Yep I'll definitely get rid of the casing and probably extend the led wires to get the leds on some kind of rod that can be positioned in the tube.Quote:

hehehe I'm always ready to share my opinion :) I like the idea of manual controls too - while wiring to the hard drive would be awesome, I have no idea how to go about it. But the manual control version will be a lot easier to do and just as cool. I shall await the video clip of it strobing away... :DQuote:

Here is the cutline on the front panel for the radiator fan. I'll lose two of the screws that fix the front to the chassis (the lower two holes within the circle) but four should be sufficient as the completed project will be much lighter than the original scope when it was complete.
This shows where the rad will be positioned on the inside of the front panel
The radiator and fan will be secured to the front panel with stainless screws and the coolant pipes will (probably) route along the floor of the case to GPU block and res.
Looks great.
Thank you.Quote:

The old front panels

Will be replaced with new taller aluminum ones that will cover the row of eight holes at the bottom. More to follow on this.
These large stainless handles will be modified so that the 'finger space' is the same as the small handle
All of the parts for the CPU res are also away for machining and fabrication. I'll drill and tap the holes for the fittings myself. The GPU res will follow when I've got the remaining materials that I need. I'm also getting some nice custom feet made for the case, more to follow.
Some new tools :banana:
M3 and M4 taps and wrench
1/4" BSP tap and wrench with 11.5mm drill for res' etc
And last, but not least
A nice set of professional drill bits- very handy :up:
Small update:
Got the fans I'm using for the rads. They shift nearly 70CFM on 12V and are supposedly quiet with good static pressure.
M3 Allen screws to hold the fan to the rad. The threads were a bit long so Ive used some washers to space them out a bit
Cpu rad ready for fixing to the front panel when I get it back
Case carry handle stripped, cleaned, painted and reassembled
Update:
Some of the parts I gave to Vinny are ready (cheers mate)
CPU res parts all finished except for some tapped mounting holes on the edges of the square piece
And loosely assembled. The round end should look great in the round hole on the front of the case :up:
The stainless handles are also ready after modification
Nice. I'll be interested to see how that res turns out.
Thanks. This is my first venture into watercooling. Think I only need a couple of compressions and a pump to complete the CPU loop. :)Quote:
