Lights off!

Thanks to all that have supported and followed this worklog, and helped me with ideas and good critique!

A great thank goes out to the sponsors of this project!

And some highlights from the build:

Filling of the interconnect plate!

Initial design of the motherboard interconnect block:

Some parts:

PSU reservoir - this is a modification of the one I did for Project M8, and is now made in clear akrylic!

Prototype of the interconnect plate:

Mounted:

Deciding on what colors to use:

Huge ass quad front reservoir (this baby weighs over 3 kilo and supports two loops!) which was fun to design!

Pump setup:

Fillports:

Sleeving:

Lights under each gfx card!

Aquaero and Aquaadjust housing mounted:

Hard tubing! All over the build, and only 90 degree turns.. This was quite a challenge!

And the case compared to the next mod :)

Dying the loop:

And thats the highlights of this build:D It was a tough ride, and I hope you like it!

Awesome work as usual!!! Those connecting plates are incredible! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would like to see more on the design and build work on those.

That looks amazing Hans!! I love it...freaky cool video too! :)

Thanks guys! I am glad you like it:P It was quite a pain to make also -_-

That interconnect plate is just genius work... I love it

Thanks man!

Voted.

Great work!

Thanks man! Glad you like it:)

Good luck with the comp

I really, really like that purple. I need to finally invest in a water set up for my rig. My cpu fan broke and instead of getting a whole new cooler, water cooling sounds like more fun.
