    That is what I aim for I love to make stuff people have never seen before

    Spot on! It slowly eats away the brown support, and leaves only the ABS

    Oh you have NO idea

    Small update !

    Startet the huge work of getting the wirering system done. As usual it is more work than it looks, and for now, i have to wait until i can figure out how to properly insert the pins at the right length. I also need to get a scheme of how the wires for the 24 pin sits together as i cleverly threw the one i made when i dissembled the thing away a long time ago lol! Corsair might be able to help out xD

    Some pictures of the progress:







    And also ordered myself a little something something to controll my fans Cheapo version as i dont need a display But i will show that when it comes

    Until then - Have fun!
    is that a 120.9 raddy on your case, or are you just happy to see me?

    Soooo, could not resist a test-mount. What do you think I should have some more parts monday and then i can get to the fan-routing fun.

    I will let the pictures do the speaking















    And a shot from the behind



    And my girlfriend decided that my Yoda figure was to geeky, so she flowered it up apparently... Did not notice until today lol.

    I wish I had $$ to access a 3d printer like that

    One of these days I will have a 3D printer. The more cool stuff I sell, the better my workshop capabilities will be.

    I love how you're routing cables like this. Must be a bit of an issue making sure they're all going to the right places, but this is looking really nice.

    Thanks guys!

    And yeah, I am constantly panicking about the thought of having placed a wire in the wrong spot :S

    10 days to go to campus party!!!!! I need to get my act together and get some work done lol!



    So, first of all, i needed to fix how i would get the motherboard tray out with the new cable system in.



    The operation setup.



    Result. This will let me get the tray in "sideways" in the beginning, allowing enough clearance to get the system in. Might be a bit confusing, but i will make sure to explain in a later update.



    Now to this... I have prosponed this for far to long, and better get to it. Terror awaits!



    What will happen? The wire will be cut to exact lenght so it fits the best. Then the isolation will be stripped.



    Apply a crimp^



    Crimp said crimp with the crimper tool. Repeat for success.



    First wire done!



    5 more in the bank, and the first 6 pin is done! And it only took me.. yeah... lets not talk about that.

    And now to something completely different.



    Primed the pump mount.



    And painted it black - and mounted on the radiator with a rubber strip under both long beams to hinder vibrations from the pumps.



    Mounted in the case



    And what is this now?



    Lid off - what is inthere?



    Aquaero 5 fancontroller. What would a mod with 16 fans be without one!







    And just to finish off with something fun - A uv shot of green fluid in the reservoir.

    Can't rush perfection

    That reservoir is absolutely awesome. I could maybe do stuff like this, but the likelihood of going ADD and wandering off to some other project is too high. Great stuff. You're certainly pushing the envelope of what we see here in a build.

    Hehe thanks guys! I am doing my best



    All wires in their place, and ready to some soldering.



    After soldering, and all snugged into place. Mind you, this is a TIGHT fit!



    And put onto the PSU. Its a bit hard to push onthere, but it is doable.



    And put onto the motherboard tray. Also crimped the 8 pin PSU connector. A "hider" for this, like the 24 pin and 6 pins will be made after i get back from berlin. For now, this will have to do.



    and from the back.

    I should get a PSU tester tomorrow that coolerkit.dk have been so generous to send along with a few other things. If it dont yell at me, things can be put together!
