[PROJECT] "The Toaster"

[halutzparilla]

yeah thats mine, i was pissed off by the kinking and since i cant afford to buy a lot of copper elbow so i stick with the cheap plastic one....

OK, ignore that last post, I was having a **** moment... the pump is pumping into the res! Not good... so I moved some things around:




Moved pump to over by the PSU...


And the res is back up top.

That last pic looks nice Nate! Res definitely looks better up top, and the tubing runs are a bit more direct. With some careful wire management and some sleeving this thing is gonna look absolutely killer. Can't wait to see it with everything in there. Nice work.

Thanks, the res does look better up top because you can see it through the side window. Nice way to check if the pump is working. :P

[screwballl]

looks good!

OK, I figure you guys are getting bored of all this layout-changing, but I think this one gonna be final:








Pretty much final pump location and tubing routing...


My nifty little way of hiding the GPU cooler's power cable.

Finally a update...

I got around to disassembling the case entirely to get ready for the wire sleeving that I ordered. My workspace is in complete disarray.







I stripped the motherboard in it's heatsinks so I could reapply thermal paste to the NB and SB (Ciramique).







Voided the warranty is doing so.



Now all I can do is sit back and wait for the wire sleeving.

Looking sweet man, cant wait to see more

I finally sold my old radiator (gonna get a new Thermochill 120.2) and with that money I got a new chipset cooler, a Thermalright HR-05 IFX, as well as a backplate for my D-Tek Fuzion.

Should be fun!

Got some paint for Ace Hardware and I'm going to paint the I/O plate, PCI slot covers and the Fuzion mounting plate. It's a matte black, semi-flat Krylon paint.











Believe it or not, this is actually black but there is a reflection.
