I can't wait for the final product... black and copper is just too clean.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to submit your photos to Million Dollar PC when you get finished

@edinator - Thanks man, it took a lot of saving to undertake my dream project.
@madaba - Thank you! @jackofalltrades - I work hard to get the things I love - time and patience. @PeteLightning - Thank you - I hope to have it done shortly; a few more weeks - a month at most. @TooBooKoo - Thanks mate... MDPC is already on my list of things to conquer with this mod. Some DAMN fine rigs on that site - it'd be an honor to join them. Update time. Today I decided to finally fabricate the mount for the Pico-ITX waterblock/pump. First I made a prototype from cardstock at 1:1 scale.  The I busted out the dremel and attacked a scrap piece of aluminum - left over from an old Lian-Li mod.  After an hour or so of hand filing, a couple quick bends, and a few holes drilled we get this:   It's then mounted to the pump/waterblock:   If you'll recall I did some modification to the stock Pico heatsink. I've now finished off these mods with a few counterbored holes:   The waterblock is installed onto the stock heatsink     Finally this entire assembly is mounted to the Pico-ITX board - which is already mounted onto a bracket holding its PSU/IO/HDD. The entire thing can now be mounted into a standard 5 1/4" drive bay.    The whole thing still needs some final edge cleaning and most likely a coat of black paint - other than that she's all done. Thanks for reading - more to come soon.

It looks pretty. Does the ITX system really need watercooling, though? Purely as an aesthetic thing, I think you're right to WC it anyways, but I'm curious from a necessity point of view. What's TDP on the chip and/or northbridge, for example?

I believe it's around 25 Watt TDP or so, depending on the specific solution. Intel/AMD mini-ITX boards (non-Atom) have a higher TDP, obviously

Actually I watercooled the Pico for pimp value. It's totally unnecessary and over-the-top... but since this project is one big over-the-top experiment it seemed fitting.
The Pico can actually run with no cooling whatsoever - The Naked Pico Challenge

A simple question to Corsair has led to a some new developments which I will elaborate upon once the parcel arrives. This mystery parcel will be shipped tomorrow (hopefully).
 I have to give a HUGE shout out to Robert from Corsair... who has been a massive help - even after that time I accidentally called his cell and woke him up (time zones are a pain). THANKS ROB! Also some news from Mips  That RAM Freezer 4 has been reengineered and now supports Dominator class RAM. This new trinket was shipped out yesterday and is on it's way here from Germany as we speak. As an added bonus this item will soon be available from Mips if anyone else is interested.

Wow oh wowee wow. This is a stunning build in the works. Hell, I thought I was doing good to sleeve my exposed wires on the build I have working. Very impressive!

@Shellac - Thank you very much sir.
@Aku12 - 7mm OD on the barbs Updates...many updates. I have more to share but I'll save it for this evening. My NAKED RAM courtesy of Corsair - 8GB of 1066mhz Dominator.    My Dominator compatible Mips RAM Freezer 4 has arrived as well. This this is BEAUTIFUL, a fantastic peice of engineering. The build quality is top notch.     Here they are installed:        I have several more updates to share, but I've been really busy the past week and I've not had a chance to take pictures. I'll post more stuff this evening - with that will be pics of some more Corsair goodies. Thanks for reading.
