I didn't take many pictures but here is the midplate. Took me 2 tries. Good thing I bought extra acrylic.
I'm going to send it out to have a honeycomb grill cut into it where the PSU exhaust is.
I sleeved the rest of the tubes.
Finished the 2nd 8pin CPU power cable.
Came out OK.
Got my 950
And installed it.
Got more fittings. You can't see where they go but I was able to use some Q fittings to make a drain port at the bottom of each rad. I also was able to replace some silver fittings with black ones.
Got a RAID card! It works great but sadly, WHS can only recognize 2TB partitions. So I had huge issues at first but for now it just gives me the ability to have 8 more HDDs. It also helps with cable management.
Now for some pretty pictures. (best I can do atm)
So the system is filled up and running now. I got WHS v1 installed and things are going smoothly right now. I just have to finish up the midplate and install the rest of the temp sensors and then I can call this mod complete!
Hope you enjoy the photos. Cheers till next time!

Awesome build! The power indicators lights and switches are sweet, and the mallet work is inspirational. I'd be afraid to break something, but now I feel I have the solution to fix some unwanted bends in a grid of honey comb mesh I have.
Thanks! You have to try. This is my first scratch build and trust me, I've made lots of mistakes and learned tons.
Great stuff!
Cheers ^^ !
Small update.
I drilled the HDD holders to allow 4 more drives per side.
Now I need to figure out how to get more air flow. I'm thinking of cutting out a chunk of the side of these and maybe a slit between the 2 holes but I'm not sure yet. I play with it a bit this weekend.
Quick photo of the case.

Thanks! Hopefully I can get some better pics when its done
So its been awhile. I was waiting a long time to get plexi parts in and I had to travel for work for several months. Now I'm back and ready to finish this thing up.
First up is the plexi. I got my midplate back and the honeycomb fan grill for the PSU.
The grill was a bit smaller than the hole so I had to use some hot glue to get it to stay.
I spent the money and got some Mayhems Pastel Gigabyte Orange Coolant. It looks pretty freaking good. Now, I do wish it was a bit darker but it only looks light in direct light.
Here you can see how the cables and tubing are routed through the midplate.
Here are just a whole bunch of photos I took. The blocks look amazing. I'll take final pictures in light and dark.
Even the GPU block looks great.
Expect final pictures soon.
Cheers till then,
Fuga

The opaque orange coolant does look awesome. Like delicious orange juice.

Great color choices. Not something you see everyday and I like that. Well done.
Cheers guys! I'm really happy with how it came out. I can't wait to do some final pics but I need to wait for my new tripod to arrive first.
Wanted to let everyone know to go out and pick up this months Custom PC magazine because Project Honeycomb is the feature mod in it!!!! I'm so happy to be in a magazine and its my first one. Can't wait to get my copy.
Sorry for not posting final pics sooner but here they are.
Thanks to all my sponsors and thanks to everyone who read my worklog. More projects to come.
Cheers!

very impressive the amount of time and know how you put into the project. im about to start my first soon and youve added a lot of inspiration
I love the case. Looks great and the lighting is damn near perfect. It'd be really cool if you could backlight the fan controller orange.
One thing just grabs me every time I look at the internal pics though. The kinked hose to one of the reservoirs drains. Its a woman with a beautiful face, and that one damn snaggle tooth.
