Like I said, still a WIP.
 
That would be a 240 rad grill hole if im correct, only that he decided to use a peice of plexy glass instead of the grill itself.
 
why is there only one fan on the rad? or are there some on the back.
The fan is there for pic purposes only. There will be four but I still have to sleeve them.

What's going in that rectangular hole in the top of the case?

I only have on Rad, a Feser 480 on the bottom.
 
Leak test, pass so far....a few more hours and then I will be in the home strectch!

I have a strange feeling the Feser 120.4 is going be outstanding.
 
So what are those bushing you are using for the tubes going through the mid-floor.

I like the reservoir, who made it.

They're just rubber grommets.

And the reservoir is made by EK. I believe it's the EK250.

Give that man a cigar! The grommets I used are from Germany and they are great. I picked up some at Lowes and HD but they are not as good.
Yes, that is the EK 250 Res with the anti-cyclon feature and I also added a second Res bottom.

Hopefully I can fire this system up tomorrow. I have a Feser 120.4 in the bottom, and I powered up the fans today, I have never felt so much airflow through a Rad.
 
Well I figured they were either something like a drill bushing or a stepped rubber bushing. Anyway they look nice so you got a link or you want to part with a few?

I got them from Murder Mod. They are not the grommets you find here in the states. You have to see them to understand. It's the little things that make a huge difference.
 
Nice sleeve job. Gotta love the Murder Mod Sleeving :)

I will hopefully have my kit here next week. Then I become the sleeving mad man.

I see you're using some 45's in there. Much of a hit on flow or are modern 45's better?

Thanks, the M|M sleeving gear is top notch. The BP rotary 45's are the cats pajamas!
 
I've got a fortune in BP parts coming in over the next few days. I'm looking forward to getting this build started.

Unfortunately for me, M|M is selling faster than they can get it in. I have to wait till Monday or Tuesday of next week to get my 2 x PsychoPacks in.

I too have a large collection of BP fittings, it's like eating peanuts!
Nils is having trouble keeping up with the orders for the sleeving. But it is worth the wait and it was a good idea to get two. That is what I did and you will need them both!

And this pic is just part of the cables I sleeved.
 
Hmmm. That is EXACTLY what I want mine to look like. I've got a boat load of fans that I have to sleeve as well. That is why I got two packs. Don't want to run out in the middle of it :)
 
Mini update. I installed both sideplates, Blu-Ray, Aquaero and the HDD's. The HHD cage has a 120 Scythe on top of the cage. I have all the fans connected to the Aquaero along with a water temp probe, HDD temp probe and case temp probe. I will say this; the Scythes at full power really force the air through the Feser. Sorry for the crappy pics!

Still on target for a Sunday boot-up!
 
I'm a watercooling n00b - so I am wondering - is there any reason you don't have zipties / worm gears/ clamps over those hose barbs? Do you trust the barb to hold the hose in place?

I hate clamps of any type. I prefer a clean look, at least my definition of clean. I use 1/2" BP barbs with 3/8" ID tubing. It is a PITA to get on but it does not leak. Yes, I do trust the setup. I use a D5 pump on the highest setting and all of my systems run 24/7.
 
lol I knew something wasn't rite, i couldnt quite put my finger on it. why is it backwards?

there is a version without a display if you didn't want the display.
 
Thanks snoozer.

I tested out the new replacement gear today and everything went off without a hitch.:D

Now I have to put it all back together!
 
i think the cables look a horrible mess all seperated like that, but your loop looks nice good job.

Thanks. Sleeving is a personal choice and keep in mind you haven't seen the finished product. I cannot stand all those colored wires exposed.

Why not just dye them all black & then sleeve normally?

thats why i use split tubing and heatshrink :) i dont like the colored wires either.
 
Fantastic build my friend. We need moar pics, and a scotch. :)
 
These EK blocks are simply gorgeous.......

Not to mention the fit and the finish.
 
Nice buy on the cute looking blocks. I always like silver looking computer parts. I wonder if they would make one out of silver?
 
Thinking of getting an EK block for my 260 55nm (almost every other block is 65nm only). What is that right side of the block, the black area, made of? It looks like some sort of plastic, but I'm guessing it jst be anodised aluminium if it's going to do any good as a heatsink.

It is black anodized aluminum.
 
A small update.
The 285's are a blessing and the Strider PSU is much easier to sleeve. I added some blue sleeving to work with the tubing.
