integration Of the rad

update

I finnally managed to fix both rads, 360 in the bottom part and a 280 in the top part

the reservoir won't be fixed but only maintained by the tubing

When I started the project, I was planning to link the pumps to the rad like this, but I changed my mind, u'll see why later on

Installation of all the components to check if it fits properly and it does so far

I've also put the smll HDD cage from the bottom part and fixed it instead of the bigger one

I've also made a hole between the two parts

And put this fitting

Made some space for the cable management

Putting back the components

The 140 fractal fans on the rad

The 1st GPU

Koolance 13/19 fittings ( I love it)

installation of the tubing, wasn't that hard

First swithch on, love the red led on the mobo

with the small ROG logo

Next step the acrylic

Update

Before talking about the acrylic, let me show you what I've done with my SSDs and side panel

I've decided to put the SSDs in the hot swap , using the HDD holders

and put all together

I found those stuff that gonna be handy for the cable management

The side panel now, cut and prepared for painting

Having a lot of red on my mobo, I decided to add some Red sleeving
