Supports pumps

If you remember Laing DCC will use two 1Tplus, which have only two brackets for mounting. These two brackets, 2 mm thick each, will be fixed at the pumps with two fins, while the other two serve as attachment to the case. The media has been drilled to breathe all the pumps, which will be located behind a 40 mm fan, like the ones I used in the 600T for passive radiators. The support will be decoupled from its backplate with rubber bands on the screws, and the pump instead with sound-absorbing foam perforated to let air pass through and not transmit the vibrations.

Water tanks

Yes, this time trays custom made. 600T are perfect as those of the estate, have not lost half a drop, work fine, so winning choice is repeated.

This time I changed the shape of the supports that both the glass ... you'll see later.

Thickness 3 mm to avoid placing your chopsticks 4, in the draw, stainless steel embarks if too thin. The part below was prepared with 4 holes in order to have a better chance of securing tubing.

Hole in the above instead, in order to allow refilling of the same.

Front panel inside

1.5 mm thick, the hole in the lower part to place a 120 mm fan, adapted to develop the air flow of the project.

The upper part instead, with two bent fins, will serve as support for Aquaero 5 XT and poweradjust with a special mask Aquacomputer and probably for a DVD player if I decide to put it.

Support the motherboard.

1.5 mm thick, will serve as support for the motherboard, rotated 90 ° with respect to the traditional positions.

It was a solution already foreseen at the time of the 600T but not implemented due to space constraints and incompatibility with the rest of the design which was already too advanced to be turned upside down.

In the lower part I opened a gap to pass the air through the vents of the door.

The holes are already all been predisposed to be tapped and used the legs raised bundled with the case, and then staring at the card.

The upper part was open only to remove steel and unnecessary weight to the panel. Side of the card will be ... well I will not tell now.

Here, however, there is something interesting, a beautiful Venetian glass not to betray my roots for half the Veneto region.

The glassware is the same as that produced me glasses for 600T, but this time in shades of cobalt blue and gray, which are the two colors that predominate the mod, coupled to the sleeve.

You may wonder what to serve ... if I told you the water tanks? Before I mentioned in a different form ... so, water tanks square! You will then see how I plan to assemble them to ensure a perfect seal to the whole.

See you soon guys!

First day of processing.

I started with the carving and thoroughly screwed all the cuts in the back, to begin placing the two rear panels, the inner and outer worlds.

This is followed by a dress rehearsal for their proportions, which obviously gave more than positive. The next steps will be to secure all the various panels and brackets then move on to the part of the design of the liquid cooling system.

[Dave2010]

Here I am, these days I continued fixing the total number of small panels. Today we see the two rear panels, internal and external fixation with power supply, front panel assembly and support internal SSD.

Unfortunately I made ​​a small error of judgment and I had to shorten the filler panel inside: dremel, a pretty narrowed down to finish and so serene.

Here once fixed the power supply.

[Dave2010]

I proceed with the front panel internal practicing the holes for fixing.

Here is the support for the SSD. Will be fixed exactly in the center of the front inner panel.

According to you, the better horizontally or vertically?

[Dave2010]

Productive weekend.

I finally fixed all the panels to the structure of the case. Tomorrow I will go to Leroy Merlin to get a male M3 for threading holes in the panel for the motherboard.

Then I will set foot in various bundles that give classics and black M3 screws to secure the card. I will fix definitively Aquaero and company on the front and support SSD.

Following these easy steps, I can finally get an idea of all your internal rules and to study the best paths for the LCS pipes.

A little preview...:sbav:

[Dave2010]

Small jobs during the week.

I replaced the original heatsink of the Aquaero 5 XT with his waterblock made of copper and I completed the implantation of the three elements to the inner front bulkhead.

I plan to fix the support SSD and the two rear supports pumps with cooling fans for this weekend, so I'll almost completed all the different hardware. Be followed by the construction of the reservoirs, I'll have all the internal parts, defined and proceed with the study of paths rigid pipes of E22 and proceed accordingly to conclude the conversation with already established .... you will see it at the right time, but I think it'll be the first or maybe the second, in Italy, to get this sponsorship.

Meanwhile look at these photosssss!

[Dave2010]

Here I am.

In this little up, I'll show you the mounting of the SSD's inox support.

I realize a little cover for the front panel, where there are the screws that fix the Aquaero and the other two controllers.
