Megadeblow Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 With the arrival of my reservoirs I could start fastening down the top shelf & shape it better, I also did some work on the inside but had to stop for a bit as I await the pumps so I can make the cuts needed before working on the layout a bit more. while I wait I'm getting on with other bits, painted the MB last week & this week iv been making the front switch panel to house 5 Phobya push switches.. could have the switch holder in a couple of different positions. feel free to add your thoughts on what you think looks best 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadeblow Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Nice color scheme on the motherboard shield! Glad you like Thanks -------------------------------------------------- With the arrival of the reservoirs last week & now the pumps I can workout the internal setup. over the last week iv added some internal walls & removable bases, installed the 2X reservoirs, radiators & soon i will have the pumps in place. When im happy with the layout it will then all be removed before painting/wrapping. after that's completed it will then be time to move the desk inside so i can work on the tubing & wiring. Oh, also went with position 2 for the front panel & edged the front of the desktop. The next 3 photos show the cover thats now in place to hide the leg cutout. Some of the base covers in place, & a better view of the leg cover Cut a fan hole for the V1200 PSU, but not sure im having it in this position now? The Phobya 450 reservoirs, used them on my 2013 build, decided to stick with them again Using the provided brackets to fit them under the top shelf, will wrap or paint them at later date. Covered them with some masking tape so as not to scratch them A final pic for you, looks almost complete here, but still lots of work to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadeblow Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Im using 2x 360 RADs for this build, they will be fitted to the brackets almost directly under the RES on both sides, Iv decided to move them away from the outer desk edges to help lower fan noise & give better options for dust control. by doing so I had to add the channels shown in the earlier photos, to help move the hot air out the back of the desk. The Phobya G-Changer 360 RADs V.2 & brackets As with all new RADs they needed a good clean, using the Blitz Pro kit that Mayhams kindly provided I had good results Im using the i7-5820K for this build along with a Alphacool NexXxoS XP³ Light - Brass Black Chrome version, Added some red to the block The pumps "Alphacool VPP655" & GPU block "Alphacool NexXxoS GPX - ATI R9 295X2" also planing to mod them slightly to the same red as the other components.

Megadeblow Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Now decided where im sticking the 2X pumps, sticking with the symmetrical plans iv placed them in front of the center of both the RADs Cut a hole in the bottom to help them get some air, if for any reason they sound loud I will block them again, but did this on my last desk & they worked fine. Padded the sides with hard foam to help reduce any vibrations Adding 2x Phobya G1/4 water temp readers to measure the temps before & after the RADs/Components Here you can see the removable raised platforms, Pumps & Temp sensors on place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadeblow Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I now have the final fans needed for the RADs & desk, Silencio FP 120 (Black) RADs MegaFlow 200mm (Red LED) Desk Jetflo 120 (Red LED) Desk Im going to be cutting holes in the base of the MB tray & instaling the 200mm fan directly underneath, This serves 2 purposes, keep the MB cool & the main reason was to get positive air pressure in to the desk. In total I will be having 6/7x120mm & 1x200mm IN, 6x120mm OUT. I will try get this done by the weekend and show you some pics, but for now heres some other bits iv been working on. Hinges fitted, but will need some adjusting before painting.. Lifts up perfectly, resting flat against the angled shelf & speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
