Alright, hello again.

I've managed to get some time to get set up and edit here in the "workshop". So this update I'll show you a bit of what I've been up to these last few days, I'll talk about the next steps after I explain what I did.

As mentioned earlier I've disassembled the rig, tried out the custom cables I recieved from Icemodz (they worked ;) ). Efter doing this I was able to get started on the various "case mods" that I had planned.

Test mounting the radiators I found out the 'murica screws used with Hardwarelabs radiators didn't fit the brackets in the R40 so I had to do some filing but it fits fine now.

Originally I had not planned to repaint the radiators, but inspecting them I made the decision the original paint finish just wouldn't fit the build. So tonight/tomorrow I will repaint them using a new technique I think will look unique and awesome, more on this when I have some results.

I've also drilled the holes for the pump bracket which can be seen among these pictures. The hex gear R40 comes with an aluminum piece/plate which is intented for these kinds of "mods". It was very easy to work with, although I am very far from an expert working with metal I think I managed to get it done pretty well. The mounting plate will be repainted so it fits with the radiators.

Anyways, enough talking. I need to get to work testing the pump and painting radiators and plate.

Here are some pics:

Obligatory GPU close-up.

The bitspower summit EF CPU block.

I used a M3 tap to tap the holes for the pump bracket. Screws fit like a glove!

I'm going to repaint most screws as well. (I know anodizing would be better, but I can't afford it right now.)

Just felt the need to snap a pic of my dads awesome trackball explorer mouse. It's very comfortable for things like editing and browsing, although the sensitivity of the ball is a bit dull.

I'm spending my night here, where did you spend yours?

Hope to see you tomorrow!


EDIT: by demand I've resized my photos, if you want to see them uncompressed I'll upload them and post a link here later.
