I will use a little unconventional mounting option for my HardWareLabs Black Ice Nemesis GTS420 Xflow radiator and be quiet Silent Wings 3 fans. The HWL radiator will be mounted outside the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 between the case cover and frame. This option lets me expose the fans inside the case and
Alphacool pass through water cooling fittings
When you think if a custom hard tube water loop and a gaming PC you think if clean lines, order and well planned loop. I had a dilemma as this was my first loop. My main thoughts was to stay 100% true to my Alphacool fittings plan and add some Alphacool pass through fittings. Alphacool
GPU bracket for ASUS 1080Ti part 2
The first part of this GPU bracket mod went very well, but left a big hole to finish. I have planned for an ASUS ROG FE GTX 1080Ti with an EKWB plexi water block. This amazing card needs to be mounted vertically which I fixed in a previous mod, Vertical GPU bracket for ASUS ROG
Vertical GPU bracket for ASUS 1080Ti part 1
I had a vision from start that I wanted to mount my GPU vertically. I think that all water blocks are to beautiful to hide. I didn’t want to use a factory solution as most of the shelf products are big and bulky. Time to go to work on my previously bought aluminium sheets and
Inside case wall part 2, finishing touch
Now when I had the frame and brackets done from the previous inside chassi wall mod it was time to finish the base plate and the actual inside case wall. It should of course be carbon fibre and help the white pastel fluid in my floor mounted Aqualis XT 880 ml reservoir pop. After some
Inside case wall with custom LED lighting and carbon fibre spacer
As I explained in an early update I decided early in the process when creating the custom PSU cover, that I wanted to design an inside wall. To hide the HDD ladder that I wont use in this build. I also wanted to create a dark foundation for my Aqualis XT 880 ml Reservoir to
Final step of the custom PSU cover for project Zeuligan
It was finally time to finish my first real piece. Last step of first piece in the rest of my life… I’m talking about the custom PSU cover that transformed into a secondary floor including an EKWB D5 PWM Plexi pump, Aqualis XT 880 ml reservoir covering the amazing Corsair RM1000i PSU. The last step
Custom be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 PSU cover / secondary floor part 2
The whole concept when I started thinking about my custom PSU cover or secondary floor, were to mount the top of the pump above the floor and hide the pump under. Adding to that effect I wanted the reservoir next to it. When I did my initial drawing I didn’t have the pump measurements, but
Custom EKWB D5 PWM pump and Aqualis XT 880 reservoir bracket
To ensure that I can mount my EKWB D5 PWM pump together with the Aqualis XT 880 ml mounted inside the custom PSU cover / secondary floor of my case I decided to create a combined mounting bracket. Feels like modding started for real. I started with a standard vertical mounting EKWB pump bracket and
Custom PSU cover for be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900
Nervous, first time modding and working in acrylic, worried it will not bend as sharp as I need or cracking when bending. After a quick experiment on how much I could bend and how much I should heat my 5mm acrylic sheet I got to work on creating my custom PSU cover / secondary floor
