Here are the last tasks before I finish,

the covers for the screws are added and covered with white silicone.




The cables are hidden in a cable tunnel


Now I just need to add lighting and the tubes and wire the rest. After that, I need to make a few cable sleeves and then I will have finished this project already!

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

The first custom cable sleeves are done. Many thanks to www.gosumodz.com, they helped me a great deal with the materials and tools I needed. 









This is a test for a "special" coolant  We'll see if this turns out as planned (and no, this is not Mayhems)

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

The tubes have been bent and I started with the tubing.

Enough for today, here are the last pictures of today 

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

I've come a long way today.

Today it was time to take care of the interior panelling.
The side panels are cut into the right dimensions, prepared mounting points for other elements and tapped the M4 threads.

In the meantime, I also painted some more fittings.

First trial is looking good, don't you think?

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

Top Arbeit !! Klasse in Gold sieht super aus !! Weiter so und viel Glück Wünsche ich Dir !

Vielen Danke Terrorheizer

Both cases are now connected and screwed together. The rear cover is cut into the right length and drill holes are being marked.
The aluminium plate is now mounted at the rear with 3mm screws and nuts.
I have used the new golden washers from www.gosumodz.com

I have changed my mind and the radiators are mounted at the top after all 

Riing are gilded too 
The fan blades were easy to remove (just by gently pulling)
I cleanded the fan blades and removed some greasy residue. After that, I painted the fan blades. After the paint had dried, the Riing fans are ressambled and tested

The Avexir memory is being repainted as well,

Gently removed the two screws to take off the cover. I slightly heat up the memory bar to remove the heatspreader from the memory.

Then I removed the residue from the glue and painted the cooler and cover white and gold.

After the paint had dried, I reassembled the memory.

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

I was busy today.

Parts of the mainboard, cooler and covers have been disassembled and painted in gold bronze.

The graphics cards are now set up for liquid cooling and the backplate was painted as well.

Thermaltake Pacific V-GTX 970 V2 (a very nice cooler, if I may add)



Asus Strix 970 ohne Kühler



And this is the MSI X99 Gaming 9 ACK painted gold bronze 




The three graphics cards from Asus




And this is how the cards look on the mainboard

Hey Djec,

 

the plexi was processed with a laser

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

Today I could finally continue.

The two 480 radiators have been aligned at the bottom of the second Core X9.



The next step was to mount the fans and start a test run.



I built a support frame out of wood to avoid pressure on the plexiglass during the drilling sessions.


I have marked the fan holes on the plexi glass and then cut them out with a drill press and a circle cutter.





The holes fit, now I just need to sand the edges and I am done.

The Thermaltale Pacific reservoir is mounted onto an 8mm thick plexiglass plate.

 

Drilled M3 holes in all corners and used a tap and die to prepare the reservoir mounts.

 

 

[[Germany] Edgar Marckmann]

Today I started working on the case.

 

I removed the back panel and mid braces of both cases.

The bottom of the top case also got a treatment because I want to run a lot of stuff through.

 

Then I prepared a backpanel of 1.5mm thick aluminium.

 

Thank good I always tidy up first 

 

Preparation for the back panel

 

 

And this is what's left when I am finished with the saw :=)

Just a little something in between
I received a POSEIDON Z RGB Gaming Keyboard and repainted its case
