worked for 12 hours solid on this today
so far, i've disassembled it, cleaned it, got the motherboard waterblock installed, graphics block installed, rads in, replaced all the fans, and...er thats about it hehe. It dosent sound like ive done a lot in 12 hours, but i'm meticulous.
SHINY!
Funny story...
I needed some vaseline or dielectric grease to insulate my CPU socket so that condensation wouldnt get in and fry it.
I couldnt find any grease, so I thought the easiest thing to do was use vaseline, I thought we had some already, but we didnt.
So anyways, I got some change and went down the road.
I nervously walked into my local shop and looked around. The woman behind the counter asked me what i was after. I said "This is going to sound strange, but all I need is vaseline."
She looked at me, clearly trying not to laugh.
"It's for my computer!" I said loudly, turning red.
"That's the best excuse I've heard yet!" she smirked.
All the customers turned around and gave me funny looks.
She slowly handed me a large tub of vaseline, chuckling to herself and I hastily paid and walked out.
The things I go through to build this bloody computer!
motherboard insulated unit set up and tested successfully!
been running for hours with no issues
next step is to hook up the WC
load temp
My lovely extra hose fittings came the next day (cheers again aquatuning!) so i set about installing everything

Nearly there, just gotta install the pumps and fill it all up, then i'l be 95% complete with minor things left to do
but there is some help needed from you creative types
so, the right hand side bays need something to cover them since i can no longer put the standard bezels in there.
I decided that what would work was a 2mm peice of alu/steel the height of 8 bays and the standard width. I could then attach this to the front fascia, thus solving the problem and prettymuch completing the pc.
you can see the problem here (apologies for the poor quality photo, it was done in a hurry)
so, what i need your help for, is I can't decide what I want there. Should I just get it done in one plain white cover? Or would it look better in black? should I even get a design/ text lasercut into it? any designs or opinions you guys have would be massively appreciated
heres what you have to play with to get the idea (its probably the worst photoshop job i've ever done :p )
thanks!
