chopped all four fan wires in half.... it disgusted me!

made this to go with it

soldiered it all up

taped it all up then added the old sleeves back and BOOM!

the four fans and rad setup is removable by just 1 plug and 4 screws!

thats it..going back to work!

Wow... I have neither the patience, nor the *ahem* 'wherewithal' to even attempt a project like this.
Outstanding job with the sleeving. Where do you get that?

Great stuff. Nice chronology with the pics.

I can't wait to see the finished product myself.

more pics:

did the same thing for the sata drives as i HATE seeing those ugly cables

my goodness! that is some serious wire, i had a hell of a time stripping this

i just tack solder them to keep it from moving thats all

ok, everything more it less in place, also swapped out the white tipped sata connections with all black

test fitted a connection to see the kink factor

captainchris · « **Reply #29 on:** November 27, 2011, 12:24:05 PM »

in goes mommy ( did i mention i have shitty as5 under there? 24ct is on the way

)

got to love NZXT cable management!

first cpu loop, the hoses were cut exact, with no kinks

quick shot of what happening behind the mobo tray

captainchris · « **Reply #30 on:** November 27, 2011, 12:29:35 PM »

went ahead and finished the loop, was thinking so much i forgot the iphone next to me for pics..sorry

prepped for filling and leak test as well as pump cycles

dropped in the swiftech additive one time which also gave me an idea of the flow

moving the case left to right and monitoring bubbles to determine if air is in the loop

pic is dark, but saw no leaks and went ahead and clamped ( the effort to send the hose unto the barbs where extreme, they not going ANYWHERE )

Thats the 6990 sitting there in the top slot? If so, i honestly never realized you had to personally removed the heat sinks and do it yourself... I'd be scared shitless to do something like that with a card like that.

And looking good the Cpt. Waiting for those benchmarks

captainchris · « **Reply #32 on:** November 27, 2011, 12:35:53 PM »

yep virtue!! didnt see the pic where i had to actually PRY it off?

forgot to mention, i took out the clear tubing for a neater look

and to take it out, i had to slice the hose, real secure stuff

front shot, system booted

front panel snapped in

BOOM! and the fun jus begun

captainchris · « **Reply #33 on:** November 27, 2011, 12:37:40 PM »
