Somehow I couldnt update this log overhere...so a lot of updates coming up

Update!!!

Sponsored by:

It's been a while since I have updated but with a reason... waiting for stuff and never came.
So needed to improvise, because the show must go on.

Little change is that I'm going to use shiny adapters.

Also, a change in terms of the reservoirs. The choice is now 2x EK 250-X3 reservoirs.
Mounted behind a piece of clear acrylic.

I also tried some different things about the color of the ASUS mobo, but eventually i've made an extra cover for the original mobo cover.

Measured and cut a piece of acrylic.

Installed the cover to see how it looks.

Nice, but it's just not it. So next idea.

Made ​​one side white

And the other side also white

I'm doing this to get an even color playing with the LED strips.
Also pasted a piece of black mat on the front side, and placed some red LED strips at the back

And installed everything again

Some "How I do it" vids:

Acrylic tubes:



Acrylic fan cover:



Did play with some red LED strips and details

First I want to welcome a new sponsor:
Lumenledverlichting
This company sponsored my builds from the beginning and always with perfect quality LED strips and other accessories.

So also for this build some beautiful LED strips

But first the cables. Because I have used a lot sleeve for the PSU I chose for flat cables in the mid section. For the GPU I have made a slot as tight as possible. This is to get a nice tight line

Beneath the midplate

For the 24 pins I have to make a nice tight flat cable, but it will be placed like this

I did some small changes regarding the placement of the LED strips
The LEDs on the PSU cover I've placed down instead of up, because it seemed quite bright.

Placed the PSU back and changed the color from the cover where the wires go through.

So with enough LED strips in stock I had a nice idea. A cover with case feets.

For this I cut out and filed the outline of the existing scratch.

Cut out 12 plates and made ​​6 of them black. All this I have glued together with ACRIFIX.

And placed 3 LED strips of 60cm strips... lights on please!!!

In order to get a nice even glow I've placed sixth single LEDs in the case feets.

And mounted.

The plate and feet.

Connected everything.

And placed the components back.

In the dark.

SPONSOR Update!!!

Provided by ASUS :

Last Thursday I didn't left the house, because I knew there was a very nice package coming

Thank god for tracking

And in the afternoon the yellow / red guy came

Omg this is exciting

ASUS has sent me two beautiful GTX 780 DirectCU II cards. TheASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5

And of course...Unboxing:

The box,

And another box,

The accessories:
- 1 x Power cable
- 1 x SLI Bridge
- ASUS GPU Tweak & Driver

The GPU

Beautiful picture, isn't it

The ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5 GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

• Graphics Engine: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
• Bus Standard: PCI Express 3.0
• Video Memory: GDDR5 3GB
• Engine Clock: GPU Boost Clock : 941 MHz/ GPU Base Clock : 889 MHz
• CUDA Core: 2304
• Memory Clock: 6008 MHz ( 1502 MHz GDDR5 )
• Memory Interface: 384-bit

The card features a self-designed PCB that features a 10-phase VRM.
This ensures that the card can deliver up to 30% more voltage and less noise is present,
enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference.

The GPU has the latest generation DirectCU II cooler. These features as previous models two fans. One is called Cool Tech fan, it combines two types of fans and thus creates more air flow that benefits the cooling capacity.

Beneath these fans is an aluminum cooling surface present with five heatpipes. Four of them have a thickness of 8 mm.

The central heat pipe is 10 mm.

Power Connector: 6 pin / 8 pin

Ports:

• HDMI 1 x
• DisplayPort 1 x
• DVI 2 x

And a nice aluminum backplate is also present,

And some more nice pictures of both

Was a bit worried they would'nt fit because of the dimensions (28.7 x 14.73 x 4.06 cm)
But no problem

So now we wait for the great waterblocks from EKWB, but they will be released soon
Until then ..... Game on

There he is again!!

Took a while but.....we continue where we left off. First a great gratitude to HighFlow for the beautiful sponsorship due some required items.
What would I do without HighFlow??

What I have ordered for this build:

Masterkleer - HighFlow - 3/8 ID - 1/2 OD - Clear

A NZXT Frontpanel Cable Set

PSU 24-Pin extension cable

And a PSU 8-Pin CPU extension cable

I'd also needed some adapters and chose the Alphacool HF 5-Way Splitter

And the Alphacool HF 3-Way Splitter

I'm also trying some things/ ideas with some Lamptron switches, such as the Lamptron 19mm DOT Red

And ordered 2 Lamptron 19mm RING Red

More on this later. Naturally need some valves

Of course a beautiful Highflow T-shirt

Thanks Highflow And Freddy

Bought some nice SSDs which come in handy in this build

Thanks Peter

The back as it was

Customized a piece of acrylic with 4 SSDs inside

Placed like this

A red piece of acrylic where i've mounted the SSDs... and is easily removable

mounted the big transparent plate

Cut a recess for the cables

Made this black

Placed an LED strip behind, but still need one more

Placed the 24pin extension like this

Also been busy with the rad grill and the cover for PSU in the front.
Normally I do everything by hand, but my good friend Pascal van Veen helped me with his home made CNC machine. Thanks Pascal van Veen ... your the best mate.
So this time not by hand....sorry

Movie first:



As seen in the movie, the result... a beautiful rad grill

And a great cover with EKWB

And of course ASUS

=Total

Also with some LED strips from lumenledverlichting

That's it for this update...more to come!!!

Looking good! Can you keep the "sponsored by" to the first post though? It gets kind of annoying seeing it in every single post. Granted if you get a new sponsor (like with the ASUS deal) then by all means add them in.

[billygoat333]

Can I just say wow!! this looks awesome. Very good work.

[Outlaw]

Sweet build. I like the super clean look.

[d_stilgar]

Nice tools and nice kit! This will be a really nice build when it's done.
