The black will make the red color in the lines pop and everything else as well. Contrast...

i like 1 more
sub btw

edit: i think if you add carbon to mb tray will do the job.

Hey Knight what did you use to do your concept drawings? Like added in the carbon fibre and such.

I do not mess around when building a dream computer. I can get parts now with bill me later and pay them off within 6 months....

Hey Knight what did you use to do your concept drawings?

Good old Photoshop. Fast and simple to get an idea of how it will look.

UPDATE

I got all my water cooling parts. Will post pics of all the stuff soon. I will be making updates as I get things done on the build. ​

 

[Knight091]

Ok I love the Bitspower fittings they look great and feel heavy and like they are worth the money I paid for them but dam it they scratch and flake easy. The black coating is great but every fitting is brass under the black. So if you scratch them you will see it very well. I understand not putting on more than ONE coat of paint but dam it. If I pay 10-20+ USD per fitting I do not want them to flake or scratch this easy. I mean really the compression fitting part you use to screw down the tube flakes off when use to much. >_<

Get ready I am going to rip some new ass h%les when building this computer and will be looking at everything. Why you ask...because if you pay good money you should get good products simple as that. It is building and REVIEW the products time.....​

 

[radrok]

I remember I told you to stay away from bitspower

Anyway good planning job Knight, have you thought about doing some custom work on the acrylic with some led behind it?

Good old Photoshop.

Can't be beaten, it's among the best spent money in software so far.

I am useing ABS plastic not acrylic. I will be lighting it a way that will light it the same way but for half the cost as my old idea.


My updated on my computer.









Just making sure they line up. Will have compression fittings on all the lines when done.

The pictures look great on my end and are not dark. Anyways I will be going with red cooling. That will show off the CPU block and the other tube parts. I like the rez I got. It is all acrylic and looks great. More updates soon. I ordered more parts to finish the water loop.

 

[Knight091]

I been busy. I been routing lines and trying to get a good look at the same time a good working water look. Still in the works. I am waiting for more parts. I am going to be routing the intake line from the pumps right above the top of the motherboard and then sneak behind the back of the motherboard tray. I have a hook up spot for a compression fitting alreay set up. I will have the same as you see here for the line to the top of the mosfetts. More up dates as they come.

My Ek fittings do the same thing.

Well that kind of makes me feel better. I love theses fittings. Just wish I did not have to worry about getting them scratched etc. They look and feel great. Other than the paint problem they are great. What problems did you have with EK fittings other than the paint?

nothing really it just felt kind of gritty at first but other than the paint it was a synch to use. I was going to buy the 900d but not sure it's worth the money

It's a Little Devil case done better... Not sure what you can ask more from it.

It still costs much less and It's better than caselabs imho, those are just aluminium boxes without a soul.

It's not full aluminium but it sports that material where it needs to be instead of just everywhere and it's not like full alu has any advantage over it because let's face it, we keep cases indoors.

This is like the first case that is tempting me over my test bench setup. nuff said

I love the 900D. It feels like 350 USD. I got it and wondered why they did not make it worth more like 400 or so. I have only one thing I wish was worked out with the case. It is really hard to screw down cards etc. Corsair ships a tool with the case that helps out but still a pain. I went with the 900D over a Caselabs case. Paying over 400 for a case is crazy. I had a 600 USD case once and in the end it was not worth it.

Parts I got today.

I like everything so far. The compression fittings scratch to easy but other than that all is good. The fittings feel heavy and well made. Just wish they were painted better.

 

[Knight091]

I will be making the final motherboard back cover and the cover for the lower parts tonight. Then all is left is the parts to come. Then fill the loop and test and let it run all night and leak test and DONE... more updates soon.

Last time I checked Alphacool was based in Germany and Bitspower in Taiwain.

I could be mistaken though.

They are in Taiwan. I thought they were in Germany.

I like modding. I made the bay cover mod and lost track of time. It was 4 am and I had to get up at 7 am to go to work. I told myself no need to sleep now that would be torture. I will make the motherboard and lower part mod tonight.


LAST CALL ON THIS. Will be making the parts tonight.

People please pick your favrite and the most voted on will be made. I like the one with the black mother board panel.

as i said before carbon tray looks better.
you have carbon side panel i guess you will make bottom with carbon as well and then you have black mb tray with black/red mb. it will look like black patch on carbon box (or like you hadnt enough carbon).
if you go with carbon tray then your case will look like all carbon inside and black/red mb laying on it. for me this will be more stylish.
