So my new project begins

So I orded a couple things which should be arriving today, some from the UK and some locally

First Locally I got the following coming..

Coolermaster Centurion 590 Chassis


SwifTech H20-220 Apex Ultra CPU Liquid Cooling Kit


Then my cousin is coming from the UK and landing today and she has with her..

RadGrillz™ Stripes 2x120 Aluminum Black


Magicool 3 Port Plexi/AGB Reservoir - 250mm


Feser One F1 Cooling Fluid - UV Red - 1 Liter


Tygon 3603 1/2" ID (3/4" OD) Clear Tubing - 3m


Hardware wise Im slowly getting together the stuff thats going to live inside, its not going to be anything special as this is my second machine which the GF uses mostly for minor gaming and work. As for the rest of my plans for this case you guys are going to have to wait and see

Looking forward to another one of your Project bro!!!

Definately gonna be keeping an eye on this one
This time though, double check for leaks in the WC

ah yeah LOL I will do

Nice stuff seany, ampt to see this one,

Thanks guys, will take pics of the stuff I get tonight and post it up

Oeh yay!!!!!! Your stacker = HOTNESS!

Well some of the stuff has arrived but with a slight problem.

The coolant, the blue one for rebirth and the red is for the new project.


The Tygon tubing.


The Alphacool 250mm reservoir.


And here we have the problem, two of these arrived instead of a dual 120mm one


But I have to order some more stuff so I will just get the right one next time round or make a plan to make my own.

Well that sucks

Have you considered making a grille yourself?

Ye dae I got some contacts who work alot with aluminium and they have a rather large laser cutter.

Skidd... nice kit u got there m8... if ur making urself a rad.... *cough* u feel like getting 1 made for me? obviously ill cover costs n charges n all

Nice stuff Skidd. With the way you put things together, I cant wait to see how this is going to turn out.

Update:
I found a Swiftech watercooling kit going for a damn good price, so I took spent the extra cash and got the Ultra+ kit that has the Gcard and the northbridge cooler as well. I dont know if I will be using the northbridge cooler though so that might get up for sale at a later stage along with the swiftech tubing since I have tyrgon which Im going to be using for this project.

Anyways enough chit chat here are some pics I took in a little of a hurry...

The Box!


I love opening boxes specially ones that contain such cool stuff in them (excuse the pun LOL)


Swiftech waterblock goodness!


What an awesome pump, I swear by these pumps!


Last but not least the dual raddy!

looking good man, this must have set you back abit.

looking forward to seeing end result...

looking really good... your mod skills are mad bro....

Well thinking of changing the case Im going to use for this project, so as far as the plans I had going for the 590 chassis they going out the window.

I found a local supplier of the Silverstone TJ04



Its got the layout Im looking for with a more appealing external look that has plenty potential

the tj04 is under a grand... wat a bargain

TJ04 FTL!
TJ07 FTW!

QFT!!!

Viceroy sponser me one and I would gladly mod it.

Besides a TJ07 is way to big for my GF's machine. She wants something small and compact to carry.

Check out the tj06.... OMF 8O for a grand 2 its all i need

What I was commenting on was looks...Not a fan of the 04.
