[Markes12344]

That is one THICK rad! clocks a tickin… you got this bro!

Components are installed and loop is assembled, just leak testing with distilled. There is a drip from the CPU block itself, nothing else so far.

Literally at the wire lol. It runs! Posting from it now.

No time to make it tidy, but I finished!

Great job !

[Grinder]

Thanks Francois, that was too close for comfort ! Wish I had time to clean it up a bit, take better pics, and show off the exhaust lights. But I am happy that I got it up and running!

[Grinder]

Time to grab some sleep. Good luck everyone!

Awesome job dude! You've definitely got me itching to do a tribute build to this! The whole idea blows me away! *no pun intended* haha :p

cant wait to mod against you again next year hopefully! Great job and good luck!!

[Grinder]

Thanks Kaidis, I will try not to point the jet wash in your direction! Good luck to you too, I look forward to seeing your work next year

Markes, that IS a thick rad, especially for a 120! Same thickness as the massive 480. And thank you so much for the encouragement, it helped me get in under the wire.

Definitely an interesting concept, nice to see the creative mind at work here. Well done.

Grinder, I think MODell XPS will be many peoples favourite for years and years to come. Perfect!

[dknourek]

Very cool mod and concept, and well executed! Great Job

[Grinder]

Thanks very much for the kind words

I think the case was calling out to me to have this mod, but it isn't perfect. I ran out of time to do proper cable management (didn't even install one of the cable shrouds that I created) or configure the interior and exhaust RGB lighting. The problem was that when I assembled the loop, the GPU area didn't work out the way I had planned as there simply wasn't enough space. It took me hours to find a solution that worked using the components that I had available. Daz is fast, but even he couldn't get stuff to me in an hour ! That said, I am still very happy with the result
