              Thanks Daz!

              I just finished the cables management. This is pretty tricky because every angle will be visible and the space is really tight.

                Water Tank
                Top holes



                This reservoir already have an outlet at the bottom. So, to complet the loop, it needs two inlets on the top.

                Making those holes made me pretty anxious; it's an one shot deal. If it happens that I crack of damage the Water Tank that would be a really big lost and then, if I make those holes few millimeters off, the tubes alignment wouldn't be perfect.

                I got the courage to start... With this step dril bit:

                  The Lid



                  This custom reservoir is almost done. The last thing to do is to close the top. For that purpose, I found the perfect pan lid.

                  For the top event, I modified this Darkside steampunk style end plug by doing a little hole in the center.

                  Then, on the lid, I used the ring from an acrylic Darkside passthrught and I glued it with clear epoxy. Also, I used the passthrught left over part (cutted previously for the Interlinks) to adapt the holed end plug to the ring.

                  The Lid is the perfect spot for this beautiful Liz Art Yin Yan sticker. Thanks to my wife who worked hard on it.

                    First try


                    Will it fit on?

                    Yes! But Liz needs some adjustments:

                    Everything is really hard to put together; the big hole have a small bottleneck 3-4mm. Removing those fews millimeters will make it easier next time.

                    The GPU and monoblock tubes are not well aligned vertically. I modified the Interlink; replace this 14mm male-male (modified with epoxy) by this 7mm (modified as well) and add a 7mm extender on the other side:

                      Except this bracket; it's not as vertical that it should be. It just needs a little heat and modeling:

                        The visual effects with the unique liquid I will use will be awesome with those UV LED.

                          Inlets



                          Those inlets inside the reservoir needs to be redirected to maximize the visual effects of the liquid by inducing movement and streams.

                          From that:

                              After the flush, it's time for the real liquid concoction: demineralized water, Mayhem Green UV and secret fluid.
