So I wrote up a review for the ATCS 840, HERE
Finally came up with a name for my new case, but you can't edit titles fail =[. Anyways, WC parts have been ordered! Here's the list of parts
CPU Block: Swiftech GTZ
Radiator: Swiftech MCR320
Pump: Swiftech MCP355 with XPSC Reservoir Top
Tubing: Duralene 1/2"ID x 3/4" OD
Fittings: Bitspower G1/4" to 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD Compression Fittings
Fans: 3x Medium Yate Loons on the MCR320, 2x Scythe S-Flex Fans, one on the mobo exhaust, one on the bottom exhaust vent
Fan Controller: Silver Scythe Kaze 5.25 Bay Fan Controller
Came to a total of about 370ish shipped.
Initial plans:
Well after being inspired by other projects I've seen browsing around (omg PromethusCU, holy jesus) I've got the itch to really get down and dirty to modding. Let me know what you guys think of these ideas...
Sleeving of all cables with this kind of sleeving. I intially was going to use the Chrome sleeving, but thought it was a bit too shiny. And it's also way expensive =[ Already broke after buying my WC setup
Initially I was going to cut a plain old window, but decided it would look really tacky and out of place. So instead, I'm going to carve this into the side panel, my mom is a Chinese calligraphy artist, so if forum members need Chinese lettering in calligraphy style, let me know, and then layer some plexiglass/acrylic over it.
Then probably light it up using a white cathode or a red cathode. Still undecided on color for this either.
The front panel that hides the front intake fan I was thinking of cutting some sort of design into that as well. Either my name, or a small Love in english and my name, or just love, sorta like MurderMod. Light it up using a matching color that is on the side panel using an LED of some sort.
Silver/chrome painting of rads. Maybe repainting the HDD mounts. Still not sure if I want a whole silver look or a contrast of black and silver/chrome. Opinions?
Building some sort of bottom/top paneling/box between mobo tray and bottom of case. Right now (I'll get pictures up soon). You can see all the ugly wiring and mis-matched colors. But doing so might kill the airflow from the front 230mm fan. Any opinions?
Initial pictures:
In my old P182
On the ATCS 840 Mobo Tray
CPU Backplate opening
PSU, I don't like how there's no over-lay support bar or anything to hold it down like the P182, only the 4 screws in the back hold it.
HDD Mounting Plate
Old P182 Mounting Tray and my 640AALS mounted in the ATCS tray
More pics soon, apparently camera didn't upload the other pictures...
