Really hope i can get this copper pipe to work, im new to bending pipe, bending multiple bends may test me, hope it all goes to plan.
Still fabricating my mid-plate, the term sLIGHT is an acrylic sheet with light omitting from beneath, unfortunately without this finished it halts all further progress with the build as most of the installation into the case relies solely on this being installed first.

I'll have some new pictures of the sLIGHT up hopefully this week to give everyone a better understanding, Im not the first to do this as its been used in many MDPC builds.

I just bought a few samples of pastel, going to throw in my res and see how they look, i may end up going with Mayhems Blood red dye's.
Too many companies bring out UV coolants, i think they look tacky.

Wow Battleship, just wow. I think if I had all those parts in front of me I wouldn't be able to sit still and take the necessary time to do it right. Really looking forward to the finished pictures.

Massive delay on this build. Waiting for my pass through fittings so i can start putting this all in the case. Damm you slow dhl.

Shipping via battleship

One of my typhoon fans somehow lost 2 blades...
Now i need to buy another fan

How much is this coming out to be?
