Thanks!

Will do. thanks!

Done! The sides fit perfectly and clear all of the components. No rattles, no problems! IMG_9551 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9556 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9558 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9571 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9574 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9575 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9577 by GTR_3, on...

Leak tested for 6 hours, all ok! It was surprising easy to fill but the fill port is in an awkward spot, paper towel required. IMG_9504 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9505 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9524 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9525 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9528 by GTR_3, on Flickr

Some cablemod custom length unsleeved cables arrived, ready for final assembly. IMG_9471 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9494 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9496 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9498 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9499 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9502 by GTR_3, on Flickr

Time to bend some tube. I decided to use some 1/2in Primochill PETG that I had leftover from my previous build. It's very easy to bend and cut. The primochill compression fittings work well. IMG_9006 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9011 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9015 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_9022...

At the time I was building this, the case did not ship with a PCIE4.0 riser cable so I sourced one seperatly. The GPU and riser was far too tall to fit in the case even with the end and top caps removed from the waterblock. It was time for a drill and rotary tool with a cutting disc. I...

With GPUs so difficult to get, this part was pretty scary. IMG_8900 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8901 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8903 by GTR_3, on Flickr 3 x 8 pin power connectors, mental! IMG_8904 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8905 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8907 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8910 by GTR_3...

I decided to 3D print my way out of the problem by rotating the PSU 90 degrees. It was never going to be elegant but I was comitted at this point. IMG_8953 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8954 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8936 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8956 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8957 by GTR_3, on...

This is when i realised, nothing would fit. IMG_8759 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8766 by GTR_3, on Flickr

It works pretty well, out of the box. IMG_8736 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8731 by GTR_3, on Flickr

I checked to see if a single 280mm radiator would be a total failure. In theory it should dissipate ~300W per 10deg of water temp (and it does). IMG_8501 by GTR_3, on Flickr

I threw together a few rough mock-ups in CAD to decided on a case and plan the build. The Meshlicious was the winner. IMG_8499 by GTR_3, on Flickr IMG_8502 by GTR_3, on Flickr
