Nice work! How did you fix the tabletop to the legs?
How are you planning to fill the reservoir and loop fully?I mean, it would be nice if this project was finished sometime........

The pump Im going to use is Alphacool's DC-LT with top.
![]()
The pump will be mounted on the side with a mount that I am going to make out of aluminium.

This is how I want to run the loop, the case is small and it is already really not much space left. If anyone have a better idea though feel free to help out.

Great looking shop you have.![]()
Glad to see this alive again!!!!!
Another update incoming. Time to finish up the pump mount and build a IO-cover.
![]()
I drilled holes in the bottom part of the pumpmount.
![]()
Measured out where the holes needed to be in the acrylic as well and drilled those.

Next part I wanted to make was a IO-cover. I started by measuring out the length of the IO as well as the widest part of it.
![]()
I added a few mm and cut out a piece.

I measured out where the bend needed to be and used my bending machine to do it.

I lined up the piece over the IO too see where I needed to do cutouts. On this motherboard the only place where were the battery is.

![]()
Cut that out with a regular metal handsaw.
![]()
Lined it up over the IO igen and it fit except for a few mm that needed to be shaped of the bottom part.
![]()
To mount the IO cover the left connector needed to be a bit higher.
![]()
![]()
![]()
I solved that by cutting out two pieces, glue them together and file them down and then add it to the connector.
The coming days I will paint all the parts, I always let that take its time as spraypainting aluminium can be difficult. I will be back when everything is painted and mounted.
With kind regards,

Yes please do!![]()
Harbor freight has a kit that works. I use an oven! It's hard, very hard to do though.
I live in Sweden so that would be hard. But I have been looking at it, problem is that with those smaller kits its harder to get a good finish.
Yeah, that would be an issue. You could also look into Automotive HVLP (high volume, low pressure) spray guns. It's what I use.
Sorry about you luck on powdercoating. :/
Time for some painting.

Im using three cans, aluprimer, matt black paint and matt clearcoat.
![]()
The alu-primer is highly recommended.

Some black paint and then almost done!

To mount the IO-cover Im using 3M's doublesided tape.

Ended up looking like this, what do you think?
