The Powersupply from Fractal

Test fitting some hardware and planing the loop.

Test fitting some hardware and planing the loop.

Ram clearence is an issue we all know about.
And well it is happening hhere as well,
It is something to expect when trying to go all small on a computer build with watercooling.
But there are ways of fixing this ☺

Drain and fill port system in the making.

Keep in mind this is only a test fit
The final loop will be done with other piping and all the fittings will be chrome.

I think this part of the loop will look great once it is in its finao stages 🙄

What do you think?

I think this turned out alright ,
Now on to the next part

Front Panel progressing nicely
Going for that Ford Model A look ,still lots of work ahead.

and finally it continues...
First order of parts have arrived...
I sure love me some fittings 😎
together with some nickel plated tubing and Alphacool flowsensor (which in my opinion is a gorgeos Design)

First nickel plated pipes are in place 😎

we i am able to close everytging in the back.
and the front end (Grill) is in progress aswell.

Preparing the Case for paint 😎

Got an extra set of fans today.
and started painting them.

Finaly i can start painting.
First i had to make my paint booth Bulletproof.
the i got cought (and had to take a mugshot)

but i am still on track .... unstoppable ����������

everything was sanded and primer applied after applying primer i wet sanded everyrhing and cleaned it up.
Now it was time to add the colour.😎

Thank you.

A few Spraycans and 30 Rivets later
I think the result is looking alright
