The aim of this build is to build something small as the name depict. Previous builds were done on cases such as corsair 800D, Lian Li A05NB, and finally TJ07. However, due to study, I constantly travel between 2 places . . . and carrying a water cooled TJ07 is really not a good idea ! (with corsair 800D being the worst, thanks to its steel construction). This upcoming work log will be using a mini ITX case, and to put up some challenges (to me at least), I decided to water cool it (since I have leftover parts ).

The selection of parts will be reveal as work log proceed as I had no idea what to choose. . . . . .yet. However, the choice casing had already been decided.

:scared: feels so formal

Let me begin with some random shots, not any teaser, but, at least some pictures to compensate the boredom of WORDS ! !





I painted one of the stop fittings



Arhem, some photos from my trip to Sabah



Mount Kinabalu ! well I was lucky to be able to see it on bad weather 8-).

Thanks.

MDPC-X for all except white, which is from colortrail.


nah, i owned it all along, jz that i m looking for a lighter grey and even darker grey. lazy to get from mdpc-x, cz needa wait for like a month, which is tedious. anyway bro, the diameter of ur sleeve is comparatively smaller than mdpc-x's right ?

Thanks guys for the compliment

Finally ! unboxed the casing *.* and shot some photos ~



















Just some quick shots, hope its still capable of keeping your eyes entertained 8-)

yeah I have some artic cool fans as well as some noiseblocker. I'm thinking to use noiseblocker, so, wanting to keep all fans black for unity. jz a thought though, havent decide yet.

Anyway, been working on a GPU cover whole day. and here is the partial product obtained:







Hmm... :-/ still wondering how should I mount it ~ since its and aluminium, fearing that it will conduct electricity during operation since the card is in contact with the metal piece.

Updated the pictures

A friend study aboard at UK finally came back to Malaysia, and he's kind enough to deliver this reservoir to me ! 8-)8-)8-)













Sigh, it's really hard to get the seller to reply pm nowadays. one of em didnt reply me after i left a msg more than twice, and this happened a month ago.

Hi, currently, I myself using aluminium. but i think it is safe to be painted, making sure it's non-conductive, to prevent short circuit, plus aluminium is light, wont place higher amount of load on the gpu itself, prevent straining. as for mirror, i nvr heard of it though, but i think its quite heavy la, if u want mirror finished, u might can look for mirror acrylic. Bt i searched quite some places, and only large supplier carries them.

The photos are perfectly fine. this might due to ur internet connection or server problem.


it can be visible ~ more or less, covering it will of course, achieve non-compromise looks

Anyway, some pictures of the ram i bought yday







Hope you guys like it

GO GRAB IT DEN !

Mobo searching still in the process ~ ~ i wonder any shop in lyp carries asrock z77E-ITX

I think its possible, since there are some small hex screw in sight.

It's around 360.

the only thing frozenq res has is an internal tube within the res, and personally (no offense) i don't like it.

While waiting for the paint of GPU I/O bracket to dry, I disassembled the GPU block for some cleaning . I was worried bout

staining and corrosion due to colored coolant, as I've seen major stain occur with the use of EK blood red coolant.

Fortunately, no stain were found :thumbsup:, jz some minor fouling :foot:. Let's have the photo do the

talking shall we ? =)



Fouling effect of blood red particles !





Cleaned up 8-)



Cleaned up both



Fixed the acetal back to where it belongs, pop a beer to celebrate the end of cleaning progess

As for the custom GPU bracket, I'm still thinking whether to use it or not :think: as the result is not what i had expected. maybe i

should modify it a little more.

Errr, I'm not sure if i still keep the original dimensions, since this i had sanded it and filed it. might not be accurate.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Some update. finished the cpu bracket as well as back plate









Oops a gold sheep :gasp:







More of it ! ! :panic:

exactly !

nope, i sanded it.

yes, dats y i said i might ditch the backplate or maybe create another one. and thinking to get the one from evga and paint it

Somehow it looks uglier with backplates on. arghhh i m so confuse lol. anyway, too much filling has been done on the backplate, making the surface uneven, not nice, so gonna ditch dat.

Anyway guys, any guide to make sure how to drill proper holes ? lol. I'm reli worst in drilling holes.
