Hi forumers
this is my 1st worklog here
hope to give some feedback for further improvement
i named this project as the white dragon because there is another model with red interior and its called red dragon

Basically this project should includes some minor mod on the case but i already did it 4 months ago (so no pics on WIP) in order to fit radiators..

so now,the project is that i'm trying to do some usual touch up as every one did
1. PSU, HDD and bay acrylic cover (maybe cover it with CF sticker)
2. Replace current tubing and re-route my WC loop (changing from bay to tank reservoir)

FYI,this case is an advance mid tower,so i can say its a bit difficult to put all those wc and hardware stuff in this case nicely (with a good cable management)
wish me luck

p/s:i dont have any dslr to take pictures,just use a standard digital camera and some of the pictures are yellowish because of background lighting

here are all the items (add-on) that i bought for this project

u can request for more pics if u want to,i don't have any ideas on what should i snap

this my current setup btw

minor update....

already cut the acrylic



so i planned to do like this

Wow Ini sempoy.. nice loop

but still cant beat ur mod bro

some progresses,already done disassembled all of the hardware









old tube,looks terrible



all rotaries and fittings that i'm gonna used (some are used), need to get male to male extender,anyone?



because of too much space restriction,i need to DIY the mount for res holder just using acrylic





and action need to drill a new hole to hold the mount (just working on the bottom holder atm)

Bro, Looking great so far man!

Man... your tubings reminded me of my 1st tubes from tygon when I was still not aware of plasticizers. got to definitely look out for that. Now with Primo, that shouldn't be a prop!

Great Idea on the res holder but just make sure it holds up ya! don't want it to patah from the weight of the res when it is full.

Cant wait to see the next update! think it will be great!

Good luck man!

hi bro
the old tubing are tygon,duralene and nucleartec,all of them got plasticizer issues and the tygon will become yellowish after quite some time

i hope so it will not break,i'm using eproxy to joint them

thanks for the wish bro

Ya all those tend to have discoloration. but dun worry so far I using the Primochill clear it has been awesome! no discoloration whatsoever.

I think It would be fine. should be strong enough

wah..abam..lawa pc..

belum siap da lawa,mcm mana tu

nice pc k62 casing,i also own this casing~~

u should wc it,very challenging one,but satisfaction guaranteed

yup,i also want WC on my casing....just money problems now..haha...wait n save more...
White colour CAsing with blue lights effect is so cool

To be continued ......

good job bro

thanks bro,cant wait to finish this project
so pisang cannot play any game atm

nice work man, love the carbon fiber. but the res, not blocking the ram?

thanks
nope,not a problem and all matters have been taken into consideration,thanks on ur concern

just a sneak peek,need to use flash (night photo)



still a lot work to do

This post has been edited by napster2142: Jul 19 2013, 04:30 AM

this is nice bro..

i think your acrylic panel with cf is too wide.blocking the view of the reservoir. maybe you can narrow it down a bit

what u saw in the latest pic is,i dont put the cover appropiately,it shud be looks alike on the "some random pictures" post
thanks for d compliment

if got mobo wblock look much better..

yeah agree
but dont have ready stock on local market

try pm/ask qwe13

He got the wb? Cos already search all his thread, dont have one

Just Pm and ask bro...qwe13 nice guy

ok thanks for d recommendation

update....

did some sleeving on the external power cable for sound card



done polishing the gpu waterblock



assembling all of the hardwares and done routing the tubing













the other side

more pictures

view of front panel (naked)



so here the bleeding test is in progress,so much easier to fill in the water into the tank reservoir rather than using the bay type one





AND !!!!

finally,this is the end of this project

sorry just got one picture for the end product,maybe need to do some repainting job for those below



any ideas on what color i should paint this fan grills?



and the side panel need also need some repainting job (sorry no pic)

so,all i can say is,u still need to wait for the ultimate ending of this project,maybe i need to hire someone for photo shoot session

thanks to everyone who are keep updated with my worklog

Might want to consider filling the res a little more. In case if there is any trapped bubble in the rad somewhere & when that bleeds, the res level will fall more & with water pouring on top it might create more bubbles making the pump sucking more & putting more in the rads.

yurp, everytime i turn it off and back on,i can see the water level keep falling,its a nice idea,but actually i would love to see the "waterfall" scene in the res
later on will fill it up more water into the res

Bro I have to say that is one great looking cramp WC build you have there!!!

Well Done!! I know the challenges you have been facing but it turned out looking great!

Love what you did with the CF sticker & very impress how you manage to turn that case into full WC!

so how are the temps? hope all are good!

really nice bro. however your ram color did not match the theme

yeah,i'm having so much difficulties because of so much space restriction

the temps?its same as before,maybe got different around 1c and its time i need to do some stress test n record the temps

thanks for d compliment

thanks

any suggestion?

Waterblocks.

maybe will get a wb for mobo,no need ram wb,very tight budget

i just need to repaint back my casing,thats all n still need to practice a lot for better finishing

nope.paint sand paint sand paint sand then shiny.
