2 holes to connecting the pump  Only managed to find 10mm drill bit at nearby hardware shop  And the hole diameter is about 21-22mm Have to use file to file until the diameter which can fit in the fillport, when filing it looks like i'm masxxrbatxxg and the process took about 90mins  Initial planned loop  Now have to wait for fillport arrival and get the top bracket kit from CM. Pending front panel and PSU cover design. Need some input! This post has been edited by unequalteck: Mar 2 2016, 04:31 PM

some small updates while waiting for parts. good thing about PETG tubes. u can use this cutter to cut, finishes much more better than using jigsaw  rough measurement from fill port to pump.   Blue screws to replace the original screws  This post has been edited by unequalteck: Apr 5 2016, 12:03 AM

Done wiring for vandal switch. Have to use 24awg wires as the housing is too small for 18awg wire.  Tested and confirm it's working!  Fixed the aluminum on front panel
