Hi fellow modders,
It was a matter of time but here it is... my first real scratch build
Thanks to Nate from E22 for the design.
Sometimes you see a design with a wow factor. This happend too me with this design. After some consultation we decided to try to build this design.
Nate the design and I'm building.

The design:
The hardware that comes in is still a suprise...even for me 😉 , but anyway there will be an SLI set and some cool watercooling
After buying aluminum strips and other stuff at the hardware store, it was time to start building. After some fitting and measuring the frame was created. I still had an old Mobo tray from a old TJ07.
Cut some plates of acrylic and placed it.
For measuring I have an old blown up Classified.
Made the door/ cover for the PSU
And cut to size the front plate
Now it's a matter of drawing lines on the inside. The result after sawing and filing.
Cut holes for the fans at the front and the lid on top covered with acrylic
Covers closed
Placed some nice 120mm NorthQ fans to see how it looks.
More updates coming very soon 😉

The beautiful ASUS GTX780-DC2-3GD5 I have for a while in possession now, but was still waiting for the beautiful EKWB blocks.
So very happy when the EKWB package arrived:
Unboxing!!!
2x The beautiful full cover EK-FC780 GTX DCII Nickel (Original CSQ)
The water block itself
Off course all accessories included to give the GPU a new look
Installation of these beautiful products in a moment 😉
Also received 2x great EK-FC780 GTX DCII Backplates more on this also later on
Not to forget also in the EKWB box, the EK-Supremacy Clean CSQ Nickel
With accessories
Made a little movie for you guys of installing the block on the GPU
After this job.... the pictures. It was allready a very beautiful GPU, but this rocks if I may say so myself

And the superb backplates
Placed them right away to see how it looks instead of the "smaller" GPUs
Before I continue with the placement and routing of everything, I did another small adjustment. The radgrill:
I pasted first white and then black vinyl. White for better light distribution and black to finish the whole thing.
And placed red LED strips behind.
Lights out
Back to the water blocks and routing. This was already known, but I had to change because of other measurments EK-FC link (placed a little bit higher)
After some fitting and measuring... again managed to get everything straight
Looks like...
Connected everything with the C47 adapters.
And some pics with the LEDS on
Creative again with adapters and acrylic tube (masking tape will be removed and need to make cover for the LED strip and open space 😉 )
Next update... filling the Scratch!!!

From the resorvoirs to the pump/ in
Pump out to the first radiator
And from radiator to radiator
Then RAM block in, then from RAM block out naar CPU... And the rest you know and is visible

Covered everything with toilet paper
