Changing some things around in my build.

Added another rad and going the dual loop route.

Pretty tight fit, getting the bulkhead adapters all connected up with the rads.

Shot of the fans and new rad from the other side of the case.

The dual loop setup. Pretty much mirror images of each other.

Leak testing on the CPU loop is all done, and now flushing for a few days with distilled water before I put the mayhem's pastel white back in it.

I plan on getting the GPU loop up and going later this week. Shouldn't take but additional hours, as the entire waterbox is complete.

Just a quick shot of the whole setup. I've got a few things to finish up, as you can see. The whole front is being replaced with acrylic. The wires hanging from the front are temp sensors. 5 of them, and they'll be mounted to the acrylic front. I've also got some mayhem's pastel black coming in for the CPU loop.

Love this rig

I went to Nürnberg today with a friend who took me to look for a PCI fan in a couple of the electronic/PC stores, but couldn't find any on stock, as no one carries them

But I was able to get 4 LED strips, 2 X 30cm and 2 X 60cm: BitFenix.com >> Products >> Premium Modding >> Alchemy 2.0 Magnetic LED Strips

At home I found my extra peripheral/SATA power cable, plugged it into my PSU, put one 30cm in the right(wall side ) of the case that has the metal panel with a cut out honeycomb design vents,

and placed the other 3 on the glass panel side:
Sorry about the pic quality, they were taken with my webcam

What's cool, is how the light coming through the vents on the wall look like flames

Now I need to try some cable hiding

I finally got some decent quality pics of my PC.
Last week when before we went to Nürnberg to look for the PCI fan(that no one had in stock),my friend took some pics to help describe I was looking for(I also had brought my Z170A's manual).

This was before I got the blue LED strips:

Posted both the colored and B&W version of the first image on a photography site last week and one of the comments was the image was more apt for a show your PC than a B&W white forum. Guess, it wasn’t appealing in an "artful" way :)

Anyway, I thought I’d post these here….

System specs and photos of the system are listed here under Skylake System.

In addition to PC building, I'm also an avid photographer. The two framed photos, as well as the image on the screen are mine. The big printer on the right is what I use to print my images. It prints up to 17 x 22 inch prints.

Peace

Rebuild I did a month ago. While making the mobo tray cutout larger for the Noctua back brace I should have cut out more cable access holes but didn't. Too many cables.

Not a complete new build but some big changes; wanted a smaller case since I am keeping it on my desk but I need one which would allow a 280 rad for my new kind of an AIO cooler from Alphacool the Eisbaer which upgradable and refillable .....I did change out the fans on the AIO for some Phanteks 140mm, PWM High Static Pressure Radiator Cooling Fans.....

Simple trick but it worked.
For the three fans I recently installed, they were somewhat bland looking.
Today I finally had a chance to look around in the hobby section in a 1€ shop and found some thin blue glitter tape(comes peels off clean and easy, but sticks well enough), and taped the three front showing wells of the fan frames that sit right by the LEDs running along the bottom.
I also got some self sticking, lint free, felt pads to put over the center of all my fans(looks better under the blue LEDs)

One thing that bugs me, and I need to see if I can get some extensions, are those cables sitting on top of the fans.

If the fans were 1 millimeter larger, I would only have been able to install the one on the left,
but I was lucky that all three on the bottom of the motherboard were stripped back with only the wires, about 3/4 of a centimeter, and the connectors were not too large, and could bend them some, but not enough to tuck them in between the fans and back wall.

They are(L>R) for the front audio connector, USB 2.0 connector, and front panel connectors:
