The pump has assembled a top EK.

EK-D5 X-TOP - Acetal G1/4 Rev.2

Hi

I just received the same pump top now and beautifully made it is too. I can now re-site my pump but I want to incorporate this filter in the system as well.

I'm not very keen to put filters, since they do is make the circuit more restrictive.
But hey, do not look bad.
I mounted the TOP ek your D5?

Hi

If you want to you can check out my review of the filter here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,4867.0.html

I have the pump top now but as I am still using the pump it will have to wait until I can find time to change it over.

Very impressive, and you didn't want to show them! ;D  Nothing to not feel proud about there.

Are they UV or blue CCLs ? I couldn't make my mind up ?

Hope you don't mind  but I just fixed the link in your second picture so that it works now. ;)

jannie these are some great PCs you have there! The office or whatever that room is is even better, though ;D. I mean, DAT SHELF! :o

I'm afraid I don't have anything even remotely gorgeous to show but here I go ;). Just one pic for the time being as I didn't even have the energy to take it properly. I've spent about an hour fighting with that bottom fan. I don't know if this is something that only Gentle Typhoons experience but that bottom air intake is normally way too close to the fan. It caused a mighty whine at higher RPMs that at least doubled overall case noise. Because I didn't have anything else, I used 2 motherboard spacers to get it far enough.




I have no idea why the image got distorted in the top right corner.

I know there's a lot of multicolored cables around but I don't think I can do much better than this. I can't really find more space to tuck them away. The bane of non-modular PSUs, I suppose :P.

I noticed the same that the Typhoons are very close to the surface  of the mount. What I would suggest is that you get an old fan of the same size (or even a cheepo fan) and rip the centre out so you have just the surround and use that as a spacer.

If you really want to get rid of the multicoloured cables you could sleeve them. Most modders do this and it does give a nice finish to the job. A bit fiddly but worth it.

Soar, you really don't want to know how it looks on the other side. Suffice to say that it's one huge tangle of cables that barely fit ;D.

I just may go for it but probably no sooner than around summer. Won't make that much of a difference anyway as most of the non-black cables are SATA ones and I don't really see the point of modifying them. That leaves POWER, HDD, etc. cables and motherboard power extension. Right, GT fans and eventually the rear exhaust, too.

In the end, it doesn't matter all that much as normally you won't see more than the front and right panel of my case. Most of the time it's just sitting there under my desk :P.

Man, I'd like to paint it black inside but I don't have the means to do it.
