New holes for tubing up/down:
Nice piece of steel to make holes for tubes. Only needed to lightly file the edges.
Of course there was an existing 3 mm hole that got in the way, but for looks the tube
had to run there...
Four corner stands, one spacer for cabling and one for looks!
Had to strip the cooling box completely for the rebuild...
The smallest pump in the world... and some anti-kink measures!
Running final (?) leaktest...
The back is much cleaner now...
Even thought of turning the 5870 into a true slave-card by unsoldering/removing ports, but it is nice to have in case of trouble further ahead...
hmmm, seems I needs to adjust some of those brackets.
Like the new spacers...
Leaktest is running and everything looks to be tight.
If time permits I'll finish cabling and close the cooling box later today/tonight.
Will (most probably!
) post temp stats and some final pics then... thanks for watching and for the nice comments!
