Notes

[[Modifications]] The M59 case has been modified for water cooling. I have cut out a hole in the top for the radiator and installed a Koolance riser and I installed a rocker switch in the back for an LED wiring harness, independent from fan power. I built the reservoir from scratch using 1/8" black tinted acrylic and a Danger Den acrylic DDC top cemented to the top of the reservoir with a rigid extruded acrylic tube "snorkel" so the pump will not suck air. A fill port was drilled and tapped in the front of the reservoir. All fans (6) are Sclythe Slip Stream Ultra Speed fans which have been modified with red 3mm LEDs and white painted fan blades. As previously mentioned, all LEDs are independently wired to a switch in the back of the case for independent lighting control. The front bezel LEDs have also been replaced with red LEDs. [[Water Cooling Loop]] The loop was designed to use the least amount of tubing possible in order to utilize the least amount of space possible in the mid tower M59 case. Thus, instead of traditional barb fittings and tube loops, I opted to use 45 and 90 degree Bitspower fittings. As you can see in the pictures the result looks great. The loop begins by pulling water out of the reservoir through a snorkel before entering the pump. I decided to go through the pump first because it was much simpler than starting at the radiator. Water then travels through the CPU-360 before the MB-EVX58, VID-NX470, and MVR-40 water blocks. It then travels into the radiator and is passed through a pure silver coil (for anti-microbial protection) before returning to the reservoir.
