Phanteks Elite Build (Custom Distro boards)

[andrem]

Hi Everyone

I've always wanted to do a Phanteks Elite build...

So thanks to Carbonite and it's wonderful community I managed to pick one up for cheap. (duh, this is Carb...)

This is the ultimate case as well being epically HUGE!

With this in mind, I decided go all out and do a dual water Loop with some custom made Distribution boards.

Without much further rambling here are the SPECS:

I found a carbie(@ENDU1997) that was willing to assist me in designing and manufacturing the distro boards.
His amazing ideas and design is the best part of this build and will make it a one of a kind.
Some pictures to follow.
Will be back soon with some pictures of the hardware and watercooling goods.

Sub for more awesomeness!

I think the Distribution Boards alone is more expensive than my whole system

you'd actually be surprised

@andrem did you have the channels built around a specific motherboard and/or CPU block?

Not really I only shipped the Case to @ENDU1997 domestic rates with the courier guy was like R250
he measured the case and we just used our imagination... Hopefully it works out.
Will see this weekend im starting to strip my old rig. doing some flushing cleaning and then ill start the build
Will add some more pics as it happens

was about to ask what is up with that 1 channel only having 1 port, but expect it is on the bottom

@ENDU1997 really did a great job

think we should start enlisting his services for some nice alu combs and backplates as well

that rad is sooooo thicc, you can almost run it as passive

 

[andrem]

I might just do that. 3 Fans at R1700 is just mad

Wish the Luxe 2 had a dual compartment.

It is pretty much exactly the same placement as the PC-o11 - Bottom left corner with the PSU flipped up on its side.

Edit: i know you going to straighten clean up the cables and even without it done it looks insane
