Part 2

The new "PSU mounting plate" with Panaflo L1A. I made it using the original mounting plate as a model + the additional hole for the Panaflo. I had to rotate the hole for the PSU because originally the PSU is mounted with the 92mm fan upwards. Beneath the Panaflo is the AC connection and switch for the waterpump.

"Spoilers" near the fans to prevent the two 80mm fans to suck in hot air from the PSU and the Panaflo (I smoked a lot of sigarets just to see where the airflow of the fans was going).

I had to file the chassis profiles to make some clearance for the AquaCoil radiator.

Idem (other side).

Swiftech MCW462 with modded 1/4" nipples & 15mm copper tube.
I removed the original swiveling connectors from the Swiftech and replaced them by standard brass 1/4" male to 1/4" male nipples. Since they only had an ID of 6mm (1/4") I drilled them to 10mm (3/8") internally.
Onto these nipples I soldered a 90° turn of 15mm copper tube.

The LED's on the front panel. I will have to use a second blind 3.5" alu plate because I forgot the red plexi window for the InfraRed-transmitter-receiver...

Inside of the relay for the waterpump.

Outside of the relay. The Molex connector is connected to the +12V voltage of the PSU so that the waterpump Is switched together with the PSU.
The little connector goes to the blue LED on the front panel and indicates if the pump is running. The LED is powered by the AC voltage of the pump, not the 12V of the PSU. (See my thread http://www.icronticforums.com/showth...&highlight=LED )

This relay will be fixed to the right of the 3.5" bays. The switch connects the pump to the AC line even with the PSU powered off (for leaktesting etc.)

What misses is the inline-T-sensor for measuring the watertemperature (under construction) based on a Eheim 12/16mm plastic T.
Also missing is my electronic flowmeter (ordered).
The SwissFlow 800 sensor gives 6000 pulses/liter (so is basically calibrated for liter/min) and connects directly to the mobo like a standard fan with RPM monitoring.
(see http://www.swissflow.com )
This part has the smallest ID (8.5mm), but following Joe from http://www.procooling.com (who bought two of them) the SwissFlow 800 opposes as much as no resistance to waterflow.

EDIT: I tested everything (PSU, pump and fans), guys what a SILENCE !!! (compared to my actual Supermicro SC-760 with Swiftech and Delta 80HP, and 8 case fans)
