GREEN MOLECULE
Hello guys and welcome to my new build log and what will be my second mod project.
Some of you may know me from my previous build the Vault Boy which had the honor of being featured on the WAN show just this month, December 2014 
This build is more of an upgrade of my other system in a Fractal Design ARC Mini R2 in which I will be keeping most of the components as well as adding new ones and a lot of modding work to the case and other bits
Here is the build in it's current state or how it was a few days ago before a pretty major event happened and I had to take it apart sooner than I thought ...
This will be another colourful build in the same style as Vault Boy however no game theme this time. The colours will be white, green and bits of black as well as going with a molecule design in some places, hence the name Green Molecule
I still have a small update for Vault Boy in mind which would have nonetheless taken my a couple of days to do as it involved draining the loop and taking a few things out. The plan was to tackle it this past weekend though I did not expect something to happen to this system in the meantime ...
Saturday morning while I was still enjoying my sleep my partner wakes me up telling me there is a burning smell coming from the system, me thinking she's just making fun of me as she sometimes does, I choose to ignore her 
. However as she kept insisting and telling me that it's no joke I got up and went to the other room where the system was just to be greeted by this awful smell of burnt plastic and a couple of seconds later realising that the DDC pump had burned out.
The CPU was rocking 105C according to Real Temp but was still running fine. Not sure how long it's been like that, it was running the whole night as we stream movies to our bedroom from it and before I went to sleep it was fine. I immediately turned it off by just a normal shut down and there went my day as I decided to just dismantle the thing there and then.
The aftermath is shown in the following pics as I went ahead and took everything apart, cleaned it and installed the system on my desk to test everything. Fortunately everything was fine minus a burned out DDC pump . The little guys has been pumping my liquid pretty much 24 hours straight for the past two years and a bit and it decided it's had enough of the Queensland heat. Just when I was about to mount a heat sink on it along with the upgrade of the system
And let's start straight with the dirty stuff
As you can see the little guys burned out pretty good, I doubt I can salvage it with a new PCB from that DIYINHK site that still sell them
If I'm guessing right the fluid must have been boiling around the CPU area that caused the tube to fog up as well as deform a little bit to the touch. My partner may have woken me up just in time to save it. Not sure if the system would have shut itself off after a while or if the acrylic tube would of just melted but I think I'm lucky nothing further happened.
Here's the empty case and by the looks of things something funny happened to the label on that Corsair Force GT SSD.
And everything out on the table to be cleaned and inspected
You may also spot the new side panel that I have been working on the few days prior, finished it the night before.
Here's a better look at the side panel
The plan was to have more molecules but I managed to mess up the left side of it so decided to just make the window bigger. Still think it came out pretty good in the end, minus a few painting mess ups due to an unexpected storm that occurred as the paint was drying.
These are the molecule shapes I used as I am not good at drawing things 
A better look at the finished side panel as well as the very last pic of the system running
The side panel was fully crafted by me using a Dremel rotary tool, a jig saw and lots of filing
I was also playing around with this new Aquaero 5LT controller the night before. Installed the optional heatsink but didn't get to test it out.
Today I managed to get some work done on the planned case mods as well as painting
First I cut a small hole in the floor which I will use as a drain from the bottom outlet of the Alphacool Monsta 240mm rad that will be going in the front of the case.
Did a cut on the MB tray as well. I will be making a shroud for the bottom so I cut the bottom right corner of the MB tray as to better help with cable management at the back.
Had a bit of a blond moment here and did the initial cut higher than I wanted
However it doesn't make a difference as I will be having some white acrylic around the MB that will cover everything.
I then got the case ready for painting 
In this last pic you can see how the brushed aluminum aspect of the front panel looks after painting.
Some parts will be going green tomorrow while other will stay white.
The plan is to have the inside of the case white and the outside shell green like the side panel. Hopefully it will look good like I'm imagining it.
