Thunderwalruses are GO!

After 3 days of leak hunting I finally fixed them all yesterday. The 3 first ones were easy to find and fix but he last one was a sneaky bastard. That one was in the CPU block intake. Took one day to trace it and another to wait and see if I got it fixed. I didn't. Turns out that the tube incoming from the pump was twisted while I connected it to the pump (CPU block was already connected) and it made the inlet barb turn loose. Not much but enough to leak 5cl/8hours. I twisted the tube so that it will tighthen the barb and found all leaks sealed this morning.

So I did a bit of cable management and built the bottom of the case.

Today I hooked all the power up and cut the back panel so that I can fit the monitor cable and mouse + keyboard in.

..and has some nice temperatures too. CPU & VGA are ambient temperature, the HDD is water temperature in the tank and CASE is the exhaust air temperature.

Temp sensor in watertank. There was a handy hole in the cap I believe just for this.
