Banchetto MbK

[Kier]

Hi my fellow modding forum friends,

My name is Kier and I want to share with you a nice build with the beautiful test benches from Microcool. I hope you don't mind but I will write this in English...
Because my Italian writing sucks, sorry for this

First I want to thank a number of people who make it possible for making this build.

Big thanks goes out to Bernice from Gigabyte



Also respect and big thanks to Vincent and Lily from Bitspower



Freddy Thanks for the sponsorship... Highflow: my favorite pc cooling and mod shop



And for this build, I have access to a number of testbenches from Microcool. Federico from the Italian brand MicroCool has made this possible, so thanks for this Federico.



MicroCool has about 3 beautiful benches marketed with names Banchetto K, Banchetto 101 and 103. Which are great Italian designs as shown below in the pictures.

The Banchetto K











Also for the Test benches I have made some unboxing vids.



For this build I'm also going to use a Banchetto 101

Pictures from the Banchetto 103









The unboxing vid:



After some brainstorming to see how I can merge these two benches. I have the idea is too make different layers of acrylic to stack it all up.

Here I have cut some acrylic same size with the shapes of the original K and 101.





Because Gigabyte provided me a very nice Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3 (more info on this later) the color will be black and green in this build.







In order to enter the height, and the layers acrylic to be applied, I have used the parts of the 101.







Because I want a good view at the hardware and apply nice ideas with rigid tubing I have placed the mobo tray in an angle.







That's it for this update, but more very soon

I already have quite a few pictures with some progress to show, so selected a nice collection for this update

In this build I'm going to place (at least) 2 x 240 rad applied with Nanoxia fans. And will put them between the acrylic layers.

Drawn some holes and stuff on one acrylic layer and went to work with my jigsaw.



After the sawing and filing, the result...



Placed the radiators and fans.







Installed it again to see how it looks.







Enough space for the air in/out



Now this looks good, removed the tape and cleaned the plate.



Made it black (glossy vinyl).





And the whole unit.



For the green and black color combo I came to the idea to use 6mm UV green strips between the horizontal plates. So cut and bent the strips.





With this kind of green I always like the frosted looks the best. And I think this is a great match with the green of the Gigabyte motherboard, So picked up my sandpaper and go to work again.



But it's taking too long



Need more frosting but just to let you see how it will look like.





Luckily I have at some great machines to work with... glass blasters.
This is making it a lot easier.





After some blasting....



The strips totally frosted.



More about this later.

Thanks to Gigabyte this Bench will become a monster rig. because they've provided me with 2x Gigabyte Titan Black: GV-NTITANBLKD5-6GD-B
Was not expecting this, so caused a moment of silence and admiration when looking and testing these beauty's.



Exhibited and tested on a different setup







Last but not least, a nice picture from the rig with frosted strips.



More coming up!!!

Update!!!









Last time I mounted the reservoirs with the modkits. For the next step I made ​​an acrylic plate where the flow sensor and input from the reservoirs goes through.

For this I've used the Bitspower flow indicators (BP-FI-CLBKMBK)





And mounted them like this:







Also in this build NO bending, so I've chosen for a big amount of Bitspower Enhance 90-Degree Dual Multi-Link Adapter





Connected everything



The CPU block I've chosen is the Bitspower CPU Block Summit EF (BP-WBCPUIAC-CUMBKCL)





And also here I have made an acrylic plate made ​​for the rigid tubing for the GPU and the CPU.





Which will look like this





Placed the 2e GPU









Backside will be like this



Again used the 90 degrees adapters, but also the 30 graden adapters (BP-MBE30DML) to get the perfect angle.







To connect al of this... another acrylic strip.



With fillports (BP-MBWP-C04)
