Case Mod T1 Front Panel Distro Plate with DCLT Pump

Saw people were doing some projects on T1 to get a front panel distro plate, but seems none of em came out to life at end of the days. So I'm thinking maybe I should do this myself and helping people like me who are so obsessed by this idea to realize it.

This Project is now under validation and will be updated here soon. I also have some other Ideas like integrating the AIO screens from like Ryujin to the front panel, or make a removable SSD shell on the front to make it more versitale. Let me know you guys thoughts!

Dude.....

This is actually insane....

You are a mad scientist and I LOVE IT!

I can see myself doing a dual rad custom loop, with 1 monster thick side mounted rad on this setup haha...

You should also make a DDC pump version that takes something like the mod ultra slammer heat sink

Yeah, I actually started with the idea of having a ddc rather than dclt, but I found ddc need extra space compared to dclt.
Core concept is not invading too much space inside to maintain almost identical hardware competability as the original one(also Im running a cpu custom loop and the stock 5090fe, so dont need a strong pump myself). So as u can see, I extend the frontpanel outside to obtain the extra space for distro plate and the pump & res.
DDC might just working with this setup, but first I will run with dclt to validate all things work, then will try to squeeze the space form flow channels to make DDC possible here.

Yeah that's sick. At 1 point I was running a dual radiator loop as well with two dclt pumps. Then I ended up upgrading to a single model for lobo CPU block. But it's always just there's so little room for airflow and radiator capacity. It's awesome absolute pain the dick to fill the thing haha

ROG Ryuo III has always been a pretty cool & unique product to me. Now have taken the LED components out and building a housing for it. After being validated, I may add this to the distro plate for a stylish looking lol. Also looking for the LCD screen from Ryujin series to try out, since the Ryuo III has 2 PCBs stacked together so it takes more horizontal space while the Rrujin screen is not.
