this is why i really like all the quick disconnects for the tubing and the rad. it is now so easy for me to disconnect them and do something inside the case without having to drain and refill the water cooling system. it's just so easy now and so worth it
removed some of the front foam from...
was very fortunate to get a vega fe new for $500, got this locally. this was new but no box as it was oem.
i was waiting for some good deals at ebay everyday since i got the cpu + mobo but the prices are still a little too high for me

so unfortunately, i have built everything so far and it looks okay but i was not so happy with it. the hot swap drive bay was a little noisy even at low fan speed so that's a no. and the lian li case, it's a little too old for me and a bit disappointing. i want something better at cable...

and finally some new faceplat for the 5.25 dual bay reservoir

what i learned from my previous water cooling build was that everytime you need to remove, change, adjust something in your system that involves the major parts, you have to bring the whole system down, drain it before you can remove or add something to it, usually takes a couple of hours but...
case parts, pass through cable, compression fittings and waterblock have arrived
was thinking of getting an ek waterblock for X399 Aorus 7 that extends through the vrms but the looks didn't really appeal to me so i decided to get a heatkilller IV. i think this is one of the best looking and...
been a little busy from building this little thing but here are some updates
mobo, cpu, ram
was lucky enough that most of the accessories are still in the box (io shield, wifi antenna, rgb extension...)
motherboard still looks new and lightly used but apparently not so lightly used...
Alright some updates, i have received my new case, Fractal Focus G, and transferred my old build into it so i can work on the Lian Li case.
My ultimate goal is to eliminate as much cables as possible and make maintenance as easy as possible.
New case here. Have already removed all water...
