    This thread has some good taste. Heres my latest build.

    Nice work with the acrylic, that is something that I want to try my hand at soon. 
    I'm surprised you're running clear fluid!

      I have redesigned and bent my hard lines 3 times now due to hardware changes. It looks easy but because I'm a perfectionist it is seriously the worst thing ever. And distilled water with biocide is the only way to go. I can easily see when the water needs to be changed and it doesn't stain my acrylic like everything else would.

        please tell me that you could put beer in a coolant system like that.

        i want to tell people my computer is cooled by spotted cow.

        Unfortunately beer would definitely not work for a couple of reasons. Carbonation pressure, foaming, perishable, and the yeast would make for some nasty bacteria growth. Jack Daniel's on the other hand might just get the job done...

          I'm too much of a puss to do my own custom loop. More because I can scream at NZXT if my AIO cooler fails and leaks everywhere, then they'll buy me a new GPU

            On first startup of my previous loop I rushed install, blew the line going from the pump, and before I could power down it drained the entire reservoir directly into the running power supply. Still works great to this day because it was pure deionized water. if you can maintain a BMW, custom loops are a cake walk.

                      almost forget to post mine. this was my christmas present to myself this year. got good deals around the holidays, so I probably built the system for about $300 less than normal prices. Rekpoint gave some good advise to help me since it was my first time. i had a general understanding of computers (i've replaced individual components, installed windows from scratch, etc) so it was straightforward.

                      • Phanteks Eclipse 400S case
                      • ASRock z270 MB
                      • Core i5 7600k, OC'd to 4.4
                      • Samsung evo 500gb SSD
                      • 16GB 3000mhz RAM
                      • GeForce 1050ti GPU, OC'd some amount
                      • Cooler Master 240mm AIO

                      I don't really care about the LED lighting, but it all came with the case/MB so there it is. The weak point is the GPU, because I couldn't bring myself to spend $400-600 for a better one.

                      The radiator is pulling fresh air from the front of the case. Some research showed that with open air GPUs, this is the best setup for keeping case temps lower.
