Heroes of this build:

A monitor (TV in total), but still a monitor - LG OLED 55CX3LA

(I did not think about this element for long. OLED just charmed me No typical computer monitor will show everything like OLED. Unless the OLED monitor ;) )

Case - Thermaltake The Tower 900 black

(initially it was supposed to be Fractal Define 7XL, but when I found TT, I said I wanted the big one )

Power supply - Seasonic Prime Gold 1000W

(that's enough, in my opinion, for the whole thing including RTX 3090. Titanium wasn't just there, but I wanted to get it, so I bought Gold)

Motherboard - ROG ASUS MAXIMUS XII Extreme

(Here, too, Asus Maximus XII Formula was supposed to be here first, but on reflection, I added some € and bought this one. I still got the promotion of Asus and I will get 150 € back)

Processor - Intel i9 10900K

(There could only be one choice. I have nothing to do with AMD, even once I "sat" on Duron or Sempron, I do not remember. But here is supposed to be Intel ;) )

Memory - 4 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro cl16

(neither is it high end, nor is it a niche product, but I think it's just right)

SSDs Samsung (mechanics not assembled) - 1 x 980 pro 500GB, 1 x 970 pro 512GB, 1 x 860 Evo 4TB, 1 x 870 Evo 4TB

(I removed 970 pro from my laptop - there went 970 evo plus, after some thought I bought 980 pro to take two sockets under the cover of the motherboard)

Graphic card - ROG Asus Strix OC RTX 3090 24GB VRAM

(long-awaited card - more than 1.5 months has finally arrived at my place.I have paid more than about 170 € from an earlier order at amazon.nl, but I am really happy with it. The Asus class in itself)

CPU cooling - Noctua NH-D15 Chromax

(temporary cooling until all the water cooling is built up, and also to test individual components before I start to disassemble the graphics)

While I was quite enthusiastic about tube bending, I was not very happy with the bending itself. There are a lot of guides on the internet on how to do it, but I guess I'm impatient (because I try to be accurate). So summa summarum came out as it came out. I didn't like the end result anyway and I ordered Mayhems glass tubes. I will replace the capacitor after the correction on the graphics. I will put them in places that are in view. The pump outlets are hidden low, so there will be acrylics. Generally, for the first time in my life made water cooling, I am satisfied. The whole thing still needs small corrections (sleeve cables, cable arrangement).
