Caselabs Mercury S5
I thought I'd share my first attempt at hardline watercooling.
I always wanted to build into a CaseLabs case at least once and I really like the layout with a horizontal motherboard tray. So after a couple of builds with soft tubing, I decided that a CaseLabs Mercury S5 case is going to be the case for my first attempt with hardline tubing.
I have slightly modded the case the fit a second 360 radiator in the hard drive area of the case. I have been trying to find a side panel with ventilation for the case (obviously at the moment the rad can't really breath), but without much success so far. I might have to embark on modding the right side panel with ventilation at some point. I still think that the rad looks better than the pretty empty hard drive area![Emoji]()
The hardware isn't the newest anymore and I know that the build still needs custom cables, but I think it is still a nice looking build at this point.
