Hello all! Here is my custom Antec Striker that I've been working on for about a year. The case was cut by yours truly to fit two radiators on the rear panel and was powdercoated glossy white by a local shop. My goal was to build something unique and sleek and ultimately I feel I achieved that. Hopefully even if the build isn't your style you can at least recognize the passion and effort I put into it! I've been building computers since I was 16 and will continue to expand my passion and maybe make it a side hustle some day
The desk is an ikea countertop 72x24 on top of the ikea drawers. It feels cramped so one day I'll mount the mora somewhere else out of sight. The OLED monitor is a must have for any high end setup, I think out of every piece of tech I've bought, it is the single coolest and most worth it thing!
The sleeved tubing is achieved by MDPCX sleeve, 10/15 tubing from McMaster Carr, and 10/16 fittings. And special note, the panel on the back physically cannot fit two full width radiators, so at least one of them must be slim (ie a Corsair or HWLabs L series).
I tried my best to add all the relevant parts to the part list, feel free to let me know if I'm missing anything. Thanks for checking my build out

Build Updates
CPU Block Rebuild
I fell in love with the moddingcafe tubeless CPU when I saw it for the first time and I knew I needed it. Luckily, I have one now! Expensive but dope as hell. Also took a chance to do a general rebuild. Notes:
New CPU block (obviously)
12vhpwr cable swap
Removed the third radiator to make way for RGB devices, to accommodate for the CPU "backpack" in the middle of the chassis (lowkey upset I had to do this. Would love suggestions on how/where to mount and cable manage my RGB controllers)
I would also love suggestions for a mount for my pump/res. My Corsair XD5 doesn't directly mount to the case or the pump adapter the case comes with.
