Mk 2

Decided to water cool my rig. Went straight into the deep end, small case and acrylic. Tried to use a hair dryer, doesnt work, then boiling water, doesnt work. Looked up acrylic melting temp then drove to home depot to get a $23 heat gun. Worked great.
Bends and angles are not perfect, was 1st time doing such a thing. Wanted the pump up front but there was no space, the zotac rtx 2080 ti amp is quite long.
Water cooling a locked 8700, are you dumb? Maybe. But in the future I will add a block to the GPU, so for now it's just for looks.

Pardon the horrible part from the CPU back to the res. Could not get a 90 up and 90 left that close to work no matter what, so on my last stick of tube I decided to do what's in the pic :)

Originally wanted the rad up top but that little thing in the front where the front i/o is wouldnt allow it. Managed to squeeze it up front. It was a tight fit.

Update: paint the fittings and reservoir lid white ;) thinking bout painting the pump aswell. Maybe rad sides.
