Purple Panorama

Hi, this is my first custom loop water cooled PC! I started buying one part each payday beginning May 2019 to keep it affordable, and began building it in the Spring of 2020. I used EKWB PETG rigid tubing in a loop that starts at the reservoir, then goes to the radiator, CPU, GPU, then back to the reservoir. The reservoir is from Radicult Customs on ebay, and the rest of the loop is all EKWB.

All cable sleeving was done by myself, and no extensions were used. Heat shrinks on cables were painted dark metallic gray to match the build. It has 32GB RAM and a 500GB M.2 SSD with a 4TB HDD. Everything sits inside of a Thermaltake View 37 case with a one-piece panoramic top and side window.

The most fun I had during this build was planning the loop and cable management! The most difficult part of the build was getting the tubing bends just right... and multiple trips to the hardware store for assorted screws, nuts, and washers. You can see this computer in action several times each week on Twitch! Search for falco_23!
