My son is a die hard WoW raider, (and Razer fan), and came to me and said I'm ready for a full blown custom looped build with the best hardware I can get with my bonus money, and I said, "Well, okay then!"
So we took a Thermaltake F31 and put a bunch of good stuff in it and made it basically blacked out with green accents. The back wall of the F31 is an ugly hot mess when you remove all the cages so we used black vinyl skinned acrylic to clean it up. The loop is the EK Fluid Gaming and I'm so impressed with it I may never go back to copper again. We were able to get the 8700k to 5.0 but it took all of 1.4v and the extra heat didn't warrant the the extra Hz so it is 4.8 24/7, but not delidded either. Main thing, he is happy, and we plan to add some acrylic "accents" to it at some point, but time always gets away from you with these builds.

Build Updates
Razer for life!
Been a while since I updated this, but new Razer periphs really make the setup pop even more! This is probably the #2 favorite build I've ever done and he still enjoys it like crazy.
Tried to get him to let me do hard tube but he loves like it is. Guess I should just be proud.
Minor upgrades to loop
Put in taller res and EK Neon Green. Wish I had a couple of more angled fittings but he likes it and that's all that matters.
