Thunderstorm

This is my first high-end build with a custom water loop. I chose this case because I love the tempered glass aesthetic and I knew everything would have to come out perfectly since it is completely see through. I knew I wanted to incorporate blue into the liquid for the build and went from there. I developed a color scheme of black and blue and finished it off with the CableMod White/Blue sleeve kit to add some white accents and match the white LEDs that are stock on the Corsair 570X case.

I watched a LOT of JayzTwoCents videos and built up enough courage to go ahead and try a custom water loop with rigid tubing myself. It was pretty nerve racking flipping the power supply switch on the first time with paper towels stuffed between every fitting, but after 15 minutes of it running without any leaks, I was so relieved.

Hope you enjoy this build as much as I do!
