I was pretty content with my previous build but something that I knew I was going to do at some point was move the components into a bigger case once I found one that was aesthetically pleasing so I could have a normal-sized pump-res and another radiator. The 5000 series from Corsair matched what I wanted technically but it was still a box at the end of the day. Then I saw reviews for Fractal Design's Torrent showing up online. I was a bit skeptical at first due to the PSU being housed in the top part of the case but the more I looked into it and how well it was being reviewed, I fell in love it from the radiator support, the cable management capabilities, and the striking grill on the front.

This also gave me an opportunity to do another custom loop and improve from my last build. I certainly feel I'm better at it now as well as planning out my runs. Doing 2 bends on a piece is something I'm more comfortable doing now but would still like advice from more experienced tube benders on how they get the length right.

At the end of the day, I'm very happy with how it all came together.
