Redbox

Aside from GGF Events on Youtube, this is the first custom watercooled build inside the NZXT H200i! I'm pretty proud of that, but it wasn't easy to achieve as there were SO many parts to cram inside of such a small box. And that's where I got the name "Redbox"! It reminded me of the beloved movie rental station that I may have actually used once, lol! Thanks to the fact that the custom gigabyte card was actually pretty small after replacing the heatsink with an EK Thermosphere block and modding (cutting) the backplate, I was able to fit it inside next to a pretty standard EK Pump/Res combo which fit perfectly inside that strange, but sleek looking, colored metal ribbon piece that NZXT is known for. I built it with hardline tubing, but the stuff I used from Bitspower must have been pretty old and mostly acrylic because it was thin and it cracked whenever I cut it. So I cheated first time around by running a soft tube from the cpu block around the top and to the backside port on the radiator. I went back some time later and redid the loop with some nice Thermaltake PETG, 100% hardline and with some red fluid it looked great! Now, unfortunately I had to tear it down eventually and sell off the parts, but I have another PC project in the works that should be ten times better! I actually had another for a while, the successor to Redbox, but I wasn't really pleased with how that turned out. I wanted to share Redbox since it is my favorite build to date, very proud, enjoy the pics!!!
