Gold and silver water cooled computer

Desbreko

So started with the motherboard being mix gold and silver already. Figured I stick with that and my guy just got me pictures back of plate job he was doing of taking part of the cpu block to be plated gold and this is the finish of that. Anyone else like to comment or offer suggestions like if i should plate the raditor gold also?

Yes going to use hard arcylic piping with a triple 120 rad, 250 mm t-virus red uv blue, bits power gtx titan water block, the uber pump from performance pcs. I even sent the panel away to performance pcs to have them put a full bolt in arcylic window from a nzxt 820 phantom case. The fittings we be nickel plate with a quick shutoff and place that I can change out the liquid easy enough. I'm still waiting for the t-virus res from frozenq before I buy the fittings and piping. My original idea was to do real metal pipes and get them plate gold but it was hard to find the right fittings that I like in a color that seem decent a to plate the one piece in real gold cost $200. I had first plan to plate the center with the swifttech logo but in taking it apart come to find its plastic and not metal.

I thought I make update because of my difficult with FrozenQ lack of communication after trying to contact them more then once. So I went to trustedperformance-pcs. Order it yesterday and was ship today to my door, but the theory what can go wrong will go wrong is the part that hold the uv blue helix in place broke off and it's not secure and I piece of plastic just floating in the tube. Have to rma or something but I wonder if I'm I the place to feel justified to be upset I order this part twice. Once from original makers FrozenQ on the 6th of May and still not had it ship to me yet and then second time from performance-pcs, and have be damage by fedex shipping. I wanted what other people's story been in this situation and is FrozenQ know for bad customer service? Snyder here is picture of res before I rma it for replacement or refund.

Update on the side panal I had sent to put in a full window put in and was sent pictures from Jeremy to me a couple of days ago. Figure I show it off that this project is slowly coming together. Seeing if someone can do a dustcover for my motherboard with LEDs added in next.
