To put it simply if you want to custom water cool and this is your first time and you know next to nothing you should either go with a kit that has everything such as those provided by EK Waterblocks. This way you have all you need for a certain amount and you can remain below that $500 buck threshold. OR You part out all the pieces yourself. Performanc-PCs.com will be a great store for this. What you'll need: Pump D5 or DDC Reservoir (you can go without, but I recommend it) Radiator -- choose one that fits your case but will also provide enough cooling: 240mm or 280 or maybe even a 360mm if it fits in your case. Tubing -- the inner and outer diameter of the tubing must correspond to the fittings so keep this in mind otherwise you'll have tubing that won't fit the fittings properly. Fittings -- if you are only doing a CPU loop, at a minimum, you need 6. Fittings can cost from 3-6 bucks per fitting depending on type and brand. If you need extra fittings for angles and drain ports, those will cost more. A good drain port can be 15 bucks. Fluid Fill bottle (or just get a funnel) Paper Towels Misc. supplies I didn't mention. Essentially do your research there is a lot of information to be found regarding custom water cooling. This method of cooling isn't the cheapest and as someone said, an AIO might be the way to go, but if you do want a custom loop, seriously check out EKWB's fluid gaming (aluminum line of custom loops) line for less expensive products or EKWB's other complete kits that use copper. There are a lot of other companies as well that are worth note: Primo Chill, AlphaCool, Mayhems, BitsPower, XSPC, and more.

Enermax NeoChanger RGB Pump and Reservoir
Sedare replied to Sedare's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Yeah, this is a concern of mine too, especially if the reservoir can't be taken out for a smaller or larger one depending on your needs. -

I recently got Enermax's Neochanger Pump/Res combo. It's a nice piece of equipment. The colors are brilliant and best of all you don't need an RGB header on your mobo to take advantage of the lighting and some of the effects. Obviously you'd have better control with an RGB header so you could use motherboard software such as ASUS' Aura Sync, but if you have an older board, the remote control included will serve you fine. I did an unboxing and semi-review video (more like observations as I don't have a build to put the pump/res in at the moment), so if you want to check it out, feel free. Has anyone used this product in a build before? What are your thoughts? Enermax has been around for quite a while and I remember buying a case way back in 2003 for my very first PC build. Thanks.

which is the standing stick one? Is that the one with the adjustable clamp and a long "pipe" like thing they slide up and down on? Yeah, I'm either going to plunk down the cash for an MNPCTech support bracket, use a pencil painted black. or try and figure something else out.
-
I think the new one does. I didn't get one with the 970.
-
I know. It's why I attend to it in the video. The Galax GTX 970 HOF is 2.5 PCI slots and heavy as hell. In addition to typing here, I'm looking at bracket support options . . . instead of working.

lol yes, if you watch the video, it almost looks like that was about to happen a few times as I was adjusting the tool to get a better angle. @Zando Bob, I more or less did this free-hand, BUT the Carbide 500R panel had a mesh and a lip holding it in place on the backside (you can see it clearly in the video), so the panel itself more or less gave me a template to work with. Instead of cutting down, I just cut the lipped section off at an angle as best I could. I have watched video from Nvidia Garage by one of the modders from Scrapyard wars . . . I want to say season 3, and he shows how to do a window mod using a template . . . and a lot more power tools. And yep, been living in nebraska for 12 years now. Hence the inspiration for my YT channel's name, Middle of Knowhere . . . You can't get much more middle in the states than here.

Thanks! Using the Dremel is not the easiest thing, especially with the cord sometimes getting in the way, but It went really well overall. The glass panel I got is super clear..

Over the weekend I did a minor case mod to my Corsair Carbide 500R and made a window. I even had a tempered glass pane instead of acrylic. It was fun and it came out really clean. I made a video on the entire process as well. I think I'm going to make a small PSU shroud next as well as get something for the GPU sag. I'm exploring DIY GPU sag solutions before spending money on a bracket. I'm going to expand my modding projects in the future as time allows.

I would want the Razer Blade Stealth with the 4k Adobe certified screen so I could really do some graphic design with gusto and if I wanted to game, plug it into the core. I'd love to share this with my son and get some beginner architecture programs as he's very interested in becoming an architect. Congratulations on the 3,000,000 subscribers!

This is actually pretty sweet. I could totally do an outdoor movie night with the family as our garage door is all white and fairly seamless when closed. I like that it's compact and that you wouldn't have to mount it on a ceiling.

Then the only thing left would be to modernize the front ports to USB 3, 3.1 or C

That's a good idea. Does it has standard ATX standoffs and all that jazz?

Not sure if this is news, but it seems to be an interesting/cool topic: Customized Keyboard Caps. As found here: http://nerdist.com/the-nerdy-keyboard-keys-of-your-dreams-are-here/ Here's the website to the products: http://www.geekkeys.com/metal-keycaps/ These things are not cheap with some keys going for over 40 bucks USD and that's for a single key!
