Hello, So im looking to make my first custom water loop. I want to make a loop now because my current AIO corsair loop is about 4 years old and i want to change it out. I was looking at many different option, like corsair, ekwb, and thermaltake etc. Here is info on my current pc parts wise: CPU i7 5820k Motherboard AsRock x99 extreme4 RAM 16gb (4x4gb) GPU gtx 980ti zotac amp Case NZXT Phantom Windowed Edition Black Storage 1 tb 860 evo ssd, crucial 456 ssd, 1 tb hdd PSU 750 watt corsair I also want to try water cooling now because I plan on upgrading to a ryzen gen 4 when they release in September and rtx 3080/3080ti. I plan to only water cool my cpu now because I don't want to waste money on a gpu water block. Also i want to make my own loop now so I feel confident in doing it after I upgrade. So, with that being said here is what i was thinking. I think im going to get this case, EK-Classic InWin 303EK. I want a case with a reservoir block and i haven't found any other this cheap. I know i could buy a case like the lian-li and put the water distribution block in the front, but that ends up being like and extra 150$. I was then going to buy fittings and a water block with soft tubing. I am not 100% confident in what i have to check to make sure that water cooling components are the same material. like can i have a nickle-plated fitting with a copper cpu water block, etc ??? Any advice into what to look at would be appreciated, i also im uncertain in how many fittings i should get etc. Lastly, Just curious, if i had a leak and my gpu or cpu died, im i just out that money or do manufactures or would ekwb cover that ? I assume im out the money. Oh i forgot to say, are there any reviews on the EK-Classic InWin 303EK, i could not find any on youtube? I was looking a little more at the case, would soft tubing be fine, or would that not be ideal with the locations of the ports and there distance from the components. I am also open to using other cases and a regular cylinder reservoir, however link the case you think Looks good if you recommend this.

here are a few i found on my own https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-NS-SP1800BL-5-1-Channel-Theater-Speaker/dp/B001AVRD62/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1532388312&sr=8-4&keywords=surround+5.1 https://www.amazon.com/BFS-500-Channel-Surround-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B01N0XU319/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1532388312&sr=8-15&keywords=surround+5.1 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/befree-sound-5-1-channel-speaker-system-black-blue/4723506.p?skuId=4723506 there is no receiver with the yamaha and i am new to audio setups so i assume it needs a compatible receiver

I am trying to pick the best audio option for my projector setup. My bedroom is a furnished basement and the walls are very far apart with so i dont know how good a soundbar would do. I am trying to keep my budget around 150$ and i prefer a 5.1 channel setup with a receiver included. I am not sure if there is a lot at that price point but i will mainly watch shows or movies so a nice sounding sub would be nice. basically i want nice audio with a subwoofer

i am looking for speakers around $50(USD) maybe $100(USD) or some where around those price points that give good audio with a decent bass. an example of what i have seen on amazon is this https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-Computer-Multimedia-CA-3602FFP/dp/B00BXF5HQ8/ref=sr_1_23?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1484686176&sr=1-23&keywords=speakers what are your recommendations link the product too plz

Hey guys I'm looking into getting a new pay that is fully modular and I was wondering what's the best out there for the price . I am willing to spend more if the quality justifies the cost. looking for a 650 to 750 watt psu and should I use cable mods or are there better sites for moded cables

Hey guys I currently have a blue yeti use microphone and was looking for an audio compressor to make the audio not so loud or quiet any suggestions thanks

make sure it also has bluetooth

i want something like this i was just wondering if there is anything better for same or lower cost http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GC-WB867D-I-Bluetooth-Frequency-Compatible/dp/B019JH89YI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461619699&sr=8-1&keywords=wireless%2Fbluetooth+card

i move my pc upstairs to play my htc vive

I am getting a sound card or sound external amp i am also getting a wireless pice 1x slot network and Bluetooth card I can be 16x lastly I am getting and audio technica at2020 xlr mic what's the best xlr audio interface to make the mic go from xlr to my computer if u have any recommendation post here and link the product

they told me that they put a hold on the card to verify funds then they take the hold off until the unit is given a shipment number. the supervisor over the phone also stated i will get my tracking info no later then sunday and if for some reason i dont get the tracking info tomorrow or sunday that i should call again. im in the US and i ordered within a few minutes of launch. chances are you will get tracking info by sunday.

Yeah but like if my company had a big launch for a product they would see how many the warehouse ships a day and let you know how much longer or at least give more info on the item lookup And no im no saying i cant wait i do care at all about that but if a company says we are shipping the device april 5th and they dont just give out better info on when the orders should be out by, i mean the shipping was 30$, again i dont care about waiting if they told me today it was coming april 25th i would be bummed but at least i would wake up wondering if today was the day. The card thing does cause a delay your 100% right but once fixed my order should be back to normal

So i emailed htc and called them originally i got the processing email like this one http://imgur.com/a/wviOF then they tried to charge me for my vive pre-order but my card was an old one that recently expired so they cancelled the order by default i contacted tha support via telephone and they made a new order for me, and i was told my order was still the same spot in line a.k.a i will get my vive the same day i was originally going to get it. then i found out the vives are being delivered april 5th, yeah ill get my vive 2 days sooner then expected.Hold up they didn't email me shipping info so i tweeted at them they replied saying vives are being shipped daily throughout april and that mine will be shipped soon. So im not very mad but am still quite upset. Why you ask well i pre-ordered the vive expecting it to ship on april 5th like most pre-orders the shipping day is the release day and the fact that they can't even give me an estimate on when it will arrive is so frustrating. For the whole month of april until my vive ships i will be kinda irritated. why can't releases be smoother. who else is fed up with the way htc handled the launch. reply with any stories of your pre-order experience with vive

can i litterally just mount it with extra long screws since im not using any pcie cards
