  1. Take the screw to your local hardware store (ACE, Home Depot, etc.) and match the length of the shank and thread pitch to one of the ones they have in their hardware stock, grab as many as you need. Prolly spend 5 bucks or so on hardware but you don't have to wait for shipping.
  2. One thing I like about having neutral colored cables is I can dick around with the RGB and it mostly looks all good.
  3. Upgraded to a 9900k I've had laying around for a couple weeks and redid a few tube runs.
  4. https://www.amazon.com/Bitspower-Adjustable-Aqua-22-31mm-Blood/dp/B00AGU2WWI?th=1 Try something like this. I've used them to bridge difficult oddly measured gaps before.
  5. Thank you, I'm a fan of the simpler layout myself. What do you mean by custom harness?
  6. A project I call the Green Monster. Specs are as follows: 8700k 32GB 3200MHz Dominator Platinum MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming 2x RTX 2080Ti FE Bunch of SSDs All shoved into a Singularity Computers Spectre gen 1 case.
  7. The manifold screws starting coming loose at the bottom, which let fluid leak between the layers of acrylic. So a complete disassembly, cleaning and reassembly was in order. I went ahead and did a lot of maintenance to it, upgraded to an MSI Z370 Godlike mobo, changed the tube routes again, and ditched the RAM block for some Dominator Platinums. Also decided to ditch the black coolant and go with Koolance UV green, which reacts quite well with purple backlighting on the manifold. My daughter takes over the battlestation regularly. Cat Tax
  8. So I've been hoarding parts since January when I preordered the Singularity Cases Spectre case. Got it a week ago or so and immediately threw everything into it over the course of four days, so apologies for no lead time. Parts: 8700k w/ EK Spupremacy Nickel block NZXT N7 Z370 (I know already, please stop chastising me about the stupid mobo) Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti w/EK Vector RGB block EVGA 1000W Supernova P2 PSU w/ custom cables by MainFrame Customs 2x WD Black m.2 500GB SSD 3x Mushkin Reactor 1TB 2.5" SSD Singularity Computers Spectre case in black, Protium pump/res combo Mayhems X1 Black coolant Bitspower plated brass tubing, 16mm Assload of fittings by Monsoon, Touchaqua, Barrow, and Bitspower 6x In Win Polaris Aluminum RGB 120mm fans installed on 2x EK 360mm thin rads The pile of parts, waiting only on the case and GPU to come in. Welp there's one of em. The block and backplate had been sitting in my office for over a week waiting for the stupid thing. And then the Spectre came in. I did a livestream of the unboxing in a Facebook PC building group so I don't have pics of the packaging, but it was well packed and annoying. Here's a pic of the custom engraving they did with a design I sent them. And so I started building. Time to pressure test these looopty loops I used this doohicky. Worked pretty well for a decay test after I disassembled it and fixed all the leaks in the device itself. The end result was this. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I spent my PC building budget for the next three years though, so no more new PCs for me for awhile.
  9. Mine too. Dunno why it took two weeks to make it from Cairns to Brisbane... but anyway, I hope this hurricane doesn't ruin it for me.
  10. Still no update from ups, just shows shipment is ready. Guess it still hasn't hit the states yet.
  11. I got my shipping notification this morning. Itll probably arrive while I'm on vacation next week
  12. Got the same email as well as an offer for a free Aquaero LT 6 mount. Dunno that I'll ever install one of those, but why not?
  13. At least one dude has received his Spectre. Check out James Builds a PC on YouTube, he did an unboxing. Interesting to note that they followed through on the custom engraving on the reservoir acrylic for the first 20 orders. Poor guy got the case too late though and is trying to sell it I think, having already started his build in a lian li case.
