    My new and second custom loop, since last time in early 2000:
    9700k @ 5.0GHz 1.330V Asus Z390-E Gaming EK D5 pump & res EK 360 fat radiator Heatkiller 4 Arrow fittings A ball valve for draining Old GTX980 Also some videos:
     
    Photos are first of how the tubes and fittings get together, then everything assembled and final liquid in, and finally with RGB somewhat set up with Aura:

    These are great laptops, having a 5100 myself with a 90MHz pentium, 24MB RAM and a 4GB CF card as hard disk. It is especially good for DOS gaming, because the integrated ESS sound chip is known to be extremely compatible with Sound Blaster Pro, and it contains even a very decent clone of Yamaha OPL3 or "Adlib". The color display, while quite small, is active TFT so it quite useable for games while being rather small though (12" and sometimes quite large black borders top of that.) These laptops don't support CD-ROM booting so if you have a working Windows 95-98 on the hard drive it it would make sense to take good care of it (not break the installation) because it can be troublesome to reinstall if they don't come with a bootable floppy drive that can be swapped to the same slot where the cd-rom drive is.

    I have some 8-bit computers and other stuff, but this is my main "retro PC". It combines the best of my childhood in overall (which for me is around 1988 to 2000). Ability to run DOS programs and games from 4.77MHz XT and CGA graphics up to Windows 98 and 3DFX accelerated newer games. It's because Voodoo 3 and Pentium 3 were still so much backwards compatible. In photo there is a newer AGP card, but I removed it because it was terribly buggy with many dos games. Sound card is AWE32 with Yamaha OPL3 and Gravis Ultrasound, both for best compatibility with dos titles and AWE32 is very capable in Windows too. Sometimes I connect MT32 and Yamaha MU-80 external synthesizers.
