Hi,
 
I finally finished my first custom loop. Basically it wasn't easy but enjoyed that work
 
Case - Fractal Design Meshify C
CPU - i7 8600K
GPU - EVGA SC2 GTX 1080Ti
RAM - 32GB Corsair Vengeance
WaterCoolig heart - EK equipment + bitspower fittings + 360 slim radiator + 3x Noctua NF-S12A
 
btw - workin on airbubbles and temperatures
 

Finished the build
Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic
P6T with X5680 OC'd to 4,2 gHz (watercooled NB+SB+VRM)
GTX 980ti
 

Will share my latest build here as there may been many who didn't not see the build log. I will be finishing another project this week and will post that as well once completed

This is my first watercooled build in the NZXT H700 (full parts list at bottom). Indeed it is my first pc build, if you discount the ones I helped with in 1995 when I was 4. 
I crammed a 60mm x 360mm radiator in the front in push-pull, and a regular 30mm x 360mm in the top, also in push-pull.
Frustratingly, push-pull clearance is not supported for any top rad unless you have clearance to have fans hanging down over your ram. The gSkill Trident-Z RGB's are 45mm tall, which may clear the fans here, but why even buy RGB ram if you can't see the damn thing. Your aesthetics go right out the window! In this build, the pull side of the fans on the top rad, outside of the case, protrude above the resting elevation of the top cover by 15mm (so the top cover is a no-go).
This was an after-the-fact addition. I'm sure the rad would have performed just fine with just nf-f12's in push, however the airflow in the case suffered and thus the performance suffered on the monster 360 in the front, and thus the performance of the whole loop suffered, and it makes for a cranky first-time builder. That's why I added Arctic F12's in pull on top.
The full-cover GPU blocks were bought at different times, and one was half-off, I assume because it was part of the last-gen phoenix modular-series thing that EK does (phoeniz MLC). I'm not buying a matching one for the nicer one!
 
Performance note: I was able to overclock my delidded 8700k to 5400MHz on four cores and 5300MHz on the remaining two. AVX offset -3.
Under non-avx Prime95, peak CPU core temps saturate to 75 C.
Under avx Prime95, peak CPU core temps saturate to 86 C. P sweet.
1080's dont get very hot under gaming loads, however I am a computer science student and I do quite a bit of long-run machine learning stuff. Under extended loads I will not see over 45 C on these cards.

My Asus X99-A motherboard died a week ago and is replaced with an Asus X99 Sabertooth. Not really much has changed on the loop except that I had to go back using my EK Supremacy EVO CPU block. Had to mount it with the logo upside down so I wouldn't have to switch the tubings going in the GPU on the bottomside. 
Also, replaced the Thermatake Riing fans for Corsair's LL120 and a new color mixed from Mayhem's UV ice blue and a little bit of laser green.

Finally received GPU block from Fluid gaming. I have 9700k and vega 64. It is a fluid gaming that started as an 240. purchased 2 360mm rads and a bunch of fittings. I used like 5 to get the side rad tubes where I could manage them. I am wanting to do hardline now but I am going to make myself wait for a little while. Maybe get the stuff to bend and practice since I want multiple 90s on each tube in liquidhaus style. 
Could use some custom extensions, another uv strip for the front. Sorry about green text I don't know why it did that.

Here's an update on how it looks now
 
 

Lots of craftsmanship goes into a quality table. Not even factoring in the aesthetic grooving and designs that are a commonplace in mid to high end tables, there are still elements of the design that have to be perfect. I'm not sure what the material is under the felt whether it's a single piece of wood or slate, but that has to be perfectly planed down flat, free of rises and dips. So just making a table to satisfy those tolerances will make it expensive. You could get plywood, some 2x4's, some bumpers, and green felt and make one yourself and see how much effort goes into a quality table.

Everything in this machine is either running good as new, overclocking good as new or both:

Its also kind of annoying that I can't upload bitmap as images. 6MB 1080p image courtesy of my 16MB Riva TNT2 Vanta, instead of 94KB jpeg.

Edit: Important note, the Vanta is getting as hot at 155MHz as it did at stock with any of my other motherboards+PSU (excluding my VP6), and the Yamaha XG audio tells soundcards of the time to get rekt with its DOS and Windows sound quality (its far superior to the crap used in my now donated iPod nano 7).

10k is nothing! 80K is where you want to move to when you are 18!!!!!!!!!!
In the meantime setup a good business, sole proprietor $50 or incorperate $200 to lessen liability.
Then build a good brand for your company. Make some business cards and posters and start plastering them in your little 10K community. Make it look good though, like you are a professional.

I've just found a mobo with ISA.Oh God...so old.

Comrade!

Fuck, if only I had one. Want a Dell membrane keyboard?

Short answer: making chips is hard AF.

yeah just sue them, but for a larger amount like 10k-20k$ for induced stress and loss of use of your laptop which was a nuisance to your studies because you needed the laptop for it and something like that so you don't sue them for nothing. when you bought your laptop, you did'nt only pay for the laptop but also for the warranty and this service that in the end, they decided not to provide you. For one, they broke the mutual contract you got with them when you purchased their product.
 
this way you can then buy a new laptop from a better company and have $ over for a car or your studies or wathever.
 
with the way they handled your rma, you have a solid case against them, they broke many consumer protection laws there.

Flying airplanes is my biggest hobby right now. Have been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember. Have a lot of exposure to it and my degree is related to it, but only recently have I actually started to fly myself.
 
Outside of that, I enjoy cars, guns, photography, building computers, poorly playing my guitars, and the occasional game.

Bunch of Idiots. Everyone knows this is the ACTUAL shape of the earth
 

Some people spend a lot of energy and time thinking about and perfecting the things that they carry every day. This can include, phones, lights, watches, multi-tools, guns, batteries etc.

*UPDATE* 
 
Should be ordering the hardware in a couple of weeks, I added everything to this apart from the keyboard slide. I have narrowed down most of my ideas, and I believe I am going to put in some 1/8th inch grey paneling by the feet area to hide the wires, this will either be held in with pins or wingnuts. If anyone has better ideas, I'm open for options.


*UPDATE 2*
 
Added the keyboard slide, and I'm debating if I should add a monitor stand with drawers or something.

*UPDATE 3*
 
Sorry, just exploring different looks, if I went this path I could put my Xbox and/or PS4 under the monitor stand.
