Hi LaserLion, Thanks for the feedback - I definitely agree it could be improved. I've actually got to tinker with it a little more because I'm adding an internal SSD to use as a scratch disk for editing and also, the Commander Pro seems to have blown three of the fan headers and needs replacing. What a drag! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment! Joe

Final Part: The best pictures I have of the finished build - impossible to get a decent picture through the side panel (with my phone at least) but as I'm sure you can tell - it's very purple. Everything went remarkably smoothly with no major issues other than the usual minor teething problems. Got all the RGB synced up and everything installed and it's running Adobe Premiere Pro 2018. Even connecting directly to the NAS and getting audio running through the system was easy. I do keep breaking fan headers on the Commander Pro though and they're disappearing one by one from the iCue software... If anyone knows why this could be, please let me know! So enough rambling from me, I hope you approve of the new system and drop any questions below. Thanks, Joe.

And here is part two: I'm progress, test fittings, final fittings, watercooling stuff... And purple cables. And remember, if you're not thrilled with my cable management, the 1000D has doors on the back which do a lovely job of hiding all of it! A side note: the coolant is Mayhems Ice Dragon Nano Fluid.

Good evening, So firstly, this build is complete, I just have to split the post into Part One and then some extras to fit all the pictures in... Secondly, this is my first build in a while and my first ever watercooling loop and seeing as it's already installed (and working), please go easy on me! An Introduction: This build is a new video editing rig for the artist I work with as the current machine (iMac 2017) is no longer up to the task of 4K editing and has developed many weird and wonderful bugs which make me want to throw it out of the window. So the Mac is going to stay on as a production machine for music (for now) and this is going to be the new video editing rig. The aim is, make it epic and make it pretty so it looks good in the studio. Parts: To make one thing clear from the start, I cheated slightly. I bought a pre overclocked bundle from Overclockers UK to save both time and due to the fact that these are expensive parts and it's not a personal project, i.e. Someone else is paying! Difficult to explain that I broke it by being an idiot and we have to replace parts... But anyway: Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme Intel i9-7940x (running at 4.6Ghz) 32Gb Memory Corsair 1000d Case Corsair HX1200i Power Supply Samsung 970 Pro m.2 500Gb WD Black 3Tb HDD Asus ROG Strix Advanced RTX 2080ti Noctua NF-F12 Industrial for the Rad Noctua NF-A14 Industrial for the case EKWB Watercooling -Extreme 360 Kit CableMod Custom Purple and White throughout Part Two to follow with build pictures etc... Thanks for reading, Joe P.S. Any questions, leave them below and I'll answer...

Ducky Shine 6 with Browns... My all round favourite for everything. Great RGB control too which is always a bonus. Joe
