  1. yeah for sure. The whole "H" series is a very well made product in my experience. I have moved my 700 around quite a bit and I dont at all feel like its cheaply made. Its worth the money whether it be the 500 or 700
  2. Having worked in an NZXT H700i extensively, I can definitely recommend it. Very durable case.
  3. Awesome job man, I did the same thing to my wife's build a few months back, although yours is a bit cleaner!
  4. Thanks! yes I did all the bends by hand, botched my first two before I had it down
  5. From my experience, (i have owned multiple air coolers, X62 Kraken and now a custom loop) If im going to go liquid cooling then it will always be custom loop at this point. Air cooler will perform just as well in any other situation. AIO are simply not worth the money. if you must go liquid then save up and go custom, otherwise get a Dark Rock Pro and call it a day
  6. I just recently did my very first hard line loop, I bought PrimoChill's PETG. One box of 6 30 inch runs, i had never bent tubing before and i still have one completely unused tube. They are cheap and if you take your time you will be surprised at how easy PETG is to work with. https://www.primochill.com/collections/petg-3-8-x-1-2/products/primochill-1-2in-rigid-petg-tube-6-x-30in-clear
  7. yeah that's what I have noticed. those are really good numbers you had. This card has been a workhorse for me and I dont see a need to water cool it other than the aesthetic. Ill just wait until im ready to upgrade and do it then!
  8. Thank you. yeah id like to at some point, i may wait a bit until the RTX cards come down in price and pull the trigger then. My current set up has the card idling around 25c and around 55-65 under full load so im not in a hurry.

  10. Probably have already seen it but the Corsair 1000D would suit your needs. not cheap and more than twice your $200 limit but i haven't found one under that price or even close that also looks good... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G7PT6937
  11. Clean looking build, sucks about the process though

  13. I have been wanting to create my own case...after seeing this i want to even more. great job!
  14. Thank you! Im a big spiderman fan so that was sort of the plan, appreciate the compliment!
  15. like most people here, it seems that ultra is just too much for the card
  16. pretty nice looking rig, good job.
  17. Well the coolant is in and it's running leak free!! its not quite finished just yet, I think I may have missed some connections, fans and rgb strips are not powered. It's been a long day lol. I'll fix it all up tomorrow and will get some truly completed shots.
  18. Here is my build, I found that using pipe cleaners really helped visualize my bends, it's pictured in the log. Just put coolant in tonight!
  19. Here, try this. Kinguin is legit and has been talked about and used by most big youtubers as well. https://www.kinguin.net/category/19429/windows-10-professional-oem-key/
  20. Awesome start! I am in the middle of my first hardline build, check my build log out if you want?...good luck! its worth it in the end.
