    I've been itching to build a new machine for a while. I've started doing some video editing and wanted to do it with my PC, but my old i5 rig was woefully underpowered. After seeing all of the show build madness online, I decided to take a shot at doing one myself. I present.... The Purple Bit Eater; themed after my favorite football team.
     
    P.S. This is my first ever water-cooled build, AIO or otherwise. Though, I've been building PCs for about 20 years.

    They do sell clear tops now. No polishing required.
    The waterblocks were component specific, but those were both EKWB.
    CPU: x470 Taichi Monoblock
    GPU: FC1070GTX Nickel
     
    I've got two rads in there. I initially bought both from Primochill, but my 360 ended up with a crack in it. I sent it off for repair and I've got an EK CoolStream 360 in its place right now. The build quality on the EK rad feels better. So, I may just leave it in place. Plus, I wasn't overly impressed with the paint job on the rads, which was the whole point of buying the rads from PrimoChill over EK to begin with.
     
    Rad1: EK CoolStream SE 360
    Rad2: PrimoChill EximoSX 240
     
    The fittings and hard tube are all PrimoChill and appear to be holding up well. The build quality seems great for those parts.
     
    PrimoChill 1/2" Revolver SX 12-Pack
    PrimoChill 1/2" OD Rigid PETG Tubing
     
    The pump I bought from PrimoChill, but it's a D5. So, buy that from where you prefer. I bought it from them as a package deal with the Reservoir.

    Inevitably, you'll end up having to get some kind of 45 or 90 degree adapters, T-splitters, plugs, etc... My advice on all of that is to get all of your main components (pump, res, blocks, rads) first and test mount everything until you find a layout that works for you and then go back and buy the tubes, fittings, and anything else you need. No matter how well you have it planned out in your mind, you'll always discover that something doesn't quite fit how you imagined it to.
     
    I ended up having to change my front rad orientation and add a 90 adapter to the res fill port because I forgot to account for the fans and then had to change the drain port orientation because I forgot to account for taking the front of the case off when I need to drain it.
