Project Paracosmos

Tpbmods

Cant remember the last time I built an MITX. This little gemm was never designed to be a CRAZY mod,
This project was designed to showcase the capabilities of the Swiftech drive x3 h240, and its expandable nature!
Paracosmos started in a VERY different direction that I wasnt happy with. So, I went out and got a new mobo and case, and started over.

SSD - TeamGroup T-Force Rainbow 240gb
PSU - Seasonic Focus + gold 850w
Case - Heavy airflow modded NZXT h200i

Watercooling:
CPU - Swiftech Apogee LT w/Iris ARGB
GPU - EKWB 1080ti
Pump/Res/Rad - Swiftech Drive x3 H240/Swiftech Hydrae GT 240 
Fittings - Nanoxia 1/2"
Angled Fittings - Nanoxia CF 45's
Fluid - Mayhem Pastel w/ Swiftech dyes

Misc:

Looks good! Unfortunate that that SSD has to be upside down though. That would drive me insane...

 

Can the top cover be flipped if you remove those screws?

yea, its definitely irritating.  Unfortunately not.
The reason this is, the RGB sits in a completely different half(upper) of the SSD housing, and I would basically have to chop the whole thing apart in order to flip it and have the connectors available.  But, no thermal throttling!!! Take that Kingston
