ekwb Another year, another InWin Case

[Lethiferous]

Last year I got the 928 and did a dual build in that. Thought it would be my final case for a while but then the 909Ek dropped and once again I couldn't help myself with case hoarding. 

My 928 will be coming apart for some upgrades and changes. Getting all the Intel out of my life, it's nice going back to TR on 3rd gen.  Liking the 909EK case functionally speaking but it's one of those cases that takes smart choices and lots of small work to look clean and remain a daily use build not one that sits on a show floor.  Made some subtle changes so it's not identical to the other 198. I know of 1 that's quite different. Threw in a group shot of last years InWin build.

Chasis: InWin 909EK
MB: Aorux TRX40 Extreme

CPU: AMD 3970x TR

RAM: 128GB 3466 GSKILL

PSU: EVGA 1300 G2  Supernova

Cooling: Custom loop. 

Wiring: killed my fingers as usual. Don't know how people do this for a living.

Did you installed one or two pumps and how did you manage to install both radiators and the tubes on the left chamber?

Two d5 pumps in the bottom. Soft tubing in the chamber, only way to get it on. It's a tight maneuver.

Thanks for your feedback. Did you install both radiators first and then start with the tubing inside the case/chamber? Last step is to install both pumps?

Pumps first, then rads one side at a time. Once the pumps are in the predesignated areas, you won't be able to work in the rad chamber anymore if the rads are mounted on. It's quite tight in that area.
