Hey everyone, been about 7 years away from the forums, I'm 22 now, and glad to be back in the LTT community. I am starting to source parts for a very custom rig, and have ordered two GTX 580 Hydro Copper 2 cards to run in SLI on this system. I have some experience with liquid cooling, and I'm looking for suggestions on glass piping, compression seals, radiators, pumps, etc. I understand this will be quite a project but I am excited to document the building process and hopefully remember to share it here with you all. Thus far, I have 8GB (2x4) DDR3 1866 RAM (beautiful VIPER sticks that are very difficult to find), an i5 4690K CPU, and the 2 GPU's. Any and all info on finding the proper parts is appreciated! Cheers. :)

Pretty sure those are from 2011, but still. I hope he finds what he needs. I love retro builds.

I got them for a steal and this build is a gift for a friend of mine, whom basically only plays TF2, so that is the basis and performance I need. Not much haha. It should eat Team Fortress for breakfast.
