The parts in this build come from what used to be my main rig, named Pinky. Then I upgraded and retired it.

 

Recently I've thrown it back together in a new case, with a new loop. I have a ton of watercooling parts that have just been lying around unused, so I figured I might as well put it all to use

The case is an InWin S-Frame that I recently acquired after a long search, just for collection purposes.

Free Cell is what she usually plays.

The GPUs are custom modded to be watercooled as well, I wrote up a guide a couple years ago which can be found here. They are plumbed as parallel in this case (used to be set up series, redid the mod during the pre-build maintenance overhaul).

I was originally saving my brand new CSQ circle-square EK RAM waterblocks for my SR-X, but since that build has seen no progress in years, I went ahead and used them here. It's a shame they no longer make them in the classic circle-square pattern, since I prefer it to the flat acetal finish they have these days. Excuse the imperfect bend there, as it was a quick build and I ran out of tubing to redo it lol.

 

Now all that's left is for her to play solitaire on this thing until it no longer meets the minimum system requirements of the game!

My mom loved the RGB puke option on the LED strip, and I had to forcibly forbid her from ever using that by confiscating the remote... sighs lol

you need to do the GPU mod that gets rid of the green but It looks good otherwise. also that case is an icon.

ugh i was thinking about that when i rebuilt the GPUs; it's quite easy tbh, but i guess i was just too lazy to make yet another trip to homedepot for red paint.

 

I also dont know how i would feel about actually having red logos. On one hand, it would match the overall color scheme better, but on the other hand it would become less variegated and "lively," sorta turning into one big red blob. Right now i see the green as a little focal point of interest, popping out amidst a red backdrop.

Red and green always reminds me of Christmas and the mod turns the green to white https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-remove-the-green-from-the-lit-geforce-logo-on-your-nvidia-graphics-card/
