My first time watercooling, and there's a more in depth description at the end of the album.


 


System:


  • Case - CM Storm Trooper
  • MB - Asus Maximus VI Formula
  • CPU - Intel I7 4770k
  • RAM - Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB
  • PSU - Corsair AX760
  • GPU - Asus Poseidon GTX 780
  • SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
  • HDD - WD Caviar Black 2TB

Cooling:


  • Radiators - Alphacool NexXxos 240 (30mm and 45mm)
  • Pump - Alphacool VPP655
  • Reservoir - Monsoon Series Two
  • Tubing - Primochill Primoflex Advanced LRT
  • CPU Block - XSPC Raystorm
  • Fans - (4) Corsair SP120 High Performance

Peripherals:


  • Mouse - Logitech G600
  • Keyboard - Logitech G710+ (With orange color caps added)
  • Headset - Corsair Vengeance 2100 Wireless

It may be a CM Storm Trooper, but since it's black, with a bit or red, I decided to call it "Vader" for now. If anyone can think of something more original, let me know, it needs a good name.


(and May the Fourth be with you)

Thanks all, and I'm a bit afraid to total up the cost at this point, haha

 

I still plan to do some custom sleeving and some better wire management, but this will do for now.

i love the beast tower.
Not something i would go for, but it's like tuning cars, every guy loves them,
but we just love to seem them in stead of doing it ourselves :D

I also bought a bluray drive for it initially, but I liked the cleaner look without it, so I put it in my old system instead. 
Next step will be custom sleeving, but I want to make sure my PSU can handle everything first. 
Sure I probably could have gotten a lot more performance for the amount I spent, but it's already way faster than I need and I've got a thing for aesthetics, so it's a fair trade off in my mind.

Sorry for the convoluted speech pattern.
