Don't forget to work in an anti static environment and touch the case frequently ( if you don't have an anti static wrist strap).

Build outside the case first to test the core components.

That's all from me.

Build already. Also no need for a wrist strap I rebuilt my computer on carpet

For the Water loop, My plan is to use the Swiftech H220-X All-in-One Liquid Cooling Kit and customize it by adding the cpu and gpu block into is. The EK loop wont fit in the case as i want to. I will post the sketch layout in a bit.

Planning the build to see where the water loop would go.

All those nice parts....and then the monitor...which makes me want to bang my head into a wall. Please tell me that's a short term solution.

[CGameDev]

What is the short term solution? The monitor on the list is not what i am going to use... I choose it for now. Prob when Christmas and there are sales on monitors i will pick up 3 good ones.

Color that the case will be coated in!

 

[CGameDev]

The blue/red mirage as been applied. looking great so far. Some will be applied to the inside of the case, so when the lighting chances color the inside of the case will change color as well.
