I use an all in one water cooler with a corsair 900d. Haven't implemented the custom loop yet.  :P

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

My stock cooler. It's annoyingly loud sometimes. Can't wait to get an H100i :D

 

Sounds like this if I render videos or do something CPU intensive.

It's quite a sad state to be in, But tbh It's only like that because I'm modding the front panel and sides but cbf pulling my components out of the case :/

 

I don't have side panels...  :ph34r: I downsized an old ATX case to ITX but haven't made small side panels yet :P

The red LEDs on my front fan and the yellowish sticker on my TX650. besides that There isn't anything particularly embarrassing about my computer. Maybe my i5-2400? but naw, its still a beast and does everything I want it to, so yeah. I'm happy with my computer :)

Old shit no one cares about but me.
