Project Copper Head - My First Custom water cooled pc!

[SomeGuyInSpace]

Ok so for this build im going all out balls to the wall! Its going to be freaking awesome and im going to show you guys the build up along the way! 

 

so a few weeks ago i thought of an idea to use copper tubing as piping on a PC, but wait it gets better... I also thought of stripping a aluminum case to bare aluminium. So a few weeks later I was telling one of my buddy's about it and im a minitrucker and so is he, he said he could fabricate a case for $250 for me and make it how ever i want so i was like "HELL YEA" so he said get on sketch up and make a design and ill get on it. 

 

so that's what i need your guys help with, i never built a water cooled pc but ive seen jaystwocents Skunk Works and linustechtips personal rig so i know the basic layout and i know for sure i want a basement in the case so leave the suggestions please and im going to get on building the case in sketch up!

 

i want to do lots of un necessary piping too (just because its badass) kinda like a industrial building would have and maby even bring some piping outside! this case is most likley going in my office at my shop (i have a custom truck shop) to show off so im not really going for a practical build just badass and that it works!

theres obviously no case or cooling or anything like that because its all going to be custom lol. i have an idea to do custom graphics card covers over the water blocks that my buddy can make for 80$ each which will be cool

well heres just some refrence pics and ideas of what i mean by "industrial building"

 

 

most skyscrapers have GIANT exhaust fans on the top so i want to do that on the top with the rad

 

heres just an idea of a basement probably wont do thin in the basement of the case lol

 

This is what im wanting to go for on the inside of the case come out of the case into the top like in the next picture

 

Im gonna do pipes like this around the fans up top
