Project Blue Steel

[Awkward Turtle]

Hi all,

I will be building a custom water-cooled mini-itx pc inside of the Fractal Design Nano S. (I will be doing a soft tubing build this time as I fancy a change from my previous hardline builds)

The theme for this project will be a crisp blue and nickel coloured idea with chrome fittings and blocks where possible,

Also I will be trying to fit dual reservoirs into the build for aesthetic reasons. 

The main feature of this build however will be to achieve the lowest noise possible as I'm a real noise freak when it comes to PC's

This build will be a slow project for me as Im at University so its not a main priority atm, but stay tuned for more details and first pics!

Lately I've been noticing a tiny (pun) trend in Mini ITX Cases involving water cooling. And, to be honest, I AM LOVING THEM. Good luck, and stay focused on schoolwork! Trust me, my Freshman year in college is going roughly because I keep getting distracted by builds! 

 

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us! Have fun
