Completely agree. I am incredibly bored of red builds and can count the ones done well on one hand. This easily gets added to the list.

 

Really, really well done on this one.

The cooling setup is fantastic. What are your tubes made from? Are they acrylic?

It's PETG, although I am considering switching to glass.  Just worried about the added weight.

[sarj333]

Ah. I don't think glass would be much of a noticeable difference in weight but it would of course depend on the thickness of the tubing...

The issue is not necessarily the tubing itself, but the combination with the Bitspower 90 degree fittings, which are quite heavy.   The runs between the pump/CPU block and CPU block/upper rad would likely sag.  I've found glass tubing is better for SFF builds for this reason.

4K video rendering and gaming.  Also update my fantasy baseball lineup.

Right on.

 

I bet you can run like almost 8 tabs at once with that world wide web stuff too, huh?

Nah, would need the 6950X for that probably.  I max out at 6 tabs.

That looks phenomenal. Is that purple LED accent or just a very violet red?

It's a light red.  If I turn it on full blast red it's just too much.  So I turned down the brightness and adjusted the hue to a softer color.  It's maybe even a little pinkish.

No but this is honestly one of the nicest rigs I have ever seen
