Ok so this build I called Project Unknown because some of the things with this system I had never seen or heard of really. I truly believe I got an amazing deal on this system and I hope everyone enjoys it.

I guess that is it. I got all of this for $500. Guy i got it from just didn't want the stuff anymore and he was moving to upstate NY so score for me. So after getting it home and looking at it, i decided the guys runs were ugly as hell. i mean litterally lines were too long and just flopping around. I also noticed when i got it home how filthy it was on the inside from all the dust. So began the teardown of the system. (Wish I would have taken pictures.) but i cleaned everything. Had to order a replacement mounting kit for the Raystorm v3 because he installed it wrong and it was missing a spring. Well got the repacement mount in today and began the reassembly. ( I did clean everything.)

CPU BLOCK AND TOP RAD INSTALLED.

GPU AND RESERVOIR INSTALLED.

LOWER 4 X 120MM RAD AND FANS INSTALLED.

SYSTEM PLUMBED WITH PRIMOCHILL ULTRA CLEAR,

LONG LINE FROM THE CPU TO THE LOWER RAD HIDDEN WITH THE WIRE MESS THAT I GOTTA CLEAN UP. GOT THE IDEA FROM LINUS IN HIS ULTIMATE OVERKILL WATER COOLING GUIDE.
