So I own a old desk my brother gave me with a tented peace of Glass and then I came across Linus Computer desk build. I didn't want to build that since I already got a nice case that I love. Any way the thoughts started to brew more and more and then it hit me the one thing I wanted to do with my computer is water cool it and I'm going for a mad scientist or Sci fi build for my computer and my desk I'm still trying to trying to figure out Water cooling. I'm trying to find all the parts since I do want to put another MSI GTX 1060 VR ready graphic card in my PC and run them SLI and water cool the whole thing but I can't find the Cooling parts for my Graphic card or what to do with my CPU.

 

What I plan to do is build a desk about the same size of my current out side of a part of it that will be covered by my glass along with another side I am thinking of making a external HDD so one side of my desk will become a big Thumb drive but I don't know. Thoughts?

Get the most powerful single GPU you can, SLI is useless and that's coming from an ex-SLI user for over 4 years with many different cards.

 

Also, unless you have really high end hardware, watercooling is a waste of money as it can go to buying you better and faster parts instead. Trust me, I've already gone through your mistakes and am trying to help you avoid them.
