Case could be modified nice but configuration is excellent. Maxwell, Haswell-EP, solid X99 board, Platinum 1KW PSU. Great configuration. Skylake is for kids, Haswell-EP for men. :). Intel mainstream become problem for enthusiasts because small surface and bad heat transfer in last 2 generations and no sign that Intel think to change something. Big group of sponsors... I think to the end of 2016 people will have chance to build whole PC from EVGA-Intel parts. If they find EVGA DDR4 memory off course. Because EVGA will launch sound card, CPU cooler and case, and Intel cover CPU, SSD, PCI-E SSD. WHOLE PC EVGA - INTEL, N I C E!!!

Lake Effect Update Part 2: Antec P380 Overview with Radiator & Drain-Port Installation We've recently been working on Project Lake Effect and wanted to give you all an update to see what we've been up to. In the video below you will see Joe break down some of the features of the P380 and make some small modifications. With the successful installation of the two radiators, we can begin preparing the chassis for paint and hydro dipping! The Front Alphacool NexXxos ST30 360mm Radiator Installed  Joe Installing a new hole for an integrated Drain-Port     Stay tuned for more build updates in the near future!

Update Time! Joe made a video and you should totally watch it. Watch as Joe shows off some cable management, points at things, drills some holes and installs the Barrow Tube Reservoir/Pump combo into the chassis! We're always happy to show off some of the mods we have in store for this build and we can't wait to get some of the more exciting mods underway!  With our two radiators seated nicely into our case and linked, we sleeved and mounted our Gentle Typhoon 1800RPM fans.   The lovely folks at Ultimate Personal Computers were nice enough to sleeve all of our internal power cables giving our project it's black and white theme that we love so much. We think they did a great job so be sure to check them out!     Today Joe installed a Barrow Pump/Reservoir Combo unit into the chassis. In the coming weeks we're going to be getting the case ready for hydro-dipping and powder-coating. By drilling just a few holes in the bottom of the Antec next to the PSU, we were able to mount our Barrow Reservoir in a prominent and easily accessible position that is out of the way of other major components!   Stay tuned for more updates as Project Lake Effect progresses! Up next we're giving you a "How To" guide on graphic's card installation, plexi window installation and much more!

When we left off with Project Lake Effect, we had just finished test-fitting the majority of our components into the chassis. With that out of the way, the Antec case is being broken down and prepared for paint. While our case is being worked on, Joe has installed an Aquacomput er Kryogra phics waterblock onto our Nvidia GTX 980. Over the years we've gotten a lot of questions about how to properly install a GPU waterblock. Even though we're certain 99% of you already know this stuff, we figured we would make a step by step "How to" video describing the GPU block installation process for the select few who may not have dealt with a GPU block installation. You can check out Joe's sultry facial hair and GPU block installation skills below! Check out the Video !      Stay tuned for more updates from Project Lake Effect. In our next video we will be modifying our side panel with a plexiglass window!
