I will be doing a custom dual loop build in this case, I have never done a build log before so bear with me, I sourced this rare case with a connection I have on the east coast. Case will be here on 1-17-19 and will start getting it put together and sharing pics on that as well. This will be my first ever hard tubing build so I'm nervous and excited at the same time nut none the less ready to do something great with this case. Going with a Evga 1300 watt G2 psu that will be here on 1-16-19 as at some point i plan to get a 2080ti ftw3 hydrocopper in the future and move to a 9900k over my current 8086k. I mainly game so that should suit me fine. lso going with a HWL GTX 560 AND 480 rads both in white and plan to get white psu cables as well. Stay tuned.........

can't wait to see the finished product. My case is a caselabs MAGNUM STH10. It's as beautiful to me as the day I bought it in 2013. I recently cleaned it and prepared it for a new z390 dark coming tomorrow. Sad caselabs is not in business now.

It's looking like it will be a good build and I am sure if you have any questions about the build people will share tips. Can't wait to see the full build.

Thanks guys, I will get to put some stuff together between tomorrow and next tuesday night as things show up at the door, once that is done I will be holding up till tax time to complete it. I was going to rush it and run soft tubing but did not feel it would look the way I want it to. So trying to be patient and do it right and I'm making sure I order plenty of hard tubing in case i mess up. I will be updating the top post with a parts list as well and pics to follow as promised. Thanks for following me on my first custom loop build log. Have a great night all.

I bet this will be quite a nice build Repo! Caselabs are some of the nicest built cases, IMO. I have had Mountain mods for awhile, but would love a CL sometime. Smart to order extra tube, for practice. Your patience will pay off with the results. Waiting for updates, enjoy your build.
