It looks great! :) Did you use PETG or Acrylic for the tubing? The opaque coolant makes it a little hard to tell.

Blaise yea I know my limits. I couldn’t get a dual bend to work. I used an elbow and I like the silver it added. As to the tubes they are petg I tried other materials but they sucked. They would snap etc.

What other materials did you try? I've never had any issues with snapping before so I am curious. -Jacob B.

It was an acrylic tube, maybe the brand I bought wasn't so great. The PETG just seemed more forgiving. Could also be my cutting tool. I used this kit: https://express.google.co..._content=control_45_60

PETG is significantly more forgiving. If it snapped, it is possible it may not have been heated enough? I couldn't be sure. I have never had acrylic snap on me before. I have that same kit. It could be possible that if it happened while cutting that there is too much pressure being put on the tubing when cutting it. You would need to slowly cut into the tubing for acrylic since it is so much more brittle. This could perhaps have been the issue. I did notice that PETG was able to cut faster so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Jacob B.

Possible. My next build I may use glass.... but that is far far away. Anyway I spent a lot of time in there this weekend. Switched out the fans, added new coolant and fixed up some non perfect tubing runs around the bottom vid card. Also added drains.

Holy smokes. Why?! That looks like it started from the custom cable end. Hope everything else went unscathed.

I’m not sure but I’m worried about these cables now. I did have a Roswell crap extension plugged into it to power up al the Corsair hubs but it still shouldn’t have popped. Anyway no fatalities which I’m happy about. Cable is trashed Corsair cables installed.

Hope no other components are damaged. That was a custom cable job correct?

I love this, Never considered running two independent computers from within this case, would be great for reducing cable clutter and a case footprint

I love the updated tubing and the drains look really nice, but also very discreet which is always good :)
You did a great job! Hope to see that glass tubing build in the future!

Rig got a huge upgrade today. Installed a 2TB SSD and chucked my 2TB WD caviar. Don't know why I am surprised but the lack of a mechanical HD in the PC makes a huge difference in boot times as well as just general windows use. Cut and pasted my game drives, changed the drive letter to the old one and no issues.
Awesome.
