Hello. This build log will be for a water cooled Cooler Master Stacker 830 that I will be giving the minimalist treatment. The case was used a few years ago when I started to do a build with it. However I lost interest. So time to resurrect it and start again.
What to expect?
Lots of polishing, simple mods to clean up the interior, clean acrylic loops, and sleeving. Then eventually some powder coating in and out.
The hardware:
2 x Intel E5-2660
Asus Z9PE-D8 WS
32GB G.Skill Sniper
EVGA GTX650Ti Boost
750W Silverstone ST75F-G.
2 x EK Supreme HF
EK Thermosphere
DDC3.2PWM + EK CSQ top
HWLabs SR1 360
Decided I wanted to go w/ polished clear blocks. I polished the first one to the best of my ability.
Then a couple of shots w/ the coolant I will be using. I added a lot more purple this time.
The state of the Stacker(s) before starting the build.:grr:
A few days later I finished the other block.
Starting to reassemble the case.
The exterior panels shown are from my old Stacker. They won't be used.
The EK circles didn't match this build so time to sand and polish again.
Then w/ the pump together and some coolant in it.
