So I gutted my TJ-10 for a few reasons:
-I’m impulsive
-Dust started clogging the PSU -> Caused the system to freeze
-Ungodly amounts of dust were being sucked in through the top (and I hate cleaning with a passion)

On a lighter note the temps were actually very solid (mid 30’s at stock).

Presently, I’m stuck in a small dorm room in San Francisco and all my tools are back in Minnesota so modding might be limited.

Parts on order:
EK-BAY SPIN Reservoir - Acetal
Various Bitspower fittings

Current thoughts:
I’m hoping to replace my GPU since I had a revelation that it was pointless since I don’t play PC games. lol
I hope the room I’m in can support the new power supply.
I haven’t seen anyone with EK’s new reservoir so it should be interesting.
I’m hoping to mount the D5 directly to the Reservoir but there might not be enough clearance.
I forgot all my sleeving supplies back with my CNC so I’ll have to order some more. (Maybe something from MurderMod)
