Project : Scan_H2O_v1.C

[Scaniris]

Hello,

This is my first worklog here, and my first worklog ever for a pc build.

My goals are:

- to share with others my experiences (positive and negative) gained in designing this system (products, tools, ...)

- to share with others the questions I asked myself as a beginner in watercooling and case modding (this is only my 3rd watercooled system, 1st one was built 5 months ago....)

- to get lots of comments that will help me improve my current system, but also in the design of future systems

All remarks are really welcome, this systems is IMO a draft... but this is the first time I invest so much time and energy to modify the case, to think about the best tube routing and s.o.... and I like this! Previous systems were... not really optimized but I was starting from nothing, with no experience and thanks to XS forum I discovered some weeks ago, I learned many things that helped me a lot to build this new rig!

I take great pleasure in spending time (for fun, it's a hobby only) to make this type of system. And I hope to receive your advice, your help and some ideas for improving this configuration, and the following

Let's start with some photo, the build is not completed, for example I'm not really happy with the reservoir (using EK BAY Spin... but I have 2x Res 100 and Res 150 in my ''stock''), not happy with the pumps like this (I'll maybe try to split the D5, I have 2x X Top in my ''stock'')... but well here's the starting point.

Special thanks to

- XS forum members for all the helpful threads, worglogs, answers... MANY thanks to you guys!!
- Eddy from EK Waterblocks for the excellent customer management
- Tom from ChilledPC for the very good recommendations (fittings, radiator for top mount into the TJ07, clamps, etc...) and the incredibly fast reaction time (email answers, delivery time...)
