It's really quiet when it's just idling or surfing XS, but as soon as you load up a game or a higher power application the water temperature rises a bit and then the fans kick up and keep it cool. It's a bit louder but not really too bad. I think it's a great balance. Thanks sniperbob for the great compliment.
Wow thanks so much.
I never thought about a foil over the display, but I actually like how it looks now. It's better in person, and after it boots up the display back lighting turns off.
Thanks! I like the video, anything in action is just a bit better. Maybe I can make another one, a bit more polished.
It's tricky. I had to extend and create a bunch off custom cables to finish it off right. I put a lot of time into the cable management, the most difficult aspect of building this I think. All said and done I'm really happy with it. Every cable is individually sleeved, even the ones you cannot see. The only spot in the case where I could actually "hide" cables is behind the face plate, but even that remained fairly clean.
Let me know if you want any specific details on how I accomplished this.
