Hi Guys! Have been long time drooling and admiring the great builds from this forum. Got activated today [Thanks to Bianco]. So finally, I can post and share with you my first attempt at water cooling. Actually this project is already finished months ago. I learned a lot from the other worklogs here, so please pardon me if it seems that i have copied them. I welcome all comments and advice from you guys! Cheers!



"DNABOX"

The above name is the brainchild from my previous system that I already done a major upgrading - Three times EVOLVING!. - seemed appropriate considering the context of the this build. Thanks to Bro Bianco for the idea of the HELIX sign!!

Now before I get into more details of this log I would like to thank the following sponsors of this build:
My Credit Card
My loving partner!

And a special thanks for the guidance and time:
* BIANCO
* FROZE
* all the VRZoner
* all the XS forumer
