Figuring out the build

Planning and assembling a liquid-cooled computer in my own time.

For this open-case system, I planned the layout, drew the cooling loop and assembled the parts. It used an Intel Core i7 and 980 Ti graphics cards in SLI.

I fitted the cards with water blocks and bent the tubing by hand. It ran for years. Working out how the pieces fit together was the part I enjoyed.
