Got everything except my sleeved cables, which have shipped. I'm gonna start test fitting today and taking apart GPUs and prepping them for paint. Will also be painting RAM heatsinks and a couple other things. Probably going to be a couple weeks before its done, but I can't wait. Also waiting on a 27" QNIX and some Sennheiser headphones. This will be a full LSU themed build, I'll be sure to post some completed pics whenever that happens.

I just benchmarked for 4k. Lol. That won't be happening anytime soon for me.

I love builds with attention to detail. Take your time. BE VERY CAREFUL removing the RAM heatspreaders for painting (and obviously test them thoroughly first). Likewise for the video card shrouds.

If this is your first custom loop, run just the loop (jump your power supply) for at least 12 hours for leak testing and air bleeding before powering on the components. Ideally, best practice is to run the loop outside of the case, but it's difficult to do that and plan complicated tubing routes at the same time (with a CPU-only loop you should be able to do this, though). Wrap every connection in toilet paper (specifically toilet paper because it will show signs of moisture much easier than paper towels, and very slow leaks aren't always obvious enough to see with the naked eye).

And be sure to take good pictures in the best lighting possible. Bring it outside if you have to if it's not too cold.
