re: PC Gaming Buddies. I'm Back With My New Build

Got the following done on my build today.

Modified the top of the case to accommodate a 360 Swiftech reservoir. Had to elongate the hole patterns in the top for the radiator and fans. I also used a multitool to cut a slot for the reservoir and drains on the case. I'm ok with that mod. I'm not happy that a standard hole pattern had to be modified in a $350 case (which I purchased for less).

Installed the motherboard, CPU and water block/pump. Installed the graphics cards.

Began installing cabling and shaping cabling for cable management. I'll probably do a Kansas City stitch on the cabling. I don't like zip ties.

Installed the SSD drives and hard drives. I've already installed the fans and power supply.

Tomorrow I hope to finish the cabling, install the tubing and fill and bleed the wc system. I also need to install the fan controller. Shaping the tubing for the wc will take a little while as will the cabling. I don't know if I will boot the system tomorrow or not.

Still on the docket is removing the front and top grills and sanding and painting them.
