discussion Home theatre rig rebuild

[Bartacus]

Howdy folks, just a quick 'rebuild' of my home theatre rig, nothing terribly exciting. I had this mounted on the Core P3 case a while back, then decided a single 420 rad wasn't enough, since I was doing some gaming on it. The guts then got moved into a soft tube loop in a Lian Li PC O11 Dynamic XL with triple 360s. Now it has come full circle since I'm not gaming on this thing anymore, I decided to rebuild it on the P3 again, this time with a small twist: I sanded the acrylic tube for a 'frosted' look.

System specs for those who care:

Ryzen 3700x 8 core
Asus Crosshair VII Hero X470 motherboard / EK Monoblock
32GB (4 x 8GB) G.Skill 3600 CL16 RAM (technically it's 3200/CL14, but runs at 3600/CL16)
AMD Radeon VII GPU / EK Vector GPU block
1TB ADATA SX8200 NVME SSD
2 x 2TB Micron SATA SSDs in RAID0
Asus WiFi card
ThermalTake Core P3 White Edition
Corsair AX850 850W PSU

Singularity Computers D5 pump top / reservoir
Alphacool UT60 420mm radiator, white edition
Fractal Design Prisma AL-140 PWM RGB fans
Barrowch flow meter / temp sensor
Darkside 16mm hard tube fittings / 90 degree fittings, white
16mm acrylic tube, lazily hand frosted by me with a 400 grit sanding pad

Glamor shot from the worlds most disgusting laundry room:


For a quick and dirty sanding job, it doesn't look too awful:


My drain system is threatening my tiny manhood:


All done up:


You can see it's not the cleanest sanding job up close, but it'll do:


Like most of my builds, I have a fetish for simplicity, each of these tubes is only ONE 90 degree bend. All hail spacer fittings!!!


I love puuuuuuuurple:


I also love information I can see without using monitoring programs!

the frosted look worked well for your build. great job! seeing more and more frosted tubing builds these days.

good to see that no 90 was on the suction of pump

nice build like those digital displays

Thanks guys. There's a 90 on every port but one, LOL!

its all good with a D5 pump

your 90's aren't that restricting like elbow fittings
