Time for a new home for my hardware and build #6.

The case is on order and I've been contemplating it for a while an took the plunge at the weekend. (another one Whyscotty twisted my arm with!)

A good bulk of the parts will be transferred from my TJ07 build. I wanted to build in a new case with more space and cooling options.
Like many of us I am a Bitspowerholic so thought I would build a system using only BP waterblocks and fittings.

Case: Caselabs SM8 - On Order :)
Waterblocks & Fittings - All Bitspower

10/12mm Rigid Acrylic tubing

I'm into photography and 3d model textures for FSX & X-plane so I do a lot of Photoshop work and a spot of simming while the wife is home!.

In the main browsing for computer parts to change and new cases ;)

Yep it is our fault - us caselabs owners keep encouraging others to buy them, but why not, I think they are worth the premium for what you get. :D

Now we really need a 'CL cases owners thread' :D
Looking forward to see your build take shape.
I had to put mine on hold for a month so I am happy to see something new :D

Hmm, just re-read and noticed rad colors.
White, black or panda ( build theme ) ?

If you mean the distributor, that won't happen.
These cases are customised to your liking.
There is no such word as 'stock' in CaseLabs dictionary.
What they could do, but won't happen soon, is to open workshop in Europe.

And therein lies the problem - I asked Caselabs if they had any plans in that direction, but it is not something they are considering apparently. What a shame. Think they would sell like hot cakes over here if the price was more competitive - i.e without the extra added taxes on import.
