Nice. Water based cooling in a is daft unless it's a 100% gaurenteed not to leak. Nice build and I'm never likely to ever watercool my stuff not when you can get good air cooling for cpu & graphics too.
 
I have had Louqe Ghost S1 since March, but for various reasons have not had time to build into it. I had been waiting for Ryzen 3 to upgrade my work PC, but given ITX motherboards may be some weeks in arriving, and I want Ryzen 3 to mature a bit before I rely on it for work, I decided to move my existing Xeon 1231 V3 and Zotac Mini 970 into the Ghost for the moment, with a new 650w power supply, 1tb SSD and custom cables. Ryzen 3700x before Xmas. The Xeon is a 4 core, 80w part so will be a good upgrade come the time. The case is only 7 litres in capacity, similar to the Dan A4.

My new Ryzen 3600 mATX build in Fractal Meshify C Mini. Nowhere near as neat and tidy as others in thread but I'm happy with my effort. Could do with some braided cables to replace the ones that came with the PSU. Used blue sata as I had them spare from my previous build but will probably change them for a different colour at some point.

Finally, I decided to return to water-cooling. I attempted some hard-line bending and I couldn't get it right so just stuck with flexible tubing for now.

Thought I would try the Corsair Hydro X stuff as I'm a bit of a corsair fanboy. Seems ok.

Inwin 301
ITX System (2600, RX570)
Noctua U12S
Uphere T7SYC7 fans (£43 for six inc a hub - bargain).

There's no space for fans on the CPU cooler (VRM heatsinks on one side, RAM on the other) so I'll have to see how it goes. If temps are a problem then I'll swap to an AIO or try my first custom loop.
 
Why would you have such nice lighting, and such good cable management, and then put a solid side panel on there? :confused:

That PC was built to be seen!

'cause nobody has stock of the side panel in either clear or tinted. :p I didn't want to tie myself to having a clear side panel so bought the case with solid sides and once stock comes in (nobody has any stock) for the panels in Sept I'll look at getting one of them. I'm not sold on having glass panels so opted for the 'safer' option with the ability down the line to be able to swap a clear/tinted side onto it. Not sure which I'd prefer, tinted or clear. I've never been much of a fan of clear sides so think tinted would be best for me, still, got a month to decide.
 
My first 'gaming' PC, loving it so far :)
Managed to squeeze it into the only unoccupied corner of my apartment (the only place my wife would let me put it).
