So this is my first on the forum, so you'll have to bare with me.
Im making my first Water-cooled PC with some aesthetic features but also with the intentions of it being a beast as well
budget doesn't really matter too much obviously don't want to waste money if i don't have to.
I want to try make my mod as original as possible and although thats quite hard with most possible mod variables having being done already I've had to rack the brain quite a bit.
The one idea I've had is to turn the Hot Swap bays into a reservoir and take the front door panel off as well and make a flush acrylic window so you can potentially see through the window (not sure whether I'm going to run a coloured coolant or not yet)
It just comes down to the reservoir to fit in there. Ive thought of having potentially three 5.25 bay res fitted vertically, would only use two for two loops the middle one as i mentioned earlier would be purely for aesthetic reasons.
Reason i want them vertical is because don't often see them and the vertical lines will go well with the tall case. I dont really want to but i may have to if everyone says its a total no go is have to cylinder reservoirs instead and sill have the flush acrylic window!
Other info people may want to know is im hoping to put in either a NexXxos Monsta or UT60 360 rad up top push pull and then a UT45 push pull at the bottom on its side with a side window panel mod. Case is away being painted as we speak. Will probably have another rad in aswell just not decided yet, will be two loops, 3 way sli, 4820k, ASRock Extreme9, 1300 Evga PSU, and the rest to be decided.
Any thoughts opinions would be definitely appreciated.
Thanks
