If you're going for something that amazing, why not go the whole hog and get a custom loop done?

Might want to remove PCPP link before you get put on the OCUK naughty step.
 
Fair play. There are some good options out there for AIO, such as the EK Predator, not sure what the Thermaltake AIO is like but it looks like many other low end ones on the market.

Just out of interest, why the crazy fans? 3 of them at 66dB is going to be unbearable I'd imagine? For control, look into something like a fan controller, the one from Phanteks works well, or if you want something more controlable the NZXT Grid+ should work. These take the power away from the motherboard and direct from the PSU, but allow you to at least adjust the RPM a bit.

Well, I'm actually looking into quieter ones, and the EK Predator is still on my bad side, since my last build died because of their Gen1 batch [EDIT] Looking into the X360 Kit by EKWB

Seems like this is just a post to get links to that terrible website in your signature if i'm honest... You know, the one that promotes buying gaming PCs. Even the kit list just looks ridiculous - I mean nobody is going to be putting 5 single 1TB drives in.

We shall see, but don't feel like this is genuine.

Give me 3+ years and I'll post the finished build, and mention you especially.

My main reason for using 5 Single 5TB drives is that I use them for separate project storage between PC's, since the Designs I do are up to 820GB Each, at approx 190,00,00 interactive frames in a simple .swf

(Also I really don't care about people clicking my site, it doesn't bother me)

3 years for what? To build the PC? In 3 years I'm sure there will be much better components available.

Why did you put it there then? I can see you've now removed it but seriously you're on a forum for a site that builds PCs and offers components and you are promoting your identical (but seemingly much worse) service.

This PC seems like its a complete lie... The components, the stuff you say, nothing makes a lot of sense - you can certainly say the parts are random and why would you list every fan 8 times. Oh well - post the build and tag me in 3 years lol. You're saying you want this setup and are not actually building it for 3 years?? I don't think you are actually making this, which is the point of this section.

This is a mildly confusing thread to me.

So you aren't actually planning on building this any time soon then? Is there really any advantage to trying to determine a computers spec so far in advance when things are constantly moving forwards? I understand if this is a "fantasy" build, but otherwise it seems a bit odd to decide now what you will be buying in 3 or 4 years time.

I have a question though - what are "metal gear solid fox hound" as it relates to a computer build, and why do you need 12 of them?
 
Sounds reasonable, in 3 years, once the parts actually drop 500% in price, maybe he could buy the whole thing for around £1000..
Also downloading enough crap to fill up 5gb of disk space will take some time.
