Hey guys so for a while I have wanted to build my own watercooling loop but never got round to it until now 
I got all of my stuff to do it pump, rad, tubing, connectors etc...
But the only thing I didn't buy was a new case. I have an old Antec p180 case and if any of you know that it does not have any space for w/c. But I thought why pay £100+ for a new case when you can just get a dremel and go crazy
goodbye messy case.
first marked out the top for the rad.
Here is the top cut and has rad installed (after cleaned), the little square cut out is for the pump/res ... putting the pump up there to hide it away
Now to take off the stock cooler and put the GPU block on. (yes I am ashamed of the dusty fan :/)
Looks good! got the thermal tape in the right places.
Looks even better! love the sleek cooler
Now to put the CPU block on
Done!
Now to put in the board and GPU (you can see the hole I cut out ontop)
Fans installed
Starting to put the tubing in
Trying to keep it all black and blue
Rad and Pump installed
After taking everything out and testing it (forgot to take pics)
I put the top cover back on after cutting out holes for rad/pump and fittings
Fits perfectly
everything back in and ready to go, note there isn't anywhere to put cables so done my best to tidy them.
Well that's about it what do you all think of my first time?
thought I would keep that OcUk sticker on there
