As I finished upgrading my main desktop to Haswell platform and two Nvidia 780 GTX (all watercooled) and was left with the old hardware (CPU, mobo, graphic card, SSD disk and memory) I decided to build an open case desktop.
The main things I aim for is black-red-orange colour scheme and watercooled CPU and graphic card.
My setup will be:
Build platform: Lian Li PC-T60 Black
MoBo: Asus Maximus IV Extreme P67 LGA-1155
Memory: 4 x Kingston DDR3 4GB PC12800 1600MHz HyberX
PSU: Corsair Professional Series AX1200
CPU: Intel i2770K + XSPC waterblock
GPU: Nvidia 580GTX + XSPC waterblock
HDD: Intel SSD 120GB + Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s
Radiator: XSPC AX240 Dual Fan Radiator
Fans: 4x BitFenix Spectre PWM 120mm Fan Black with Orange LED
Pump: XSPC D5 Vario Pump
Reservoir: EK-D5 X-RES 100 CSQ
Fan controller: Scythe Kaze Server 5.25" Black
Coolant: Mayhems Aurora - Orillia Orange
Watercooling Fittings: Bitspower Matte Black fittings (various compression and rotary fittings)
Tubing: Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 16/11 - Clear
This is how I want to run the watercooling loop:
Pump -> CPU -> GPU -> Radiator -> Reservoir -> Pump
All the fittings will be for 1/2" (13mm) ID and tubing will be 7/16" (11mm) for really tight fitting
Fans will be mounted on both sides of the radiator for push-pull option.
I probably will need to drill some new holes in the Lian Li bench as I need to mount the radiator somehow (it will be quite thick with fans on both sides).
The components have started to arrive and I will try to post some pictures shortly.
