HI Guys,
Building a new PC for Gaming and occasionally embarrassing myself streaming.
I've been building PC's for around 15 years now and i've water cooled many different PC's over the years, but for the last 4 years i have just stuck to a very small CPU loop only. The GPU died on me a couple of weeks ago, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity while i wait for its replacement to throw out the old case and take on the challenge of a new build with PETG tubing.
I will be receiving the replacement card from OCUK on Monday, who were awesome as always with the RMA and cannot thank them enough.
The Theme will mainly be red and black throughout with RGB Lighting synced with the motherboard and case lights. I Love Red and Black together and when i saw the Phateks red and black edition i knew that was the case i wanted to work with. When playing with the colour Scheme with the motherboard installed i placed a small reaper figure in the case and thought this could be a good theme i could carry throughout the build.
The case will be un-modded so stop reading now if you want to see cutting and butchering of cases

First i Wanted to Feel out the Colour Scheme;
Then I decided to add a little Red to the front of the case;
While i was at the Vinyl Workshop, they cut some small 'Reaper' decals for the fans too;
I removed the Corsair stickers and logo's and applied my own to carry the reaper skull to inside of the build; Ive added these to the back side also for the fans in push and pull
Im awaiting a delivery on monday for the graphics card, stay Tuned ...... i will update this evening.
