I really wish that case wasn't so nice... Or so expensive, either works.

Lovely job either way.

Still looking great, Radox, one of my favourite builds on the forums.

Got a lot to live up to now for second build

Wow that build and case look amazing. Love the way the LED's change with the temp, awesome idea

Yeah sadly my inital budget kind of got blown. Figured I can reuse the case for a while so its not too bad (so I tell myself

)

Cheers buddy

, Heh am quiet please with how its turning out outside of few issues here and there. Fortunately lots of inspiration in some other amazing builds around here.

Cheers, yeah quiet happy with the little product

Stumbled across it by chance / luck when I was about to grab the NZXT hue. Works pretty well as it integrates into the water loop.

Looking excellent still! How is the Aurora 2 holding up, its hard to tell from these photos?

Cheers guys. In regards to the Aurora 2, its lost a little bit of its vibrancy, but I expect its because I have a dead zone near the drain port area.

But you still get a lot of the great effect of Aurora 2 after the pump runs on a high RPM for a few moments so its all pretty great still. Usually the Pump runs on a High RPM until in windows so it usually manages to get the fluid and Aurora 2 particles moving again.

Sounds good, I'm looking at putting this in my system.

I really love that case... I just wish I could build a system that would actually fit in it (I have severe issues with "over building" my rigs).

That's the AquaComputer Farbwerk that's powering your LED's right?

It looks absolutely stunning. It's better than the building

Cheers, yeah the case is definitely one of my fav parts, though as your rightly point out some compromises do need to be made, i.e no HDD support with the waterloop in place

. You are correct most of the strips are on the Farbwerk lighting kit, A couple of White strips located next to the Farbwerk controlled strips however are controlled by the front I/O panel. I find the LED's connected to the Farbwerk do not really produce a nice white color.
