I'm messing with screws for fans myself. Doing some final truing up and measurement checks and realised (why after all these years) that I don't have sufficient clearance between tube and fan to use regular screws. But the XSPC radiator uses 6-32 UNC threads, and finding UNC bolts in metric lengths is impossible, especially when you're using a 15mm thick Noctua fan.
After digging through numerous places I'm now chopping down countersunk 3/4 inch bolts to 18mm length and drilling countersinks into my fan so it's all flush and doesn't interfere with the tube over the top.
So forgive me for being a little triggered by your fan screws
Oh man not even had time lately to look at stuff for this build, been busy with the next build. I always found that so frustrating that different manu's use different screw sizes too. Why can't there be a one size for all like fan screws?
Thanks mate! definitely one of my best so far, hoping to break that with my next build now that i have some support from vendors.

Wow, looks amazing.

Send it to me
Then you won't have to keep fiddling around with it
I will be doing you a favour honest

Oh i bet, i'm sure you would make good use of my main rig
.Been thinking about adapting a 240mm radiator to the back of the system on QD's so i can take it around easier. But then thought about it last night and the system on its own without the MORA attached weighs in around 8kg
Get outta hereeee, your stuff looks amazing too man! I have to do it this way for reasons, otherwise i'd probably go back to phone pics for lazy reasons
Thanks both!
Tested my Phanteks RGB Neon light strips to go white last night and they are both yellowish! Apparently it's a common fault with these strips... gutted.
I just sold off a system and moved my main rig into itx because the woman wants to reclaim the living room space I was using.
So we made a deal for som room upstairs and an itx system… when it was done I actually said there I’m done buying, she as not stopped laughing yet.

I just told my wife that it will never end and probably do this aslong as i'm interested in doing it. She said okay, you do what you enjoy! WIFE OF THE YEAR!
There is a lot worse things you could be doing. The wife knows I’m happy and I’m not moaning at her so it’s all good
Exactly, think she rather i stayed home and did computer stuff than going out partying

To ask what it weighed
That's pretty impressive tbh
No idea what my 011d build weighs
But it's easily going to be multiple x that
Had to put some castors on it as my backs totally shot
And can't even pick it up anymore
That's another reason why I need yours then
