Hey plumbers of OcUK,
I'm looking to do a water cooled build at the end of the month.
The two items to be cooled are a GeForce GTX 670 reference board and an Intel i5 760 running at 4.0+GHz. I will consider going to a SLi setup with the 670 when the performance is required.
I have a few requirements for what I'm hoping to achieve with this setup,
I know choosing the right case is key here, I've got my eye on the Shinobi XL, not sure how suitable it is for cooling but I like the simple exterior. I want a case that was designed with water cooling in mind with dedicated attaches and mounting points for the rad, pump and res.
I have a budget of around £1000 and that includes purchasing a new PSU, the 670, case and water cooling bits and bobs.

I have a few requirements for what I'm hoping to achieve with this setup,
- A black, minimalistic exterior
- Black interior, as I want all the hardware to be black, bar the cooling tubes and fluid.
- UV reactive fluid
- I want the only thing to the visible at night is the path that the water takes
- Low noise and vibrations
