EPISODE IV - THE PC AWAKENS
It was time. My GPU died. My processor seemed slow, and my pre-built cooling system was faulty. No stories, here's the build. We begin our design based off of Elon Musk's "Boring Company," in which I own a flamethrower made by them. I wanted a black & white look.

The specs:
i9 9820x 10-Core processor.
ASUS GTX 2080TI
ASUS X299-PRIME Motherboard
64GB Corsair Platinum DDR4 RAM
Custom. Water. Loop.

And continues.

And continues. At this point, I have drilled custom holes in my case to mount the pump EXACTLY where I wanted. I also used a heat gun to bend hard tubing perfectly.

The moment of truth. Leak tests. If this doesn't stop your heart when water comes out, nothing will.

We are in the clear!

The masterpiece is now finished. Let us rest.

No, let us game. I hope you enjoyed the saga of this project, from initial build, to finish. You learn a lot for every build, but this is the end. I will never upgrade this PC again, other than a GPU swap. It's maxed out.
Cheers all,
