built this pc in september 2016 decided i want to get into water cooling and attempt my first custom loop make a sleek white , blue and chrome build.
first step was finding the right parts and copper pipe for this build decided on the 6700k and delid and use a z270i mb for the extra m.2 slots and the ekwb mono block. went for bitspower royal blue fittings and 12mm copper pipe that i had to order from the uk via ebay since the australian standard is 1/2inch(12.7mm) and no one in australia can supply 12mm OD copper pipe cost me $160aud for 2.5metres.
spray painter by trade so painting the case,fans res etc was a simple task and used a water based paint its a one coat system so a heavy build up would not happen on the sp120 fans painted the rings a blue pearl to match the fittings and break up the white a bit.
next step was bending the copper pipe had to heat the pipe to a cherry red and then let cool to soften the copper so it was bendable after all the fail bends i finally got them all right and sent them away for chrome and polish work.
few mods like the front io was removed for a nice clean look and psu cover made
still arriving is cable combs for the 24pin and a custom side panel and some stickers
