More on the Cooling
The water cooling system is a single loop system containing GPU, CPU, and a VGA RAM block and the pump is mounted on rubber studs and is being operated at 5V to reduce noise. The coolant runs through the blocks and enters the radiator.
The inside design of the case has changed throughout the build, the final design was made using pieces of aluminium sheet and clear acrylic. Unfortunately the picture didn’t turn out very clear due to the highly reflective clear acrylic sheet used for the side panel.
The total build time for the entire project was about 208 hours and at a cost of £279.16, including the water-cooling system, which I thought was very reasonable considering the price of a good case with high-end water cooling can cost up to £400.
Overall I’m very pleased with the final result, as it's quiet running, aesthetically pleasing and unique. The only downside is that despite being made of fibreglass, the case is actually quite heavy. However, it's still easy for a single person to lift and move.
