John, My name is Richard. I am building my new computer in two=20 Thermaltake Core X-9 cases. I am calling mine the SuperComputer. It is=20 based around an AsRock EP2C612WS motherboard two Intel i7, 2603, 1.6 GHz processors, 32 GB of Crucial DDR4, 2133 MHz ram.=20 This will eventually be 128 GB. It is powered by two Silver Stone=20 Strider Power Supplies. One is a ST-1500 and the other is a ST-850. The=20 big one powers the MB, CPUs, Ram, and expansion devices except for the=20 graphics cards. The little one will power the GPUs and the liquid=20 cooling components. Right now it has a FirePro W5000 2GB graphics card.=20 This will eventually be replaced by two EVGA GeForce GTX-980 4 GB cards.=20 I have a Haupauge TV card, USB 3 expansion card, an Adaptec U320 SCSI=20 card. I will eventually add a second one. I am also going to add a=20 Cyclone 7 slot PCIe expansion board. I am using Win 8.1 Pro for the OS. The boot drive is a 128GB SSD. There are 10 HDDs adding up to a=20 little over 8 TB in space. There will be ten more and this will add=20 another 20 TB of space. Some of that will be used in a Linux dual boot=20 setup. 100 GB is allocated for a Swap drive. There are separate drives=20 for Applications, Records, Games, Pictures, Music, and other OSes. There=20 is a DVD Reader/Writer. A cassette player called the PlusDeck and a=20 multi-format card reader. The power supplies, radiator, pump, reservoir,=20 and the card reader are mounted in the lower case. The MB, expansion=20 cards, DVD player, PlusDeck, Aquacomputer Aquaero 6, and the HDDs are in=20 the upper case. This has entailed building custom cables as the stock=20 cables aren't long enough. I have known about liquid cooling for many years but this is my=20 first try at liquid cooling a system. I am using the AquaComputer=20 Aquaero 6 XT for the controller. I have also installed the Real Time=20 Clock, the passive heat sink, and the liquid block to it. I have an AC=20 D-5 AquaBus/USB Pump and an AC AquaLis AB/USB 880 mL Reservoir. This is=20 the CPU Loop. There will be at least one and maybe two more loops with=20 the same pump and reservoir combination for each loop. There is an=20 Alphacool 240mm NexXxoS Monsta Radiator. Right now I am only cooling the=20 CPUs, the Aquaero, and two hard drives. As I add more liquid blocks I=20 will add more radiators. All of them will be Monstas. I am using the AC=20 AquaDrive HDD block to cool the drives. There will eventually be 9 more=20 cooling a total of 20 drives. I am using two WaterCool HeatKiller IV=20 Acryl blocks on the CPUs. The coolant is AC Double Protect Ultra Clear.=20 I am going to dye it UV blue after I finish the loop. I will also be=20 cooling the SB/NB which is actually an Intel 612 chip, the VRMs, the=20 memory, and some more HDDs on this loop. The second loop will be cooling=20 the GPUs and some of the HDDs. I might add a third loop and put all of=20 the HDDs on it. I don't know as of right now. The primary tubing is=20 16/12mm Alphacool Plexi clear. The tubing going to the Aquaero and the=20 HDDs is 12/8mm Alphacool Plexi clear. The fittings are Alphacool, and=20 Barrow. I am using Phobya radiator anti-vibration mounting kits and=20 filters. I have also added two NZXT internal USB hubs. I am using AC=20 AquaSuite 2016-4. I am also using the 64 bit version of HW-Info. I built a custom upper radiator mount and had it powder coated=20 blue. I am thinking of flat packing my cases and having certain internal=20 pieces coated in the same blue color. Of course this will entail a=20 complete tear down and rebuild from the ground up. I was shown how to=20 add windows to the vented side covers and it. I am a retired/disabled Master Automobile Technician with over 35=20 years of experience. I have also done custom fabrication work for=20 decades. I owned a custom built 500 HP, dual rotor, Wankel powered Mazda=20 RX-3 hot rod for over ten years. I built this car from the ground up. A=20 lot of friends helped me with this. I was an Electronics Technician in=20 the AF. I program in BASIC and C. I dabble in Assembly. I am learning=20 PICs and Arduinos. I have been programming computers since the 70s and I=20 have owned and repaired computers since the mid 80s. I am a Model=20 Railroader going back before I was a teenager. I have traveled all over=20 the US. I have also gone to Mexico and Canada. All opinions and feedback is greatly appreciated. I'll work on the pictures later. Thanks, rich!
