Awesome rigs, so I went backwards and am now on air and not water as the maintenance and my case size (old was a Core X9) was massive and I realized if we had to evacuate due to a fire ect. I (or family member) was never gonna get the pc down the stairs alone. I can now pick my system up again since it's in a Fractal Define R5 (still weighs a lot) which in terms of build quality is leagues above the Core X9 and my old Switch 810 in my opinion. Still silent on an NH-D15 and my temps are higher sure but this pc is mostly just for work and feeds a projector now.
My systems use home made water cooling with hard tubing.
Not only do they run cool but I can position things where I want them so it doesn't stop me from getting to things; like the ram if need be.
My two computers are in (My System Specs). Neither of them is a tuck under your arm and carry about.
I had a Asus X58 motherboard that was very sensitive to the tightness of the water block screw tightness. If I tighten them to much I would loose the ram close to the cpu. It took me a while to figure out that problem.
I also don't walk well but I'm getting better. Only have to use a cane on bad days. My lady friend caries my groceries from the car to the kitchen and she is 5' 1" and about 110 pounds. I can do one trip from the car and carry things to the kitchen but that is it. She makes the other 3 or 4 trips.
This damn getting old is hard work.
I waiting for some one to carry my Phanteks Premo to the work bench so I can do some work on it.
If the house caught fire, I would grab my Gentlemen Jack and my cat and go to the street.
My last build.

Laptop is a MSI GE40-2OC gaming notebook running Windows 10 and offcourse, iRacing Just finished this
New guts. I don't think I have a stellar 8700k. I get 48x @ 1.28v vcore stable with IBT, prime95 that I think is good for 24x7. But if I want to go higher I think I will have to delid as the temps are too high. Yeah, I know, RGB
Hi,
Never really finished are we :)
x299 got another 240 rad and a new titan Xp
Not all that impressed so far too much throttling going on with the titan Xp needs water I suppose :/
Even added a new ek 280 performance loop to the x99 blue juice of course
Hand me down 1080ti also it was indeed jealous
Memory missing is on rma to corsair not expected till mid next week
First rebuild PC. Dell did an alright job. I did my first mod making it better by adding an intake fan.
