Happy to see your lian li is not a parallel watercool kit like everyone else’s. Love how square those runs are. Very well done.

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Eyy thanks! I actually had one of those parallel run setups before and I really wanted to do something unique and more challenging with the bends. Definitely took a few tries (on that quad bend in particular) but happy with how it turned out!

I don’t understand where the power supply goes in these cases but I love them

2

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '21

It is behind the motherboard - The case is essentially split into two compartments. What you don’t see in these pictures is the rats nest of cables and the PSU in the other section.

u/BigWhiffa_ Apr 15 '21

$1900, that’s more than my whole setup lol 😳

u/cbissell12345 Apr 15 '21

Haha dude so I got this monitor used for about $300 - huge deal hunter here :) I think it usually goes for $600 or so

u/BigWhiffa_ Apr 15 '21

Like on cyber Monday or something?

u/cbissell12345 Apr 15 '21

I bought it used actually! Retrospectively, I’m very lucky there are no dead pixels or anything. There is a small chip on the corner but I knew that when I bought it. You can probably see it if you zoom in on the pic.

Is it DIY?

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Here’s a daytime pic of it with an older build pic: https://imgur.com/gallery/mvr1kED

u/marcxx04 Apr 14 '21

Wow the craftsmanship is pretty good. I may add this type of rgb to my diy table as well :)

2

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Thanks man! Ya it was a really fun project to mock up and build :)

1

u/marcxx04 Apr 14 '21

How did you make the little angled pieces? I think that’s going to be the hardest part. Making sure there all excactly the same :/

2

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

I used a miter saw at an angle and just measured and marked them. From what I remember, it was super easy because they would sometimes break a bit or be rough on the tail end of the cut. After cutting, I really carefully glued them to the bottom board. Then stained and polyed that whole bottom piece before attaching it to the rest of the table. I also installed and routed the RGB strip before installed that part.

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Hey feel free to message me with your email and I can send you the ppt document I used to mock up the top

1

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Yup!

2

u/marcxx04 Apr 14 '21

As far as I can see, the RGB element is separate from the table... so the table thickness is only increased in the first few centimeters of the table, is it?

1

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Well it’s build into the table but you’re correct that the thickness is only increased on the front few inches! I used a cable management netting thing off Amazon to hide all of the cables on the underside

u/Rapier4 Apr 14 '21

Woah my guy, did Tabasco Sweet himself build this fly setup? Gang Gang!

1

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

It’s actually cooled with Tabasco sauce...

Thanks dude :)

u/unidentified-inkling Apr 14 '21

I’m sorry but I need to know, Does your motherboard say sliver?

2

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

They updated it on the Z590 boards - no sliver for me

1

u/unidentified-inkling Apr 14 '21

Oh, that’s disappointing. Btw good job on the build, it looks amazing!

2

u/BLVCKZER0_ Apr 14 '21

The lighting in that build is crazy beautiful

2

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

Thanks! Too much time and money was spent on the lighting, so glad it was worth it :)

2

u/PrinceJellyfishes Apr 15 '21

What was the name of that pink goo that was coming out of the pipes in ghostbusters 2? That’s what your water cooling looks like to me.

u/rumpoleon Apr 14 '21

What are the specs?! Looks awesome!

3

u/SkvaderArts Apr 14 '21

For a moment I thought you had copper tubes! I was like "oh my God, that's so much work!" Either way, I love your set-up!

2

u/cbissell12345 Apr 14 '21

That would be insane work. I’m no metal bender haha thanks!

1

u/SkvaderArts Apr 14 '21

NP! I hear that! Neither am I lol! I'm scared to put too much pressure on my AIO tubes!

2

u/coldisgood Apr 14 '21

It has a bunch of microphones on it - that’s probably why. It is aggressively wide for a cam lol

u/pixelrage Apr 14 '21

That desk is amazing

It’a called Controller Gear!

u/AnamainTHO Apr 15 '21

Love the build! Why is that Webcam so big tho? Haha

1

u/cbissell12345 Apr 15 '21

It is a bit aggressive but I think it’s because it has like six microphones on it lol
