Wow, that looks really sweet! I especially like how the fluid and case match the rest of your setup!
Sorry if you mentioned this in the article, but how long did this take you, both in terms of labor and "wall clock" time? I've always been intrigued by water cooling, but it scares the heck out of me. Although the last time I did anything cooling related, I installed my cooler backwards, so maybe I should be scared 😅
From start to finish (including collecting parts) it was probably multiple years.
Once I had all the parts but the case snafu it was probably a few weeks with waiting for shipping.
Once the right case came in, I did this for the most part over about four days, a few hours each night and then 6 or so hours on a Friday night. Filled it and leak tested it the next day which took a few hours. Draining it and refilling it took about an hour or an hour and a half, too I think. So all in all probably less than 20 hours total of labor.
I'd say start-finish with all the correct parts was probably about a week elapsed by the time I had the final fluid in.
And anyone can do it with the right amount of research and planning!

Thanks very much!
