    The WidowMaker (My First custom loop ever & first post ;)

    Hey Everyone,

    To try and make it short & sweet, this is my first custom loop that I have been slowly planning and piecing together over the last few months. I have never built a loop before and needed to learn the ins and outs as I went through it. None the less it has been completed and I present to you: The WidowMaker

    The name comes from: my wife seeing the pc being built on our family dining room table for the past few months, as I was filling it up and trying to think of a name I looked over at my wife who was looking at me and it hit me.. The WidowMaker.

    -Thermaltake core p5 snow edition with full glass panels
    -*I cut out the center of the p5 case to allow the 24pin connector to connect straight on instead of being on an angle.

    -Asus Rog maximus x formula z370
    -Intel I9-9900k
    -Asus Dual Oc 2080 Ti

    -Corsair Ml120 Pro White fans
    -Corsair dominator platinum special edition contrast 3466mhz (2x16gb) set#239

        Looks cool. Like White Corsair Dominators and neat cables.

        How did you cut Glass tubes?

          Looks awesome! Makes me wish I hadn't snapped some motherboard stand-offs in my P5, basically rendering it useless, LOL!

            I used diamond plated cutting discs on a rotary air tool, than wet sanded each end of the glass to bevel them smooth. Retorched to anneal.

                Off topic, but why not drill out holes and re-tap?

                  Fantastic job Geoff! I like that you straightened out the 24 pin cable, and the way the tubing frames the GPU looks sweet.

                  Also, after doing some cabling on the dining room table for my jet engine themed build, I can relate to the title

                  Also,

                  Cheers,
                  Dave

                    Because I'm stupid and don't know how to do that? Wouldn't I have to re-tap to a larger size, therefore rendering the standard motherboard stand-offs useless?
