Trestles "boredom prevails" caselabs S8 rebuild

[trestles126]

Well even towards the end of my phanteks build I kicked myself for not going with a caselabs. So with work being off the chart with going on 7 straight weeks of 84 hour weeks and having some extra cheddar I just put a order in for a caselabs s8 case to swap my parts into. I learned a lot from the phanteks build and I'm hoping it turns out even better.

-caselabs s8 case in charcol grey with black inside except for the main horizontal tray will be gray as well the case will have

Windows on both side panels with vents in the left, window up front with a drop in vented 2x120, top will be window Plus 3x120 drop in

Plan on running my d5 and ek resivor in my left front window of the d5. A 240 ek radiator in the front vertically with the drop in mount. A new 360 ek rad up top to the right, and my ek 240 xtx thick rad on the side with the drop in 360 mount and mount a intake fan where the radiator ends with a HD cage in that same lower left compartment .

Few questions on maybe a place to find some parts.

Now that frozen Cpu is down I only have performance pcs in the states. For this build I need the following. Seams all the parts but the Aquabay are in stock but from like 3 different stores I'd buy from daz though a tad more expensive if I could make one bigger purchase


The hardest being the Aquacmputer Aqua bay for the aquatube resivoir in BLACK and the wide body that fits in the 5.25 bay. Any leads?


A -360 EK PE radiator
- ek copper/ clear acrylic 4 wide ram block

- 2 sets of 2 ram monarch heat heat sinks from EK

And some fittings.

You can also buy from http://www.aquatuning.us/ but not sure what the selection / shipping options are like. Question though: why the 2 reservoirs? I did the same thing on my first water build, but quickly ditched the bay res.

Un decided on the aquatube up front will have two open bays and already have all the parts from my luxe build prob can't sell it for much and always loved the aquatube res as I stated for the reason in my last build no performance gain pure looks !

Ordered the radiator the ram block yesterday from pc performance found the black aquatube resivour on that aquatune website but need to find another 40 bucks In Parts before they will ship to usa

Hopefully being local caselabs speeds up the process still probably 20 days out

Really? Damn website says USA and Canada on it, so you'd figure you wouldn't need a MINIMUM order. That sucks!

[trestles126]

I have almost everything including the aquatube res hooded ordered one more 360 radiator and a ram block didn't wanna not use the aquatube res in the new build cause it'll just get put in storage

[trestles126]

Ordered a aquacomputer filter, a aquero 6 heatsink, and a aquatube black Aquabay for the res off aquatune today shipping to Cali anyone have experience in the states?

This looks pretty good Trestles.
Now I see why you put that aqua rez in there.

as for your shipping, prolly has to do with Aqua parts coming from Germany first?

[Bartacus]
