I don't know about you, but I still have some leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner on Monday. It got me thinking that I have a bunch of hardware leftovers too! From old builds, ones where I changed my plans, stuff I bought but never got around to using... Plus a few years ago I bought a big box of someone else's leftovers on Kijiji. So it isn't necessarily done exactly the way I might usually proceed, but it's fun to make the best of the parts I have on hand!
The one new item in the lot, I think of it as a tempered glass serving dish for my leftovers. I'll do some minor tasteful mods on the case to improve the looks and performance.
Components:
EVGA DG-77 Case (N00B!)
Asus X99-A II
I7-5930k
16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666
XFX R9 390X 8GB
EVGA 750G2
Seagate 2TB 7200RPM
Sandisk 128GB SSD
Cooling et cetera:
Swiftech MCR220
EKWB Coolstream SE 120
EKWB Coolstream XTX 120
EKWB Supremacy with EVO upgrade
EKWB 290X full cover GPU block
Liang D5 strong pump with Bitpower "S" type D5 top
BP acrylic 250mm reservoir
3/8ID clear soft tubing and Feser nickle plated fittings
DEEPCOOL RF120 RGB fans
DEEPCOOL RGB 200EX
RGB strips from EVO RGB, Heatkiller GPU block
Mods:
Offset front tempered glass to allow better air flow
Modify 290X waterblock to fit 390X
Allow top mount rad
Remove paint and decal from tempered glass case side panel
Custom bracket for CPU block lighting strip
Custom bracket to adapt Heatkiller RGB strip to BP pump top
Pump and reservoir mounts
Custom reservoir RGB trim/bracket
Leftover leftovers (stuff I was considering using on this build, but didn't!):
3x Bitfenix orange LED fans
140mm Tt orange LED fan
XSPC Raystorm CPU block
Seagate 3TB 7200RPM (had a sporadic issue so replaced it with the 2TB)
1 Deep Cool RGB strip (tried 2 on the res but 1 looked better)
