I posted in another section about the beginning of my water cooling adventure in the NZXT Phantom but I think this section is more fitting. I started the build roughly a month ago and I have progressively added more and more to it. The goal of the build was to make a very clean, unique build that would last me a while and would be of professional quality. Every step of the build went smooth as silk and turned out far better than I ever expected. The coolest part about it is comparing it to some of my first modded builds. I've built 25+ computers for myself, friends, and family and each time I do one I gain a little more experience and refine my skill more. This build has definitely earned me far more experience than any other and I think of it as my first finished build.
If you followed the log for adding the 120.3 up top then you'll notice I've moved the res, remounted the pump, modded the drive area, and added a 120.2 rad with push/pull in the bottom.
Here's the hardware installed:
And here's the cooling equipment:
I will post final pics as soon as I upload them, but you can tell how it look pretty much already by the pics below.
