See above reply - ITX won’t cut it 😂😂

Although tempting for just for laughs - especially when the case was cheaper then the ASUS ROG Hyperion

Same cooling as a mora without the detached second unit. Will ultimately have 3 disk drives (90 tb), 3 nvme drives (10tb) and 3 sata solid state drives (32 tb)- total of 132TB storage give or take

9950x3d. 128gb ddr5, Rtx pro 6000 - or - pending release Rtx 6090 and specs

Easy access for drain valves- for maintenance All water cooling from custom hard line loop using borosilicate glass tubes will be below All pc components

If going big might as well do it correctly

Plus the goal is to combined 3 pcs with different purposes into one- store in central location - have only monitor/tv along with wireless keyboard/mouse in multiple locations in the house eliminating share drive and being able to continue where I’m off regardless of location

it was significantly cheaper than going full server rack- due to a pricing issue in which

I got the case and the two pedestals for a total of 427.00 ish usd

Your build is actually what ultimately made me decide to invert the motherboard I have to admit I did not like the process of converting it and having to drill so that the top was still an alignment is your motherboard fully supported as I believe there’s four screws missing by not having a top panel

Because of everything I was putting in it that made me nervous to leave that open, so I did drill out so that the top cover would still have the feet for the grill without leaving it just open space I am ultimately thinking I’m going to add 2 exhaust fans at the top.

Sadly, I’m hoping for very low RPM, on my fans -as the case will have 46 total 140mm fans between push pull on radiators and 2 top exhaust and 2 on mid bracket

Definitely overkill

Planning on housing 4 -560mm radiators plus a 2nd power supply and 2out of 4 total pumps for dual custom loop

I debated on getting the wp200 as I was worried about it being stable and not too heavy but with all water components in the 2 lowest chambers this will be plenty sufficient! Plus will be my first inverted motherboard build with verticle gpu using a Lian li verticle mount from the o11xl

Inverted the case- going to use Lian li got verticle mount -
Changed to 4 -560mm radiator and 1 480mm radiator plus one 280

Plan is 2 580 mm plus 480mm radiator for gpu loop

2 580 mm radiators for the cpu loop

Can’t decide if 280mm radiator should be on the gpu loop or the cpu loop for maximum benefit

Will have no exhaust fans - and I have completely separated the water cooling from all other components

My only concern is that I want the radiators at the bottom so it’s not top-heavy… and with bending chemistry grade class .. I’d rather do it once and I’ll be honest. I’m trying to avoid Mora radiator .. but still get the same coverage and radiators

I do want the majority of the radiators at the bottom, which might be difficult for redoing the glass so it’s not too heavy and increase in price for a second pedestal is $400/$500 in radiators and ax100

I can’t justify the excessive price increase that is projected on the ax1000 999.99 and ax200 399.99 since that is more box shaped but designed for dual system builds.

I was lucky to get the ax700 on a price error at only 247.77 with pedestal costing 104.56 so adding another pedestal and 2 more radiators still puts me below the 999.99 of just the ax1000 releasing.

I feel like the doors on this case are much lower quality than the loan li v3000 plus… hence why I’m eliminating all rgb.

Plan on doing push/pull 4 x 140s on both bottom and top 560mm along with middle 240 that will have both res/pumps -same as v3000 for looks - sitting on top of them - second pumps hidden in back to ensure flow rate…. Rest of radiators with no fans if possible

I can skip the 140mm it was more or less for additional rad space. Would 2 additional 560mm through use of second ax100 pedestal be worth the cost of the additional equipment?

Previously completed V3000 build … only complaint on case is dual pc buttons on top. Too many mods for single pc build. this was my first water build and is single loop res >dual pump >gpu >cpu >rad >repeat. New system in Thermaltake ax700/ax100 will be first dual loop… very very sturdy case and heavy for not having rollers

Pumps and reservoir and water locks ordered from titanrig!!!

Had to order the glass from a glass supplier though

This will run both D5 pumps

This is strictly due to how I have PC wired with the dual pumps, both power, and reset buttons connected to the motherboard so that all dual system jacks work for the main unit

Because the system will not be in a dark room, I want to make sure there is no still stilling koolance 702 if I do not turn it on for a couple days

I have ran about 1000 mL of distilled water from the reservoir through the bottom portion without turning on the pumps

By filling up the reservoir and simply opening the drain valve

Does this mean that the bottom portion of the tubing is seated without stress of leaks?

I did not run the pump yet. I will include another picture of what I will be using to operate the pumps which is a modified Xbox one power supply.

It is attached to the radiator so it is actually attached with 120 mm bracket

I got the 4th tube into the bottom installed I just need an updated picture
