    Curved monitors are strange in games, especially on fps. After that its a habit to take, but personally I dont like this.

    Whilst technically the tower isn't that big it is big as it's meant to be an "On the desk" tower.
    Whilst in general pretty cool looking I prefer the industrial under the desk big tower style

    That said .. if you want 1 of those, go for it, it is pretty cool.

    Dimension (H x W x D) 752 x 423 x 483 mm (29.6 x 16.7 x 19 inch)

    That's huge for me, compared to my P3 at 512 x 333 x 470 mm (20.2 x 13.1 x 18.5 inch)

    Theres the WP100 for "industrial underdesk style"
    Dimension (H x W x D) 878 x 310 x 678 mm
    (34.6 x 12.2 x 26.7 inch)

    He can't even go under the desk, Its too high for it
    Well that depends on your desk doesn't it?

    Seriously though he's made some cool ones using that tower, go for it, splurge a little!

    I think I'll buy it but the case and the entire loop it's around 1k €

    Well... not really that big.

    I mean like, a lot of the case manufacturers are passing on HDD cages and the like, now.

    If there were a really nice full tower that wasn't obnoxious, maybe I'd go back to full towerdom. Speaking of nice full towers...
    @ShimZ-VIII they have a custom Thermaltake Core P3 liquid cooled rig at my local Chicago Micro Center for $3,000 (full system) and it's just GORGEOUS.

    I didnt really calculate, but

    EK-CoolStream XE 480 *2 265€
    CPU EK-SUPREMACY EVO - Full Nickel *2 172€
    WaterBlock VGA EK-FC1080 GTX Strix - Nickel / Plexi *2 264€
    Top + Pompe EK-XTOP Revo D5 PWM - Plexi *2 234€
    EK-MultiOption RES X3 - 820ml *2 120€
    Nzxt Aer 120mm *16 480€
    EK-FC Bridge TRIPLE Parallel CSQ PLEXI 25€

    That's not the entire loop and you already need 1560€, without the case (250€), the tubs and filling, for a separated loop including a 5.2GHz I7, a GTX10 SLI, one bridge, and one moba (VIII Formula).

    That's FR price

    Yowwww! A 10 year old HDD? Frame that relic and get something new!

    SSDs are like HDDs, without platters or other moving parts, but instead use memory chips similar to what is on RAM sticks, and thus are incredibly faster.

    I'd seriously replace that power supply too, dunno how it's stuck it through the years, suppose the low load hasn't stressed it enough.

    If you upgraded, you could experience a whole new world, pretty much! XD

    That's about what I calculated a custom loop would cost me, and I decided to just stick a Noctua on the CPU and be done with it.

    Separated loop. One loop with the moba and the CPU, one other with the 1070s. Then you don't share the CPU/Moba TDP to the GPUs, neither the reverse.

    So if you have a big load on CPU but nothing on GPUs, your GPUs will remain cooler than if you have a shared loop. Its the same in the opposite case.

    You won't need two CPU blocks or a triple bridge, you don't need push/pull with 2 coolstream 480's (though I don't know that fan and have never bought for rgb )as you will still be able to run the fans at low rpm and gain little from running separate loops. 960mm of radiator and a D5 is plenty for a single loop with moderately restrictive components in, the GPU's will still be at 45-50c under full load. Clearly if you are after dual colour loops then you have to split it.

    Watercooling is an investment, only GPU blocks will not out live the build, everything else is largely platform independent.

    As DonGenaro say's. You don't need all that for two loops and you REALLY don't need two cpu blocks. No need to go overkill just because of a costum water loop. I cheaper loop will still give you a super look and all the cooloing you will ever need
