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

I would Kill for a Fractal Design Define XL R3 that has 3 x 140mm intake and 2 x 140mm exhaust (back, not top) and still retain 2 x 5,25" slots which can be converted to another 1 x 140mm fan spot if removed.
I would be a very happy man if that were to come out, like you said... some of us still love Big Towers.
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)

I think I'll buy it but the case and the entire loop it's around 1k €
But a nicer one would look soooooo much nicer still!

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.
Unbelievable GTS 250 1gb
Endless GoodRam 2gb RAM 1333mhz
Undying (now this is true!) Intel Pentium Dual-Core 3.06ghz with standart intel cooler.
Some random 2 ram slot (up to 4gb each, yay), 1 gpu slot motherboard.
Some Chinese VENTO 500wt power supply!
1tb HDD which is 7y.o. old, and 120gb 10 y.o. HDD.
What is SSD?
17 y.o. Keyboard.
Bought all this stuff (except 10.y.o. HDD and keyboard) in 2010.
Still works on recommended (about medium, 4x texture quality). Nighthold is laggy tho. Alluriel and Bota about 15 fps, but Krosus is like 35-40!

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

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.
