So building a small budget gamer rig for my son for his birthday, and since that is the 18th of december I have a deadline that is coming up fast.
First specs:
Chassis: Fractal Design Define Nano S
Motherboard: Biostar x370gtn
Ram: 2x4 GB DDR4 3600mhz CL18
SSD: Samsung Evo 970+ 250Gb
CPU: Ryzen 2600X
GPU: Gigabyte 10606GB
Fans: 3x Arctic P12 PST PWM RGB
PSU: Corsair CX430
Cooling componenst:
Final specs:
Chassis: Fractal Design Define Nano S
Motherboard: ASRock A520M-ITX/ac
Ram: 2x8 GB DDR4 3600mhz CL16
SSD: Samsung Evo 970+ 1Tb
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Asus 1070 Ti
Fans: 3x Arctic P12 PST PWM RGB
PSU: Corsair TX550
Water cool loop:
I had a radiator, hose, cooling head with pump from my last itx radio build.
Then I also had a small brake fluid reservoir from a bike and after a bit of modifying the lid a small custom loop was made
The bracke reservoir came with a small bracket, so modified the top so it can be mounted inside the case:
We got a nice laser cutter for acrylic, paper etc at work so gave that a go.
I made a full plate for the cabinet side and the a paper sheet so I could spray paint the inside (3 layers) also did the same with the front:
A pic of the inside, still need to mount the water cooling loop and one RGB fan.
