Ram clearence is an issue we all know about.
And well it is happening hhere as well,
It is something to expect when trying to go all small on a computer build with watercooling.
But there are ways of fixing this ☺

Drain and fill port system in the making.

Keep in mind this is only a test fit
The final loop will be done with other piping and all the fittings will be chrome.

Thank very much,i will try my best to not dissapoint

and finally it continues...
First order of parts have arrived...
I sure love me some fittings
together with some nickel plated tubing and Alphacool flowsensor (which in my opinion is a gorgeos Design)

From the looks of this case you do great work BUT with that being said, the only thing on this case the resembles a 1929-1932 ford model A is maybe the grill and color. I guess I was expecting it to look closer to a car maybe. great work non the less.
