Hey all. So I bit the bullet and bought a Case Labs Product. Wow! What a beauty!
This is my first "non-novice build" I am attempting. Full liquid cooling. Will be a slow build, but should be completed early 2014.






I have the white matte edition.
  • Front radiator 240mm mount
  • Top radiator 240mm mount
  • Two doors with 1/2 windows.

I will update with pics with every order. Suggestions please!!!! I would like to OC this rig. I do not plan on liquid cooling GPU.



What I currently Have:
  • Case Labs Mercury S3
  • Swiftech H20-X20 all in one Liquid Cooling unit
  • 1TB WD 7200RPM
  • 775 Thermaltake Tough Power Supply
  • Two XSPC 1650 Radiator Fans
  • G skill Ripjaws Ram 4x2gb 1666
  • Windows 7 Pro

Additions to complete system:
Haswell Processor ~240$
1150 ITX Motherboard ~Whatever is good for the price. Do not need Wifi.
128 gb SSD ~<99$
Nvidia 770 ~330$
More bitspower fittings ~70$
1/2 X 3/4 OD Tubing ~30$
CPU Block ~70$
Cable sleeving ~40$

First order for parts 12/11/13 (Arriving on 12.16.13)
  • XSPC AX120 Single 120mm Radiator w/ Aluminum Enclosure - White 70$
  • Two 120mm Noiseblocker E-loop fans - 50$
  • Bits power fitting: 90 degree rotating compression fitting ~18$
  • Bits power fitting: 45 degree rotating compression fitting ~16$
  • Two silverstone white 140mm fan filters. - 8$
  • Lampron Fan controller FC6 20w. Black (should arrive late this week/early next week) - 53$

Next order ~12/23/13-12/29/13 Any tweaks to this order?
  • Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI-LGA 1150 ITX Motherboard?
  • Intel I5 4670K 1150 CPU?


So this is what I am working with. 45 degree rotational compression fittings up top, 90 degree compression fittings up front Vise Versa. CPU block most likely will have 45 or 90 degree?? Not sure about this.. Small loop in a small case.
