Intel CPU NVIDIA SLI Scratch Build Water-cooled

The build

Finally got myself to post this old build. Cleaned up the cables and fixed the path for the GPU's by making them parallel. I am now cutting out sheets of metal to cover the back where the cables go in to the side panel and also covering up the front radiator but going to cut out a circle to allow airflow from that. I'll post that once done. 2 other computer in progress as well!
