A little mock up after about 3 hours of measuring cutting and assembly, but let's back up a bit....

Started at Lowe's, I had always planned to make a new Ryzen3000s build that was over the top, this is going to be it. The exterior of the case will act as tubing for the watercooler, I intend to tap into then to create a custom loop after I finish the design. I bought 3/4" and 1/2" PVC elbows and a few Ts, word of advice for DIYers, just buy the baggies they're cheaper and will save you more trips to the store ?

Bought couple 10' lengths of either 3/4" or 1/2" just in case I want to resize parts I got a little extra.

The exterior frame with the motherboard cradle carrier elbows.

Testing fitment. ? So most of the measurements came out alright. I undershot the final height by a few cm, so a low profile cooler would be needed if I ever decide to change my mind....or longer legs but no backing out now!


I decided that the PVC will definitely be a static box and I'd hate to short my computer so we're gonna mock up some metal plates for the motherboard to stand off of. I also need solutions that don't piece the PVC as it must remain uncompromised for the waterloop.

Tied up just a little tape and some old cardboard for ya.

View from the backside with cardboard front plate that I might need to fabricate.


When the final product is done I think I want a full plate across the front with a cutout for the fans, but I'm still trying to work the specifics out in my head.

I put three fans I had lying around just to get an idea it's look. Next up is the actual motherboard plate, I think I'm going with a 360mm radiator on the front, definitely triple fan for airflow but still considering a "custom" radiator that sits underneath.
Keep an eye out for updates..... Though they may be sporadic with my work schedule.
Thanks for reading!

Run blood through the PVC or it's not cool enough.
