Welcome to my re-exploration into mini-ITX water-cooling! My first custom water-cooled build was "completed" not too long ago and I just wasnt satisfied with the build due to money and time constraints. With this build I really want to take my time and do the best I can with the resources and tools I have. I want to keep the scheme straightforward, no crazy mods, and very minimalistic. I will be using this computer for casual gaming,
Mercury S3
This is my first Caselabs case and I am very excited to build with it. The prodigy was a great introduction of mini-ITX cooling for me but I feel that the S3 will be a better home for my parts and design.
Components
Most of my main components will be coming from my Prodigy build. I upgraded the GTX 760 to a 770 and I would like to upgrade my motherboard to a Stinger or Rampage but I am working with a tight budget right now.
Water-cooling
This part however will not be from my old build and I have bought almost entirely new components.
