Welcome to my second build log. I'm still new to this, so please be gentle
![Image]()
I recently just finished my first ever hard tubing WC project, and ever since I laid my eyes on a Case Labs case, I want more... I will be using mostly everything from my current build, except ill be using a different pump/reservoir, and ill be adding an additional two radiators (560 and 480). Going with a Case Labs, its very hard to do a build that looks nice when almost everyone's looks the same. Trying to make this case look good, I'm 100% positive that ill be "inspired" by someone else's build, and do what they do. Ill try my best to do my own... I mean I look at ones build, and it looks identical to the one before.
This build log will go slow in terms of me completing it, as well as updating it everyday. I ordered the case today, June 24, 2015, so the case wont actually arrive for at least another 1 or 2 months give or take. Aside from that, I'm currently a pre-nursing major, so all in all, it was kind of pointless for me to purchase a Case Labs when school is my main priority. Oh well... I need some enjoyment in my life

Oh! and the name "Aquity"; I don't know. I kind of like it. So for now, the name of this build is going to be AQUITY

This was an extremely expensive case, so I plan to get all my use out of it by cramming in a total of 4 radiators, without destroying the looks of it. When I build, I will compromise performance over aesthetics.
