Welcome to my first ever water cooling build. I've always wanted to build the smallest water cooled rig possible in a windowed case.
My first thought was to use the EVGA Hadron air a while back but when Lian-Li released the PC-Q10, I immediately fell in love with it.
The aluminum case and large window to show off the components was perfect. My goal was to put in 2 (yes 2!) 120 rads inside the case.
I had the idea that it might fit when I saw how short the reference 970's were when an EK water block is installed. With the emergence
of high quality SFX PSU's, I could definitely place a bottom radiator in push pull configuration beside the graphics card.
