Hey Everyone! My name is Jason, aka TuxedoFlamingo. Some of you might already know me, but I'm an enthusiast watercooled pc builder in the States. Along with this build log, you can follow the progress of the build on my Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. So about this build. First off, HUGE shout out and thank you to the awesome team at Aquatuning, aka Alphacool. Without them, this build would never be happening. All of the watercooling components were supplied by Alphacool. The rest of the components were purchased by me. This will be my personal rig and the "flagship" to my brand, TuxedoFlamingo. Heres what Im planning, obviously subject to change as the build progresses. Lian Li PC-O11wgx ROG Edition case - This thing is STUNNING! The main difference of the ROG edition is the ability to run up to three 360mm radiators. Intel i7-8700k 6-Core Aorus Z370 Gaming 7 Motherboard - I am in love with these boards. This one is so clean and industrial looking. Aorus GTX1080ti Waterforce - Matching the board is one thing, but with the beautiful factory waterblock is outstanding. 4x8gb GSkill Ripjaws V 3200mhz ram Samsung 950 Pro 256gb m.2 drive Samsung 850 Pro 1tb ssd Samsung 850 Pro 512gb ssd Western Digital Black 2tb hdd EVGA 850 G3 power supply Blacknoise Noiseblocker NB-eloop 120mm fans - These were also sponsored!

Ill try to label them as I go. Borosilicate Glass tubing This will be an ongoing build. I am going to have some custom parts made, and the glass tubing is going to be very challenging (cant bend it lol). All comments welcome and I hope you enjoy it. Here are some preliminary glam shots of the parts. *SIDE NOTE* - This is crossposted on the OCN forums and Reddit as well. Dont be surprised if you see it more than once.
So I started working on test fitting the radiators. And right away, my first roadblock. I planned to run three identical 360x45mm rads. One top, one bottom, and one behind the mobo tray. As you can see here, the top rad and fans blocks. The fittings for the rear rad. So back to brainstorming
Sorry its been a while since you guys have heard from me. Been a very busy, and stressful holiday season. I have finally gotten the final revision of the custom vertical gpu bracket and acrylic brace. It will be illuminated as well. The excellent work was done by KillrMods on Instagram! Give him a follow! Now we can finish gathering all the adapters and fittings to make this all line up. Stay Tuned!
