Nice setup, how much did that waterkit cost you? P.s. Love the rocket ships on the wall lol

Edit* Did you buy all the parts new? How did you build that for so cheap? Or did you use parts from an old build?
 
Looks nice indeed!

EDIT: Tom it looks like its a Laing D5 pump, i reconize a bit of the standard top it comes with, look through the holes in the drive bays, first pic.
 
Tom its a laing D5 which I got for free of a guy as he taught I was a nice person

. Monitor I bought for 40euro broke and fixed it and minus the utgard everything was bought second hand.
 
Yea like the rocket ships myself

there my kids had them from when he was living with me.

It cost me about 100 euro in total which is abour 65-70 sterling for the Watercooling loop but I did get the pump for free.

The loop order is Res, pump, rad, cpu. First watercooled build so not too sure if is right.
 
Edit: Everything bar the keyboard, mouse, second monitor (silver one) and os was bought in the 600 budget including the desk.

Had to be really smart with my cash as going to go back to uni and money is going to be tight so did the best I could on the budget
