The only thing that put's me off cases these days is this insane idea that everyone wants Tempered Glass and Rainbow Puke fans and lights.
I like the idea behind the 1000D with the watercooling support, because I always go overkill with it when I do custom loops, but it's the whole "Dark Tempered Glass" thing that I don't like.
It's the same with Hardline tubing, I like the look of it most of the times but I still prefer soft tubing done decently.
I just need to get saving now and hopefully by then, there will be some tasteful cases etc around that I actually wouldn't feel bad for buying, like most if not all on the market today.

Let me just put this here,
Do not give in to social pressure just because it's popular, you do what you like, if you want a big case without the glas, get one, if you want soft tubing, do it your way, that's the way you want it and should be respected.
Nice set of hardware tho

Don't worry that's pretty much the way I do things anyway.
I am going to probably end up looking at Ebay for a Little Devil PC-V8 or a Caselabs case at the time, as either one of them are cases I have wanted for years and support a mass amount of watercooling.

Only issue was someone had put two holes in the fabric for a headrest.

Said I'd let you know about the hub man it's bloody genius got all my fans hooked up to it and it means just one lead to a pwm fans header and one to the rgb connector on the board and because it's sata powered you aren't sucking juice from the pwm header, would definitely recommend and use again myself

I am very surprised I haven't heard more about this because I agree with you it does sound pretty genius! Glad you are enjoying it. If I ever get a window for my ITX case I may try to find an excuse and figure out how to benefit from it.

That actually looks pretty good. Not like vomit like most RGB builds.

Welcome to the 3950x club
4.2 stable here @1.34375v , anything lower crashes.
Try to increase your power limits in PBO, this will give you a lot more performance for same clocks and volts but only if your cooling can handle it.
I'm hitting 91c with the power limits extended and a Cinebench 20 score of around 9870.

Good to know.
I just used my companies Swedish VPN and tested on a different steam account with purchasing an item. So seems it accepted my norwegian bank details, provided that the Swedish address was legit. I have hope
Shame the Nok is HAMMERED. When I ordered it was 10k.. its 11.2k now. If it falls any more I might need to cancel. :S
So if the Swedish adress isn't legit, it'll get sent back and you'll have lost money for shipping and both needing to order it again and wait longer for it to arrive?

Power limit in PBO? What is the "Power Limit" and what/where exactly is PBO? Is that in the BIOS or? Since I've put my 3700X at 4GHz at 1.130V due to having a 92mm AIO in a very compact case, so needed to get the temps as low as possible. But I only changed the CPU frequency ratio and the CPU Core Voltage.

Oh its completely legit, its an old colleague. My worry was the payment. I wait 8weeks for the item, and if I cant pay in time, my slot gets handed to someone else and im at square one again.

Right well hopefully the nightmare will finally be over. I HATE shopping for monitors. I wouldn't even mind so much, but stock is literally vanishing every minute I search.
I went for the XG32VQR.
I may have to run it at 120hz for Gsync to work properly (some report flickering at 144) but that is fine. TBH like every time I've bought a new monitor over the past ten years it's been a harrowing experience.

I would of gone for 4k on a 32", I find 1440p@27" really the max size for that resolution (my personal taste).

Each to their own but I had a 32" 1440P Samsung a few years ago, Really wasn't that nice to my eyes.
