Hi guys this is a build log of a new watercooling / mod based around the DC Comics Green Arrow.

Like to intoduce myself i have been building and repairing computers and laptops for about 14 years water cooling for about 10 years and although i have never done any serious modding i have watched this scene closely and now want to get involved you all seem friendly here so thanks for having me

Hardware:
CPU: Intel i7 4770k
M/B: Gigabyte Sniper M5
GFX : Gainward GTX 770
Ram: Avexir Blitz Green 8Gb 1866Mhz
PSU: Corsair AX 760
SSD: Samsung EVO 840 250GB
Case: Aerocool Dead Silence Black

Cooling:
All EK waterblocks
EK & Bits Power fittings.
EK 240mm xtx Rad
EK DDC pump with heatsink and anti vibration kit
EK UV lime green coolant
Sharkoon Blade Fans

There are a few additions for the hardware and the cooling plus UV lighting here are few pics so we know this is real an not just a idea the case is going to have custom windows both size and the internals altered a little bit to house the 200mm rad at the front and am looking at getting a Front air intake Based around The Arrow with hood up my friend is sketching some designs for me to look at was orignialy going with the Gene VI board but now ordered a Sniper M5 and will only be water cooling the CPU and GPU.

Looks as a nice start, have always been a fan of the comics and watching the series now too. Looking forward to some more updates! Planning a similar build with a 200mm rad, wondering how this one guys with you before chosing on it. Good luck!! :) 'Subscribed!'
 
Thanks for the reply i will update with pics of how i will make the inside fit the micro atx board and the 200mm front rad. I have another build i have done the Xigmatek Aquila case that has the same internals as this case.
