project motogp - thermaltake 2020 case mod challenge

[Colin Mcnally]

Hi I'm colin Mcnally from consett in durham. Iv been building gaming PC's for around 10 years when I started sim racing after moving from console's. The last 2 years iv started doing full custom water loops in mine and a few friends PC's. This will be my first themed build so I thought I would include my other hobbie/passion which is motorbikes. Project motogp will include moving parts and a motorbike stand.
I'll like to thank all the sponsors for all the hard work in these tough times for making this possible.
The first parts from scan arrived yesterday which include
ThermalTake View 51 Snow
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming
ASUS Radeon RX 5700
500GB Seagate FireCuda 520
14TB Seagate IronWolf Pro

Thermaltake Pacific V-RX 5700 Series Plus GPU Waterblock
Thermaltake Water Cooling Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit
300mm Thermaltake TtMod Sleeved Cables
300mm Thermaltake TT Premium PCIe Extender
With more parts coming soon I'll be starting my build in the next few days and will post as much as I can.

After 4 hours of trying to sort out my cables this is how it looks.

Hi all back with my weekly update and over the last week iv started to fit the waterloop.
I started with the gpu waterblock which I always get nervous doing.
When I figured out what way the pipes would run I started bending.when I got all the pipes in i filled with distilled water to test for leakes and clean the system out.
Now I've got to adjust the pipe and change the coolant to white. Its getting close now not much left to do so hopefully next week my build will be done.��
