This is my Swiftech Storm water block that Swiftech sent to me in early 2005, if I’m not mistaken. It was a sample. First revision. Today I decided to clean it up, but it hardly needed any cleaning at all. The only thing it could possibly need is polishing, but I have no such items

I’ve almost finalized the watercooling build now although the cable management is still left, and I’m going to empty the loop once more to shorten the tubing on one place. I also had to use old tubing I had laying around since olden times because the one I bought wasn’t really to my liking —

I have recently decided to get back into watercooling again, but this time I’ll keep it very simple. On monday I will order the following items: EK-Supreme LTX EK-Reservoir Combo DCP 2.2: New case (Corsair Vengeance C70): quite small but yet with enough room for most of the components I need: (this one looks a lot
