I never saw the appeal of watercooled PCs with windows and lights, but found myself with a huge amount of time of my hands due to a serious injury that took me out of work. I decided to indulge myself one time before the idea of building such a thing is obsolete.
Here are some pics, it's a work in progress - https://imgur.com/a/WWsna#0 https://imgur.com/a/WWsna#0
The case is a Case Labs Mercury S8 with a custom powder coat. It allows the motherboard to sit horizontally. The graphics cards are Nvidia GTX 980s with custom made waterblocks. There are large radiators concealed in the top and the bottom of the case. The two round, red things you see in the pictures are Laing D5 water pumps. The 'Midnight Express' theme is inspired by the film and the music of Giorgio Moroder. A number of parts have been laser engraved with the artwork. Everything is controlled and monitored by an independent microcontroller (Aqua Computers Aquaero 6, you'll see it in the pictures.)
