This is my first machine with internal lighting, and also my first to use custom-designed parts (both mechanical and electric). I learned [https://openscad.org/ OpenSCAD] and improved my 3d printing techniques during this build, and also extended my knowledge of electronics, cooling, and fluids. I also developed a better understanding of power distribution. In that regard―and also with regards to the final product―I consider the build a complete success. | This is my first machine with internal lighting, and also my first to use custom-designed parts (both mechanical and electric).

I bought the Corsair iCUE Commander Core Pro after having been informed that it had a Linux driver. Unfortunately, this driver only provides control of the fans. I extended it, along with OpenRGB, to fully support the device. These patches will of course make their ways upstream. I must say that it's incredibly satisfying to use a computer for which you wrote code and designed parts. In the future, I'd like to try fabricating my own chassis, and perhaps even my own PSU. | |||
I'm not sure where else I can go with this machine. There doesn't appear to be much useful work I can do beyond what I've aleady done.

An entirely custom water loop with redundant D5 pumps (either can drive the entire loop, though of course with less flow). I can partially drain and fill the loop without touching anything through the externally-mounted Kinetic FLT. Full draining and optimal filling proceed via the 5.25"-mounted Monsoon, sitting at the bottom of the case; this requires removing the USB bay installed above it. | An entirely custom water loop with redundant D5 pumps (either can drive the entire loop, though of course with less flow).
