Check out my first novel, midnight's simulacra!
Schwarzgerät III

The new radiator will be installed on the roof of the CPU side of the case, and becomes the first cooling element on the return path. It will feed the existing radiator. Water tubing will all be moved to the top of the case, eliminating the ungainly bottom loop currently present. PrimoChill ¾" antikink coils will be added to the water tubing. The card reader will be moved to below the front fan, for less obtrusive USB cabling. Four hard drives from the PSU side will be moved to onboard SATA ports. The four (currently unused) 2.5" spinning disk slots will take over the PCIe connects from these drives.
