Finally got my build done; it's pretty ugly on the inside, but that can be cleaned up over time. I'm going to cut and crimp some shorter wires for the loop's thermal probe, cut, crimp and sleeve the aquaero's bits, and hope a J-HACK arrives at some point. Some notes: * the finished product...

Sorry to hear it's the end of the road for a while; happy to hear the GPU brackets should be independently available, and I'm glad I managed to get my order in on Kickstarter when I did. All the best for your next product :). I see another expensive niche product (the Keyboardio Model 01s) are...

My case has been sitting waiting for a wee while now; patiently waiting on a few parts (quick disconnects, Apogee Drive II, connectors for a Corsair PSU so that I can cut my own cables) to arrive. Shipping to New Zealand isn't particularly quick at the best of times, and during a pandemic with...

Excellent, thanks so much :).

Anyone got a recommendation for slim 140mm fans? Just discovered the waterblock for my GPU is ~2mm too tall (maybe 3mm), and given this is my first WC build + it's out of stock + global shipping is stuffed, I'm not too keen to attempt sanding it at this point.

Mine's shipped -- and on the exact same day as the GPU block I ordered in January. Exciting.

About 7:07 into this video, he mentions using a much smaller case earlier the same day with the same setup, and getting better temps than the huge case in this video. Guessing that's a surprise endorsement for the Winter One ;).

Thanks, this is really useful info -- I've been very keen on a Barrow and the Linus video gave me hope I could run one. This will be harder than the video made it look, but is still in the realms of the doable.

Meanwhile, I really liked the Linus video. It's entertainment, he praises/is obviously impressed with the case, and yeah, he obviously has a hard time with water cooling in the case but there's _plenty_ of stuff in there that'll help me when my case finally arrives/lessons that could be applied...
