If anyone is thinking about doing custom loops for their next build, check out these cases from Bykski / Granzon. 

They are pricey but would be worth it at the end. I like the G20 and G10. Would be fun to build on.

Very cool, but expensive too.

Over the last couple of years, I've been seeing Bykski really come along as a company. From all the reviews I've been seeing from cases to custom water cooling, I wouldn't hesitate to go with any of their products imo

They are really cool but I feel they are about 5-6 years behind. It's all just too expensive. I mean $1299 for a waterplate case just doesn't make sense. I just need something different. The cases right now are basically all the same, with some different style open air cases which I have already built on most of them. So, I am going to build on a waterplate case that I already have. I am not paying that much for any computer case. If I could,  I would build on the new Alphacool case is probably the nicest case I've seen in years, but they want a grand for it. Ridiculous!

Oh, I don't know about it being ridiculous in price.  That's one sweet looking case.

When money is no object....

$1,299.99 USD for a case that is a lot.

At that price it should be made of titanium, carbon fibre and gold...lol

It is a hard sell, especially since the current AMD lineup doesn't benefit much from additional dissipation.   You aren't going to get much better temps without doing direct die cooling.

I actually tried the Praxxis open air bench for a bit, but I didn't notice any cooling benefit. If anything I'm getting better cooling in the fractal torrent case with the high airflow.
