Going to try and fit all of this material in this Fractal Arc MIDI R2 case. How you ask? I have no clue but it's all going in.

Is that a screen on the drive bay?

Yes Sir. About the only thing I could find that would somewhat fit right.

Moving right along, aren't we?  How does that water block mount to the four posts around the CPU?  I don't see any screws exposed at the top.


As Albert Einstein said, "I could have done so much more with a Big Al's Computer!".

There is a hex key that allows you to use that backplate to mount it. I’ll post some pics of it later. Got everything piped. Time to start testing the loops. 

It is a hex key on the end of an allen head and it fits in the backplate hole and you screw counter-clockwise to tighten.

It has snowed about a foot so far here. We had a little break enough to go shovel the sidewalks and clean off the trucks. Suppose to start up again in the next 30 mins and dump another 12-18" on us. 

8:30 a.m.8:30 a.m.1 p.m. with 12-18" more due by the morning.1 p.m. with 12-18" more due by the morning.

Had both loops filled and running and a nasty noise like a jet engine crash landing came out of my 240-res pump. I have heard this sound before and new instantly it was DOA. Fast tracked a new pump and upgraded to the lcd version to match the 360-res pump and everything is running smooth.

Have some loose ends to finish up and waiting on my 90 degree HDMI and USB-C adapters for the front monitor and then I will clean it up and take some good photos. Ran a quick Firestrike bench everything at stock settings. Turned out pretty clean I think.
