Changes and Clarifications

So, as I had mentioned in an earlier post I have minor changes to my build that I had identified when I began to further plan the project.

The biggest change is the additional radiator I am using. I originally posted in my entry that I was going to use two 2x120mm radiators. Actually if you look closer at the original entry, on one of my mock up pictures I had made, I had labeled the radiator a the front of the case would be a 3x120mm. Apparently my subconscious is psychic and saw into the future that I would indeed be using a 3x120mm radiator...

With that being said, I will be actually using my original 2x120mm radiator, and an additional 3x120mm radiator. Reason for changing: when I went to go order additional water cooling parts, the Fesser One TFC Triple Xchanger (3x120mm) radiator was onsale. It was still cheaper for a Swiftech 2x120mm radiator, or even the Fesser One TFC Dual Xchanger (2x120mm) radiator, but the 3x120mm radiator should be able to transfer heat much better.

Next, Interior case color will change from being red, to blue. Reason: ASUS P7P55 motherboards use a nice blue theme. Why fight it? there really is no way of changing it.

Now with going with a blue theme, I will be getting blue UV reactive tubing, opposed to using clear tubing and coolant dye.

I will also be trying to change the color theme of the Antec Power supply from yellow to blue. I will see once I get the power supply what will all be involved. All I can tell currently, is that I will be covering over the yellow on the power supply with blue.

There will probably be more minor changes in the future. I imagine there will be road blocks during my build, and I will need to adjust some of my planning to overcome some challenges.
