Build Description
I had been using a 2012 iMac and wanted to build a PC for gaming, Blender, streaming, and photo and video editing. This was my first PC and first custom water loop. Love how it has come out! There is one last part that still needs to be completed… The clear tube is a place holder for a future hardline that matches the others.
An eye for details will recognize the Apple M1 Mac Mini. The Thermaltake Core P3 case was perfectly made to fit the Mac underneath. So one PC and one Mac for all my needs!

Favorite Feature
The Core P3 was not meant to accommodate two 420mm radiators. To achieve this, I 3D printed two brackets that anchor the top radiator to the “feet” on the back of the case. They have worked flawlessly for about a year.
