Real nice build, super professional, and powerful cooling too by the looks of it! The only thing I don't like about the design is the radiator at the bottom that is exhausting hot air out the bottom of the case, I can imagine that hot air would rise around the front side of the case and get recycled back through the cooler again in kind of an 'infinite' loop of recycled hot air - because it's an open air case (unless I just can't see the glass). And you've got the dust issue too with an open case. It's difficult though with 360 rads, I suppose there's only a finite number of places you can fit them in the case, but ideally from a cooling and dust point of view I like to see enclosed cases with radiators as exhaust and an intake fan or two to supply plenty of cool air to the radiator fans inside the case. I'm speaking from my own theory here rather than practice, as I've never built a CLC or water cooled system in my life!

Would have been nice to fill in the frame holes with wall filler (we call it polyfilla here) and painted over it!
Otherwise nice, cool looking with the sides off because it is hot in Greece!

the cooling pipes makes me think of that old windows wallpaper with the different colored lines that move around the screen.

I have never wanted to mess with water but I can very much appreciate it. Very nice build. I bet there was a few nervous moments on that photoshoot.

What a absolutely stunning build George! Well done. I think my next case will be the Dynamic o11 XL the slightly larger one that has just come out and I will buy the O11D Distro-Plate G1 to go with it....Wish me luck as if I get even half as good as yours I will be happy.
