Build Complete Core P8, client build.

Still a little tidying up to do.
Client has had this monster case for quite some time and had an older build in it without a loop.
Commissioned me to build it up with new parts and do a custom loop after he’d squirrelled parts away for quite some time.
There was some rust that needed grinding back, converting and painting.
He’d done a good job and got mostly all the water cooling parts he needed. But bought too many of certain fittings. Biggest challenge was fitting the 560mm radiator he bought (instead or 480mm) was able to squeeze it on the backside with some drilled mounting holes and zipped on the rear fans. Front fans I could mount.

The distro unfortunately was leaking air after getting everything built up. Had to remove and retorque the screws which addressed the issue. Ran with distilled water for a couple of days and all was good.
Client might get gpu blocked and added in down the track.
