Love the retro look. Did it end up structurally solid? What type of materials did you use?

Thanks. It's very solid. I may have gone overboard. The front and sides are 8mm thick so I could make the removable grills 4mm so they wouldn't be too flimsy. I used PETG plus, but if I did it over I would probably use PLA. I was worried about strength, but PETG does not like to print flat at that size. I've had multiple failures, and as it is I still have a lot of sanding and filling to clean it up. It has taken a took of time as well. I bought a large format printer just for this and it just warned me that I should do a 500hr service.

I haven't made my own case with custom water loop (even home made blocks) since the days of single-core CPUs. Ah, nostalgia.

420x420x500. Microcenter had a Kobra 3 max combo on sale since it's being replaced by the v2.

It's my first water cooled setup. I only did it because it let me make it more compact.
