Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll see if I can make that happen unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll have time to return to this mod anytime soon however :(
Hey guys!
I just want to share the videos of the build as well for those interested.
I did a time-lapse and showcase video and also a case mod summary video!
Hope you guys enjoy them :)
Thanks for checking it out!

Hi guys,
Here are the final photos! I hope you like it, I'm really happy with this one!
The only thing that might need to be changed or improved is the light behind the Darth Maul face on the front panel. The white acrylic would need to be changed to opal and get some better lighting in there...
Hey guys,
These were the final photos I took before getting all the panels on and finishing the build :)
As you can see, I went with black coolant and I also have a few red cold cathodes in there just for some more lightsaber references :)
Stay tuned for final pics...
Hi guys,
Here's most of the piping done!
One issue I had with this is that two of the pass through fittings were way too close to each other and I only had Bitspower C47 style fittings that were a bit too large. So I ended up hand filing them down.
This was the result:
Just shaved off a...
Okay, here we go, pass-through fittings are mounted and the front acrylic cover panel is complete.
You can also see the motherboard skirt panel is ready as well, with reservoir mounts on.
Fans are going underneath the case and a 60mm thick radiator on top of them in the...
Hey guys,
The motherboard I'm using is the ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme with a full cover Bitspower Monoblock that I decided to remove the top cover from and have it exposed. The acrylic would probably do with some polishing however for this build, in terms of the other aesthetics, I think it...
Hey guys,
Time to start focusing my attention back to this build log and get it all up to date! I've been pretty busy as always however the build is finished and I will unveil it over the next couple of days.
I just want to show you guys all the progress first and I still need to take final...
Okay guys here we go, final photos!
Here is my Tempest, Mass Effect inspired build!
What I wanted out of this is a custom system that is very well put together and also engineered quite well, taking advantage of every single inch inside the Maker 5t chassis. That and a very nice and complex...
Okay guys, the build is actually finished at this time however I haven't had time to take final photos yet so I will share the last update!
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for final photos!

Alright, motherboard is in, the reservoir is in, some of the tubes are in and the graphics cards have waterblocks on. I'm using reference 980s but hey it's not about the latest hardware with this build.
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more!

Hey guys,
Here's some further progress of the way I mounted the reservoir/s and also some close-ups of the combo. You can also get a better look at the new back panel and the cut out in the mid section.
You can see the vinyl design for the fans and if you saw earlier in the build log, I showed...
