That is a really cool look, you've managed to build there. Custom sleeving on the GPU power cables to get red/black?

What's connected to the radiators, though?

If it's dual it's kind of cool ... 😎

Ah, the GPUs. Off course, that's the black braided coming out of the back side of them. Funny I missed that 🤣

WOW, this is a wild system. It looks terrific and would've cost a fortune back in its day....

Is you running Windows 10? What are you going to use the system for? Is the Crossfire frame pacing terrible as I've read it is? (I've never personally experienced dual GPU)

Wouldn't the red Noctua anti-vibration corners be more effective if they were in between the fans and the heatsinks?

yes, its running win 10. for nothing - its just there - no, the crossfire works fine. you dont see any spacing. no - there under the clams (klammern - i am german) - they work as intended.
