!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about this build was fine (save for the CPU block) except...

... PUMP/RES COMBO IS PLACED AFTER 2ND RESERVOIR, HOLY SHIT.

Like, yo, Res before Pump. You’re not going to get a good flow doing that.

I’m just happy to see someone actually using mATX

amen, full size boards and towers are so unnecessary!

I’m actually thinking about selling off Cerberus and trying again with an mATX board soon.

Unnecessary, but awesome!

My favorite tower is a bit unwieldy.

Compared to the old version, mine is the small one ( image not mine). The motherboard doesn’t even take up half of the case! ( image not mine)

I helped my dad throw away a bunch of old stuff like that years a go.

kept the base of the TI explorer to maybe do something wild with though

Back in the day when you needed a bunch of drives it made a lot more sense

My old system was mATX - i5-655k on an Asus P7H55D-M EVO.

Current one is ATX - G3258 on a MSI Z97 PC-MATE.

I’ll never build another desktop that I can’t run SLI/Crossfire on.

Yeah, I wouldn’t buy a single x16 slot board. Most mATX boards have two though, which seems like enough. Hell Gigabyte has a mATX skylake board with 3 full length PCI-E slots (though you’d have a tough time fitting in three worthwhile graphics cards). For some strange reason, they also decided there was someone out there who needed two legacy PCI slots on an mATX board:

Yeah, they fucked up on that one. It should’ve went 16x - PCI - 16x - PCI so you could run two dual-slot GPU’s without issue.
