For my first big IT project, I designed and built a compact water-cooled mini PC. Focusing on high performance in a small form factor, the build included a custom loop with CPU and GPU water blocks, pump, and hard tubing all cooled by a single 240mm radiator and 2 120mm fans. I used tools such as PVC pipe cutters, precision screwdrivers, Open Hardware Monitor, and custom length cables. The system integrates high-end components including a mini-ITX motherboard, RTX 2070 GPU, multiple NVMe drives, and an 8 core AMD CPU. Combining PC hardware and software knowledge with liquid cooling technology to achieve quiet, thermally efficient performance.
