The White Asylum rig was my first attempt at folding and I have to admit that I kinda dig the concept
so I decided to build a second folding rig!
So here it goes…
This new build is called the « Eklect1k » simply by it’s cooling components origins.
First you have to understand that I don’t usually use a ton of brands on a single build. Maybe 6-7 including tubing and coolant.
And this time it’s a stunning 13 brands if you count the Phobya Bench
. And also in this build it will be a mix of new, used and already owned components.
That’s a very eclectic build and since I wanted to add an eclectic touch even in the name. So gamertag style it was
