Build of the week: L3pipe

Features
By James Davenport published 10 August 2015

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web's most dedicated PC building communities.

Peter Brands, or ‘L3p’ in the case-modding community, is primarily known for his all-in-one desk builds. But with the L3pipe, Brands wanted to explore new territory. “Ever since I started experimenting with hardline loops back in 2010 I always thought of creating something with as theme the loop itself. Anyone remember the Windows 98 pipes screensaver?” Of course we do, Peter. Of course we do.

For the uninitiated, hardline loops are a method for liquid cooling that use solid pipes instead of the typical rubber hoses. The implementation of hardlines can be very difficult since they require a hefty amount of planning and precise measurement. But Brands isn’t the type to do much planning up front, he just likes to “start and see where it ends.” A quick glance at the build gives the impression of precision and logic, despite the maze twisting pipes and bulging hardware.

Considering the L3pipe has over 200 possible leak points, it’s pretty impressive to hear that Brands didn’t encounter a single one. That, and the machine booted on his first attempt. But I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, family man Brands spent over nine months worth of his weekends to build it. His biggest problem, he says, was that it took him “a while to find a nice solution to support the radiators and GPU's with the nickel-plated thin pipes.” A problem for Peter, but music to a PC enthusiast’s ears. Carry your joy to the parts list below, and let your eyes dance over the specs. Oh, the specs!

Congrats on the build, Peter!

Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web's most dedicated PC building communities.

Peter Brands, or ‘L3p’ in the case-modding community, is primarily known for his all-in-one desk builds. But with the L3pipe, Brands wanted to explore new territory. “Ever since I started experimenting with hardline loops back in 2010 I always thought of creating something with as theme the loop itself. Anyone remember the Windows 98 pipes screensaver?” Of course we do, Peter. Of course we do.

For the uninitiated, hardline loops are a method for liquid cooling that use solid pipes instead of the typical rubber hoses. The implementation of hardlines can be very difficult since they require a hefty amount of planning and precise measurement. But Brands isn’t the type to do much planning up front, he just likes to “start and see where it ends.” A quick glance at the build gives the impression of precision and logic, despite the maze twisting pipes and bulging hardware.

Considering the L3pipe has over 200 possible leak points, it’s pretty impressive to hear that Brands didn’t encounter a single one. That, and the machine booted on his first attempt. But I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, family man Brands spent over nine months worth of his weekends to build it. His biggest problem, he says, was that it took him “a while to find a nice solution to support the radiators and GPU's with the nickel-plated thin pipes.” A problem for Peter, but music to a PC enthusiast’s ears. Carry your joy to the parts list below, and let your eyes dance over the specs. Oh, the specs!

Congrats on the build, Peter!
