Well Im planning to mob my computer but one thing I need help with is trying to hide or clean up my wireing? Like I want to be anle to cover up my fan wires and my power supply wires. And are there any suggestions with lighting and water cooling? Is it worth it to go water cooing? Is it true that you computer will be f up if the water cooling messes up (i.e. spills)
First off, what do you mean by "cover up"?
You can wire-sleeve and heat-shrink the wires if you want to give it a cleaner appearance.
You can also do some creative cable routing to make the wiring less obtrusive.
As for water cooling. What kind of environment are we talking about? Cool room, warm room, sauna, stuck in a closet? How much space does this machine have around it?
How do you want to water cool? Heavy-duty with big and bare components? Or unobtrusively? Or do you have a special set of requirements?
And yes, if you spring a leak, you can seriously FUBAR your system. This is why you do TESTING on a fully assembled water cooling system BEFORE attaching it to electronics. You assemble the entire system dry. Then pull the watercooling loop off the system and disconnect the motherboard from power. You then test the loop under power for a couple hours (yes, hours, as 30 minutes won't necessarily tell you if you have a very slow leak under pressure).
Once you've run the loop without leakage, go ahead and reconnect everything. Then double and triple-check the tightness of the fittings (to make sure they didn't work loose), and fire it up again under power.
