Overview / Usage

Project Amethyst was a personal project that was intended to be used as my streaming rig, to run in tandem with my main PC. I have extremely limited desk space so I decided to go in a SFF direction. We even took it an extra step in reducing it's footprint by rotating the case 90 degrees, which required us to change the placement of the case feet.

The name "Amethyst" was inspired by the RAM that was included in the build, which was the limited edition G.Skill Trident Z Royal Elite. To compliment the amethyst aesthetic, we finished the build off with a custom mixed pale lilac coolant.

Methodology / Approach

So if you know LiquidHaus, you know we're going to do something different. One thing that we have utilized in prior builds is cabinetry hardware, such as drawer pulls, to be used as case feet in the instances where we change the orientation of the case. Because we changed the orientation of the Q58 to , this same small mod came into great use for this build!

Obviously, the build had to be watercooled. Being that this is a SFF build, and we were restricted to a smaller space, we utilized things like the Phanteks Glacier R160 Pump/Res Combo to achieve that without having to go crazier with something like an EXT setup.

All of the watercooling components used in this build are listed below.

• XSPC Raystorm Pro CPU Block
• Phanteks Glacier R160 Pump/Res Combo
• Alphacool XT45 280mm
• Radiator EKWB G1 1070 GPU Block
• Monsoon EV2 Compression Fittings
• Monsoon PETG
• EKWB Torque Rotaries Barrow Bulkheads
