Performed Mods:
Remodded the VESA mounting on the stand and monitor.
Sawed, polished, brushed and bent a 5mm Aluminum plate
Built a VESA mount
Grinded down the paint to free the metal on the stand and polished and brushed it.
Repainted the bezel, backplate and monitor stand.
Added an acrylic base to the PSU
Repainted the RAM-heatsinks to white.
Grinded down the VRM Heatsink on the motherboard to free the metal and brushed it
Fastened the GPU so that it could use the entire 5mm thick aluminium backplate as a cooling backplate.
This is a custom-loop-all-in-one gaming PC.
I got the idea when my wife wanted an iMac. Ofc she didn't get one... But I built this!
It's my first scratch-build and my first custom-loop! Second mod ever!
The clearance behind the radiators to the screen is 70mm, so the airflow is good.
Feel free to follow me on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter as I post updates on coming projects there.

I remove 2 points for the following reasons :
- Hot air propelled towards the screen by the fans.
- Absence of drain tap from below
- Fixing the power supply
Yeah, the fans do blow hot air towards the monitor. But there's a 70mm gap between the radiators and the monitor. Not even under load is the air coming through that hot really. (I could switch the fans to a pull configuration, but the little positive effect it has wasn't worth it show the prettier Corsair logo on the fans. :D Hahaha Looks = performance, no? ;) )
full points from me. awesome work.
and i like the power supply copper holders very much.
and yes maybe the fans in other direction but that's just a small detail and only relevant if temps are bad for the monitor.
The little extra would be to see the temperature and the flow in real time from your screen or through the smartphone / software.

Question the monitor doesn't tilt down? or the plate is supported directly thru the stand?
The monitor just "hangs" on the original VESA mount that I integrated to the entire plate that sits on the stand (Have 4 screws attached too in it's original mountingplate).
So I can use the entire build without a monitor if I want and use the stand just as that, a stand.
Originally the build would make the stand push down to it's lowest point, so I had to put in two screws in the internal slide of the mount to stop it from going too low. The weight of the chassi and monitor makes it "tilt" to it's most forward position but it suits my placement at my desk fine combined with the height I've locked it in.
Fair.
Anyone giving a 7 or 8 out of ten may be reasonably expected to do so normally, but assigning superlatives such as "excellent" for a basic 6 is ludicrous.
I'll vote higher when they remove the ridiculous adjectives as I literally can't assign a "superb, incredible. or Nobel prize" to any cases deserving a higher numerical score.
