This week we are covering a recent build by Tiché PC Custom. And the guys did not dissapoint! The PC was built for one of their more demanding clients, so choosing the best hardware components goes hand in hand with a full custom liquid cooling loop. Great performance, aesthetics and longer lasting components are the core words that describe this system.
For last 3 years we have planned our company as a “black / purple” coloured brand, but because of lot of client builds are specific in colour – we did not get around to it. But finally one of our very good customers decided to order really powerful and specific build in black / purple combination. Along with every trick, water-cooling know-how some elbow grease and our good friends in EK Water Blocks we “crafted” the Purple Rain project .
Does “Purple Rain” deliver all of the above and more? EK thinks so. Do you?
Black and purple builds are hard to pull of, but the Purple Rain sure has a very nice effect on the eyes. The mid tower Define S is very suitable for a custom liquid cooling loop – It is a frequent choice by Tiché team. We wanted to know what kind of hardware is packing inside the case – For the second time! Here is the list of the HW goods provided by Tiché PC.
