Fort Desert
This unique and luxurious stronghold of a PC build is nestled inside the DIY InWin Dubili case – Champagne Gold version. It hosts the aesthetically matching AMD Ryzen Direct Die and Radeon Special Edition water blocks with custom hardline tubing that makes it a work of art, even if you skip the D-RGB lighting. The coolant's color, resembling desert sand, is custom-mixed from the EK-CryoFuel Solid White and Dye Pack to match the build's overall appearance and gold-plated Torque fittings.
