Watercooled PC
Full custom watercooling loop on rather old midrange hardware.
The case was changed, the old hardware was put on water, and RGB lighting was added.

For this build, I designed an ARGB Buffer circuit, using WS2811 chips in series, to create a shifting buffer for ARGB signals.
This circuit allows having continuous light effect on multiple ARGB elements (strips or any device) by shifting the input LED number in front of each connected elements.
For instance, on my example schematic hereunder, each LED of the three connected ARGB elements will have the relative position indicated in the effect, viewed from the controller. The controller will see a single ARGB strip of 18 LEDs instead of three separate ARGB elements, and the light effect will follow the LED number.
I used those ARGB Buffers to connect in series the LEDs of both waterblocks and the waterpump, to have a moving light wave going over all three of them consecutively using a single controller channel.
