White powder-coated chassis and pedestal recovered after roughly a decade in storage. The object should be photographed as found before dust, missing fasteners, or provisional assemblies are disturbed.
The case appears to be the core archive object. Some STH-10 accessories may be present. Watercooling parts include EK 360 radiators, Aqua Computer D5 Aquabus pumps, DDC pumps with clear tops, an Aquaero 6 XT, a large EK cylinder reservoir, and approximately twenty or more white Noiseblocker eLoop PWM fans.
Identify panel by panel. Assign temporary removable labels to unknown parts. Separate fasteners by location. Photograph each assembly before cleaning. Record uncertainty directly instead of smoothing it out.
Start with a serviceable serial loop using EPDM tubing, barbs, and clamps. Keep the pedestal radiator path and quick-disconnect pass-throughs accessible. Function comes first; copper or hardline can become an aesthetic evolution later.
This is not only a computer case. It is an interrupted map. The restoration matters because it turns private discontinuity into visible evidence: the hands still know how to build.
