There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

- Use an anti-static wrist strap. I know most of these youtubers don't use them, but it'll prevent you from zapping something accidentally.
- I have an AIO liquid cooler in the list that should come with thermal paste pre-applied. IIRC, the EVGA CLC requires the backplate, so just getting the cooler/radiator in is going to be a process whether you put the cooler on before or after you install the motherboard.
- I prefer to install completely then test, but that is my personal preference so I can use the case buttons. Do it how you want. The guides have kinda both ways.
- Install the cpu cooler fan and radiator on the front unless it doesn't fit and move the case fans there to the back and/or top. You'll get better cooling.
- This build isn't themed. If you would rather change the case or other parts for something you think looks better, you are welcome to do so.
You are welcome to ask further questions. :)
