I like the look of that case a lot.  What's the machine to be used for?

It will be used for a lot of different things, from 3D modeling to gaming.

Just a quick update today.

 

Put one of the rads in with fans so I can mock up the res design. Will be doing the drawings tonight to send to Jim (@OrangeClockwerk) so he can let me know when he can build it.

 

I also managed top get one of the blocks on on the currently unused GPU. I don't use it at the moment as the stock cooler on it makes it triple slot and in crossfire they get too hot due to lack of room between them.

Part of my build is also updating my man cave (well my corner of the lounge).

 

So a new desk, keyboard, mouse and some speakers were put in. And today the new monitor showed up.

I know I should be doing them myself but I genuinely just don't have time at the moment, I'm working two jobs as it is.

 

More to come tomorrow, hopefully some reservoir porn if Jim Weist can get it cut.

This is the first of many jobs that Jim is cutting on his brand new self built CNC machine. His work is top notch and he is awesome to deal with.
