Full Copper Custom Loop with Dual GPU and 8 Core Intel

[enthalpy]

Hey Guys!

 

So we are in the planning area... and I am planning Since my current rig is still powerful enough and the new 8 Core Intel doesn't give me chills, I am planning a build for 2015.

 

The build is going to contain:

• 8 Core Intel CPU (or AMD if they do some magic until then)
• 32-64GB RAM  (I am doing CAD and rendering a lot)
• Two SingleGPU Cards - Not sure yet about TeamRed or TeamGreen yet - a lot time until 2015 left

Okay, that was the boring part. But I want to do something new. My current Rig with it's 23 Noctuas is nice, but it is nothing special. So I am going to:

• Full Copper Pipes instead of flex/acrylic tubing
• Steampunk look
• Plastidip most components

And some friends an I (all mechanical students/graduates) are designing a case right now

• Full Aluminium Case with anodized surface
• perfect cablemanagement

 

So. Just wanted to open the thread to update my progress during planningphase It is the first time i really "plan" a build. All the others were just "doing". This time I want to record my planningphase on my youtubechannel and in this forum so could be helpful for others

 

Have a nice day and check out my old buildlogs in my signature

Plan this in 2015 then. Entire year difference isn't worth it and won't ring accurate in the future.

Due to university my mates and I dont have the time to "rush" this. The "assembling" will take place in 2015. The manufacturing of the parts like case and tubing will take place sooner! To be honest the "Hardware" will change and I do care most about the Case and the tubing.

I disagree, I planned my build for 2 years. Had what I wanted in mind and made the list. As new, more powerful parts came out I replaced them with the previous older parts that were in the same price range and gave me the same function I was hoping for. It kinda makes you feel better about your purchase since you spent so much time planning the parts out and didn't just make a build list, buy it then have some regrets. Just how I experienced it anyways.

You sure about that? I can see it in dark theme just fine on this crappy laptop screen (not the dreamcolor). 

 

As for the build, sounds like a decent plan, but I would wait till around december before planning next years build. (Also, polish the hell out of them copper tubes, everyone does strait copper, but hardly anyone does a polished copper).

As stated, the CPU/CPU/MoBo parts will change, but the Case and the tubing are timeless, so why not start today?  I will polish and artificially "patina" the copper. Then i use some clear lacquer.

Sounds like a good plan then.

Has full copper tubing even been done before?

[enthalpy]

I have seen some Rigs, yes

When I posted that, it was in the gray colour, and was still quite visible.

I don't know what style set you used but for me it was black

[Sheldon_King]

I just have it set to the default night theme, and it was most definitely gray on this side.

The official stylize style?

If you are asking if I use the normal one, the only changes I have mode from default LTT theme is scrolling down to the bottom of teh forums and selecting Night in the theme box. No other changes at all.

No, I am talking about the official stylize style
