Do you build the motherboard and stuff from scratch or do you have like a 3D warehouse like sketchup? How long did it take you to create it?

First of thanks all :)

i would do a 850 pro and pcie ssd

 

I had 2 840 and m.2 on x99 platform is pcie x4 so no advantage with a pcie-SSD card.

Why 780 not 980? 

 

Oh, yeah, thats a nice desk.

 

THE DESK IS SO AWSESOME PLEASE MAKE IT FASTER AND YOU CAN BE LIKE KANYE

When I started the build 980 was not out and I'm almost done with build so I will post updates in rapid order over the next 2-3 weeks.

Do you build the motherboard and stuff from scratch or do you have like a 3D warehouse like sketchup? How long did it take you to create it?

The motherboard is a mix of parts of sketchup models and self made models, Time wise I can't tell it was part of planning the desk and that took some time to do to make it as thin as possible. I also needed to design it in a way I actually can build it with standard tools and look like the renders.

This looks to be an awesome build Rakior.  I checked out your YouTube rendering video, which was nicely done.  I look forward to seeing the finish craftsmanship.
