Intro:

This is going to be my third major build. The first was a water cooled AMD powered machine in a 750D with a black and red theme. My second build carried the same theme of black and red into a 900D powered by a 4770k.

 

Being my third build I wanted to pull out all the stops on this build. The build be a custom desk build. I love the crossdesk but the price and availability prevented me from going that route. So I decided that I would build the desk from scratch. Being in the military I decided I wanted to do a military theme build but not one with ACU or Multi-Cam pattern but one that was more focused on the special operations side of the house. Me personally am not in that community but I have a lot of respect for those that are.

brilliant idea followed! The only thing i would suggest if you are going military why not a ASUS TUF board instead of  the ROG?

 

the main hardware is getting translated from my current rig but custom painting of the armor and board are in the plans

The black rectangle in the middle is the corsair extended mouse pad. When I started thinking about this build I want to use it and I didn't want anything to be hidden by it. I have since changed my mind and I am not sure if I am going to even use that anymore. These are just rough ideas before I head over to the computer and start creating 3d models.

These designs are taking a lot longer than I thought. I also have been busy at work getting ready for my move to texas. Here is what I have so far

 

Looks truly epic! Just curious about how to make renderings like that? What software(s) and such do I need?

I am using sketchup to make the model and rendering it in Keyshot. I am still learning sketchup so it isn't the best design but it is a lot better than when I first started using sketchup about a month back.
