Introduction and Concept
 
Hi Everyone,
 
Im back with another project, the last version of this one fell flat on its face due to a number of reasons, but this is pretty much version 2.0 of this concept.   The basic idea of this was to use 3D printing to create a case from scratch.  The original version was a full scale, full tower.  After getting some of the parts printed I started to find that there were some flaws with the plan, so I scrapped it and started from scratch.  the new plan was to make this a robust and semi portable system that I can travel with to and from LAN parties. 
 
UPDATED DESCRIPTION (2/6/2015):  To clear up some confusion, in case people were confused.  The majority of this case will be 3D printed, all of the frame will be 3D printed while the rest will be made out of metal, acrylic/plexi, etc.  Things like the motherboad tray, for example, will be made out of a aluminum.  Hope that clears this up a bit as I don't want people to get the wrong idea.
 
I will be keeping both forum and video logs of the progress. Stay Tuned!

Done. All of the glorious insides have come out.
 
Nice location BTW.

To make it look cleaner and have better air flow, I would isolate the cables and tubing in a small section in the back, like almost every case does.
Other than that, it looks pretty cool. I like how you have the fans on an angle.

Try basic stuff first before you do anything major. Make sure all of the connections are good (GPU power, PCIe connection, SLI Bridge connenction). I've done plenty of stupid crap in the past that I didn't realize on the first pass. Also, are the cards new or did they have a previous owner?

I was about to get the new lanyard, but I think I would like a Stealth WAN Show one.
What do you guys think?

Yup, its real
 
 

Good News! The computer boots fine and displays the BIOS completely fine. The seller also insisted the cards were 100% fine and sent me his firestrike scores before he "switched to a Titan X". Anyways, thanks for the help guys.
 
I will be setting everything up and installing windows as soon as the case arrives.

Ya, not good at all.
 
On the brighter side! Austin is great!

So as you guys may have heard on the interwebs, a build of build of the Russian "Halo Online" has been leaked. So i took the liberty of trying it out, and I have to say, from a gameplay perspective, and the build I played in the videos below. It's basically Halo 3 with Halo 4 skins. I think this shows that is is very capable for 343 to release Halo titles on the PC. Maybe it's a step into the PC marketplace with Halo? Maybe they are not going to develop another console generation (maybe due to the huge losses at the launch of each console generation). You don't let your flagship title go to another platform for no reason. I am not excited for the FTP side of this Halo Online, I wish they would give us a real Halo title. Also, please excuse the awkward transitions between the maps, I had to use some third party software to force load the maps. So what do you guys think?
 
Please note, there is no multiplayer, the game treats the maps like I am loading a singleplayer level. The footage is of me testing the maps, weapons, and vehicles. No multiplayer, sorry.
 
Here are Google doc links so you can view the footage.
*EDIT* (Fixed the double video post... There are now two separate videos)

If you would like to test it for yourself, here is a link to get you started.

But but but, we need more super mutants, ghouls and post apocalyptic world. We don't need another magic casting, sword swinging game. (I love Skyrim though)
