    Hello everyone! now it's time for me to share the worklog of my latest build. The Titanium S.
    This is a collaboration work with my friend Ejay Bosquit where he is my first client. He really requested that I should build him a special modded rig and since he agreed that I will void every warranty of the parts that he will buy and I'm the one who will be deciding the entire look of the build, so I said "Yes! Let's build it."
    I let Ejay choose which hardware he will buy and use for this build since he has the budget to do so and basically he is the financer of this build. And on the modding and design part, that would be my responsibility.
    So let's start.
    First, I wanted to create a new Flagship for my Titanium family. And this will be perfect. It has no theme like the Titanium, just pure freedom.
    But this time it will be better. Better 90degree motherboard tray conversion, unique color theme, better layout and sexier look.
    That's why I called it Titanium "S". Because for some reason it's Special, Sporty, Sexy and and it's about Speed.
    Spec List:
    Rampage IV Extreme (in Black)
    Intel Core i7 3970X
    Cooler Master Cosmos II
    Corsair 16Gb 2400MHz DDR3
    EK Waterblocks
    2x Aqua Computer AirPlex 420 Radiators with Corsair AF140
    4x GTX780 Reference with EKWB
    EVGA Supernova 1500w PSU
    Samsung 840 PRO 250GB in RAID0
    Custom Copper Tubes (yes, that is copper tubing!)
    Rotated motherboard mounting
    Relocated PSU mounting
    FTW sleeving
    So let's start modding!!!

    looks succesful but the sidepanels aren't friendly
     
    so I decided to make my own sidepanel but making it from acryllic
     

     

     

     

     

     
    looks much better. we'll see much more of it later.

    Finally, a worklog. i would like to thank Linus for posting my work and sharing it to the internet last night!

    Asus was kind enough to send me a GTX690 last 2012  because they liked what i did for their Sabertooth z77 board. The ArmorSuit Z77 build. 

    Now I started thinking if I could sell this card but then I realized that it's a bit old now and maybe it needs some overhauling before I sell. Thus I made my first ever AsusGTX690 Paultan Edition GPU.
     
    Here, I will show you the 2weeks building process. enjoy


     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    So as you can see, there's a big problem for me. The green logo that lights up will mess up my color theme. So before I started this project, I made sure that I already found a way how to change the color of the logo. From green, to GOLD!
     
    now for the process!

    I started drawing the pattern of ROG motherboards and got some vinyl stickers and started cutting them. Then applied it on the card it self.
     
    The goal is to make a texture that doesn't take too much attention.


     
    now ready for painting
     

     
    First layer is a matte black finish.
     

     

     
    The black is too mainstream for my taste and doesn't add any "paultan" feel to it. so I decided to add another coat this time with a mist of gun metal.
    The goal is not to make it silky smooth finish, I'm going for a rough surface. here's the result
     

     
    Then next is the edges of the card.
     
    You can clearly see how brown it is. So I will fix it and make it more sexier.

     
    DONE!
     

     
    Now let's make the case/box
     

     

     
    I'm using a acrylic here. Left overs from my previous projects.
     

     
    bending
     

     
    looks good
     

     

     

     
    Thanks to Soundblaster for giving me this awesome headset. No problem with noisy gears and more for inspirational music!
     

     

     

     
    Looks good in picture but i don't like the wrapping effect.. so I decided to make an aluminium version of it.
     

     
     
     
    now I'm gonna make the main body using MDF wood.
     

     

     
    Then aluminium
     

     

     
    Now bending!
     

     

     
    bending using hands. lol
     
    looks good!
     

     
    more bending! and filing
     

     
    filing is the key for straight lines/precision
     

     

     

     
    now some details.
     

     

     

     

     
    done!
     

     
    now for the deatails!
     

     

     
    another problem is that the doors needs a guide so it can slide nicely when trying to open and closing.
     

     

     

     

     
    testing the guides perfect but needs lubrication
     

     

     
    perfect when closed!
     

     

     
    now applying the texture!
     

     
    then sanding!!!!
     
     
    wear complete mask to avoid inhaling the particles.
     

     
     

     

     

     

     

     
    this is why you need to wear mask.
     

     
    after few hours
     

     
    now let's make the foams
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    Now painting!!!
     

     

     

     
    after the matte black. here's the rough gunmetal!!! I love it!
     

     

     
    add some signature!
     

     

     
    then label.
     

     

     

     

     
    the bottom
     

     
    the base!
     

     
    bottom
     

     
    then some acrylic to add ease when sliding the doors.
     

     

     

     
    now I'm adding gold strip for accent!
     

     

     

     

     
    finished!
     

     
    more pictures here of the finish product!
