You know what?  I think it's about time for an update don't you?
 
Well I didn't want to end on purely pictures of the rig, how about some of it in use in a battlestation?
 
Over Christmas I was working on fixing up my peripherals, which had been lagging behind by quite a bit.  So I picked up an Asus PB279Q 4k IPS monitor, along with some Beyerdynamic T90 headphones.  To drive the cans, I also picked up a Schiit Modi DAC and Asgard II amplifier.  The stand I'm using is just a quick thing I made out of some left over 10mm polycarbonate, simple and effective.

You lucky lil' bugger, tell him i love his videos!

That's what I thought as well, I should have the pic's of my gear up soon.

Very often, me and my friends go out and play a lot. What about you, play often?

Thanks man, the goal of this thread was to unite people with a common interest and to make our presence better known. I'd like to see this thread become something more than something you skip over, like a community within a community almost. I wanted it to become a place where people could come to learn and discuss the sport and to make new friends.

So I've been a member on this forum for a decent amount of time, and throughout the past couple of years i have not once met another airsoft player on this forum. So now is the time to rise! Let your voice be heard and join me, in the glorious sport of shooting eachother with plastic BB's! Allow us to spread Airsoft's glourious teachings to others and to recruit new players for the fields. Airsoft has been widely ignored but no more! We will rise, and conquer!
So, whad'yall think about my little "speech"? Any ways if you've even read this far I would like to know what your guys setup's are like? ( as in your gun and tactical gear, not your pc setup )

patience young padawan, holidays it is.

Love your builds man, best I've ever seen. Keep building buddy.

Cheers man, hope you like the final update!
 
 
Welcome to the community!  I'm honored that this build helped you to make the plunge.
 
 
 
MEGA UPDATE!

 
Well this is it folks.  It's been one hell of a journey with many ups and downs (some seriously low points), but I wouldn't trade it away lightly.  The amount of support this build has garnered from the community has been astounding, finally winning a Bit-Tech MotM being the icing on a rather rich chocolate cake indeed.  I'm amazed by simply how many have followed this thread too, a massive 315 at time of writing!   
 
I'd like to thank everybody who's followed this build from the start, along with everybody who joined along the way.  Also a big thanks to my sponsors EKWB who provided almost all of the watercooling parts for the build, it certainly would have been a much slower affair without them.  I'd also like to thank the team over at Parvum Systems who managed to get a new block made so quickly, and of course a thanks to James (Phame) who made the original one that sadly now sits in my room as a grim reminder of the cost of carelessness.
 
 


 
First up, the final update:
 
Tidied up all the fan wires, much neater only having one.

 

 
Felt that the radiator screws needed a bit of sprucing too.

 
And now for the main event!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
The rig is all up and running safely.  I'd have grabbed a few pics of it pushing some pixels only every place I could use is a bit of a heap right now thanks to trying to frantically finish the build.  Going to be a bit of a cleanup job for sure.

This is my first build..Took me along time to run cables good cause i only have one working arm..But i like how it came out..
 

After about 2 hours of OCD-like managing this was the result:
 

 
 
 

UPDATE!

 
Been working on the tubing, which I must admit took much longer than I expected.  I have a small graveyard of 90 degree bends that weren't quite right now, didn't want to have the faintest bit of kink in any of them.  Turns out the thin walled acrylic tubing kinks far more easily than the thicker stuff I used to use.
 
I also shortened the wiring on the pump itself, little job but it makes a bit difference to the overall look on the back.  Just a case of taking it apart, shortening, sleeving, drilling a larger hole and putting everything back in.  Swapped the molex connector too, the translucent one that comes with the pump simply had to go.
 
My fingers are a little numb from all the tightening, but things seem pretty solid.  Looking to get the remainder of the wiring and a leak test done over the next couple of days!

 




 

 

 

 

You could have it on like a monitor arm, that would be totally amazing! Swivel it around and things...

*sigh* The Hero...
 
Solid build.

I needs moar pic's!

I'd pay a maximum of 500$ for it since it is second hand, would probably sell for more with a gpu but it's probably not worth doing that.

Dude this rig is gonna be sweet! I like the looks of your other build in the background too, I'd totally hire you to mod my rig if I could.
