I know someone who bought an X99 5820k, 64gb DDR4, 8 TB HDD, 960GB SSD and triple Titan X so they could use wordpress. But HERE'S THE WORST THING:

This is a brilliant idea...

I know someone who bought an X99 5820k, 64gb DDR4, 8 TB HDD, 960GB SSD and triple Titan X so they could use wordpress. But HERE'S THE WORST THING:

the Titan X came before the 980TI it was the fastest for quite some time

Why are you watching a year old press conference?

Hey guys!
Been a long time since I've made an update in this build log! Just been caught up with other builds and competitions as well as, stated from the start of the log, this is a build I have been working on for a mate and he's had trouble acquiring the rest of the parts.
I have everything I need in order to get this build finished now so I'm ready to push ahead with it.
Firstly I would like to showcase the awesome cables provided by Mod/Smart for this project. They are done from red and white paracord sleeving. They look awesome and will fit the build really well.









Thanks for checking it out guys and apologies for the delays with this build!
Stay tuned for more!
Cheers,
Alex

Don't worry guys the project is still alive! I'm just waiting for my mom to order my bloody thermal pads. Until then... Cable training.
 

 

 

Ah yes, scratchbuild porn. Excellent. Also nice to see somebody else who paints their motherboard with model paint.

Things like this are the reason I haven't quit this dumb forum. Great build man!

Well, I'm slowely starting to get back on my feet And thank you all for the support, it really means a lot !  :wub: 

Thank you guys for the nice word and for your patience!
It took more time than I planned at first, but I was finally able to finish it.

I was really tempted by the white coolant too, but when seen in person, the clear coolant combined with the lightbox is really awesome.   
 

Very nice fan accent in the middle. Subtle but good looking. I'm a big fan of the motherboard cable, too. Very well done.
 
Or in the words of Ravens, "It's glorious!"

Time has come for the final update guys!
 

 
I would love to start by saying a big thank you to my sponsors: Corsair, EKWB, Hardware Labs, Cooling Lab and Pexon PCs! . It have been a fantastic project to work on, and I couldn't have been able to do it without your support! 
 
So after many hours working on the Hikari Project, the build is finally finished! Like I said in previous updates, I had a very short time left to finish the build, but I was finally able to do it  (minus the power switch, but I have been waiting for Dimastech to send it to me for more than 2 monthes....). 
 
But more than words, let me show final pictures of the HKR Project.
 
Let there be light!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
And, in bonus, my setup before we move. 
 

 
Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard, Corsair Scimitar RGB mouse, Corsair Void Wireless headset and Dell U3415w monitor (I will make some more screenshots of those awesome peripherals soon).
 
I'm really happy with the result. It's very close to what I had in mind the first time I imagined the Hikari project.
There will surely be a V2 (and maybe a mATX version) though!
 
Thank you too guys for following the project, your comments and nice words have been such a fantastic motivation!

Oh my goodness! *puts sun glasses on* my eyes are not worthy. It's glorious! Great work man, happy to see its completion after all this time. ;D

ooooh my goooooodneeeess! Stop playing with my emotions! It looks so good! D;

Thank you guys! I'm so happy to see people loving the project! Today's update will surely be the last before the final pics, so here we go!
 
We are moving in two weeks so I took some time to work on the build, because I'll have to send the case to France then (and won't be able to touch it until next summer when we'll move to Paris...).
 So let me show you the progress I made last weekend.
 
First of all, A big thank you to all my sponsors: Corsair, EKWB, Hardware Labs, Cooling Lab and Pexon PCs! 
 

 
 
I started by putting those sexy water blocks on the M6F. They look amazing!
 


 
As the MB shield was off, I had some time to work on something I previewed in a previous updates, the motherboard logo.
 
Despite of the new M8F that has RGB capabilities, the Maximus VI Formula only offer red LED color for the central logo.
Well, until now.
 

 

 
I cut the logo using my Silhouette Cameo, and cut a small LED stripe that should fit perfectly.
 

 
Perfect length! Now need to cut the rear of the shield to let the LED stripe cable some space.
 


 
I really love the result. Can't wait to see it in action!
 
Now, time to put the shield back on the motherboard.
 


 
 
Next on the list what the GPU block.

 
I really love the black stock cooler, but something better is coming.
 





 
 
EKWB goodness!
 
The rest of the day consisted in this:
 


 
The bends from the radiator chamber to the upper chamber was a PITA to do, but I really love the result.
 
That's all for today, but as I'm a nice person, I'll give you a preview of what is coming in the next update.
 

Hey Josephk545, there are few ways to design a custom case with us... 
 
Like a couple of others posted above, you can get started right away using our free 3D CAD software, Protocase Designer. If you're not familiar with CAD design, our software is very easy to learn, and within minutes you can be designing your own custom case. It even has templates available for various different kind of enclosures so you're not starting from scratch. 
 
Or, if you are familiar with CAD design, and have your own software, you can design a case in the software of your choosing, and then send it to our Engineering & Design Services team and they'll assist you in tweaking the design to match your needs. (This is what Linus opted with us...he designed the first mock-up, and then our team spent hours with him fine tuning his design so he was able to get everything he wanted in there).
 
Or you can even sketch something up on a napkin, scan it and send it to us, and our engineering team will come up with a design based on your sketch. 
 
And no matter what, our team will design something to match your specific budget and requirements!
 
 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, or you can email us at info@protocase.com, or check out more information here.
 
 
Thanks for your question, and I hope this helped clear things up a little bit!
