You should have just posted the renders and said that the build was complete, no one would know the difference. 

So how do EL wires work exactly, do you just pass a current through them? Can you cut them at any point along the line? Can you solder them to normal wire?

Build looking good BTW 

You should also consider whether or not you want open  headphones. This will be just personal pref and depends on your environment.

I can vouch for the HyperX Cloud. Super comfortable, great noise isolation, good sound stage, and the bass isn't overblown unlike many other options.

I would love the new Razer blade with the 1060. I want to be able to have a portable workstation so that I can do some CAD and gaming when I'm on holiday.

Haven't used Autocad, but working daily with maya and 3dsmax and hobby time in fussion. 1-8 hours of simple model render would be unacceptable. 7 rays would be enough to go through all the objects and show glass. Putting 999 rays won't change a thing in that sake. Maybe it's Autocad as I'm not familiar, but knowing Autodesk I don't think they would not include it. Just now Autodesk bought Arnold renderer and is including  £1000 renderer for no additional cost.

I know that when I used Showcase to render this (the model has 200+ components):

It took me around 4 hours. I did 10 layers of ray tracing and cranked anti-aliasing to the max. I have a potato PC, but I think it would still take at least 1 hour to do it on a workstation.  

Can't wait for more progress.

Though I can't personally stand the colour choices, this build still look sexy as hell!

I agree with the colour, but the craftsmanship is extraordinary.

1-8 hours renders... You're doing something wrong with render settings as by the looks of it, the scene should render in max 10 minutes even at 3840x2160. What are you using for render?

If he is doing proper ray tracing in CAD the renders should take about that long, especially when you have that many components. Subbed BTW. 

That's an awesome looking phone, and I really need an upgrade from my windows phone.

I'm guessing the theme is gold?

HyperX Clouds, Cherry ML4100 and a random E blue mouse

Currently I have an R9 250. I know - it has terrible performance, and that's why I want a new card.

This would be awesome for my room since I have nowhere to mount a a large TV, but using this I could just project the screen onto my wardrobe doors. This could also come in super handy when I go camping since the side of the tent should make a great screen.

That should make it about equal and with superior heatpipes it should make it even better (to the point of filling it with mineral oil?)

I don't think heat pipes alone can beat out a full tank of oil. the pipes only contact the main heat generating areas of the components, but the oil will contact everything. Plus the vast amount of oil also gives you a tonne of thermal capacity, to get the same in a heat pipe you need a significant amount of speed which I don't think is possible via convection alone.

Damn, that colour scheme actually looks really nice, shame about those rough edges though.

That little thing looks awesome!

People in the thread: if I jumped out of the plane right now what are the chances of surviving tracking down the system and borrowing it.. Permanently

And that's why you always pack a parachute, never forget.

It's to resemble the "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" from Jules Verne, written in 1870. The originale title is French: "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers: Tour du monde sous-marin".

That was a great book.

Why not add a pump inside the case and radiator outside the case to further dissipate heat build-up? If the pump is in the case there should be minimal sound output, plus having the inside the case will also come in handy for maintenance (draining).

You should consider brazing each of the aluminum pieces together. you can do it at home without welding.  That would seal everything up quickly and reliably. 

I already recommended this earlier, but apparently he has to attach all the computer hardware to the heat sinks before assembling the sides, so it is not possible to braze the sides together.

Looking good as always.

It is the "Walensee"

 

The cable is pathetic, like 1 MBit/s, but LTE is pretty good with 25 - 32 MBit/s down and 15 - 20 MBit/s up. And we have one ISP that offers unlimitted (not sure if they throtle over 100 GByte or so) wireless data for only 35$ a month, the others are >80$.

That LTE is still faster than what the majority of Australia gets. 

The case looks good, but I think you could have used shorter cables to make the cable management a bit cleaner.
