  1. So many pretty things I will never be able to afford. Mod looks good though, I love the floating look.
  2. Shapeways uses an Selective Laser Sintering printer. Basically a thin layer of your material of choice is layered then the laser goes over and melts the material, then the process repeats for the next layer. This method allows for much higher quality and and more complex prints since the excess material that is not sintered will act as your support structure. Currently SLS printers that can do anything near the quality of Shapeways are super expensive. Maybe one day everyone can own one.
  3. Yeah, he just skims over the 4 titans, the cpu and the ram. Or course the extra pump is the overkill part.
  4. Why not print out a template and then glue it to the aluminium? It would be more precise and take about the same amount of time.
  5. Gotta love tapping! You have to be careful to get the tap in straight the first time though, or you'll ruin the piece.
  6. Well most of his stuff is free from sponsors, and he is one of the founders of Hexgear, so his cases only cost him the materials. All in all he doesn't have to invest that much money, just lots of time.
  7. Not sure if I like the water block over them titanium heatsinks, you might prove me wrong like you did with cutting up the radiator in your last build. Maybe if you mod the water block to be more metalicky then it would look awesome, subbed as always
  8. Looking good. Just one question, shouldn't your pumps be below the reservoir? I don't water cool, but it would seem logical to mount the pumps lower, please correct me if I'm wrong.
  9. Glad to see you moving to Inventor. That will really speed up your work flow. If you ever need tutorials for Inventor, I would recommend TFI cad tips on youtube, his videos are really in depth and I have learnt so much from him. Also maybe checkout the Inventor 2017 beta, its 3d sketching much better than that of inventor 2016 or 2015. 3D sketching is really useful for wiring runs or tubing runs.
  10. Nice work so far. My only problem with open air builds is that you have to be prepared to clean them out regularly. What's the bracket in the back for? Another set of fans?

    Project: L3peau

    If this thing was second place then I have to see the first place build. Another great build from @L3p. How do you get such good builds every time?
  12. If you had the budget, couldn't you just get the Samsung 950 m.2 ssd? I hear they have similar speeds to the Intel 750, but in the m.2 form factor.

    DOOM - ZenModz

    Subbed. If this is your first time modelling, I really want to see your 4th or 5th time. It would probably be so realistic I'd wet myself.
  14. You could even get a razer core and hook a discrete gpu to the nuc for better performance. The overall size of the nuc + core would still be less than that of a small form factor pc.
  15. Damn, its beautiful! I would love to build something like this one day, but the price and weight are big deterents.
  16. I don't know if anyone asked this yet, but where did you get that pci bracket thing from? Build looks great by the way.
  17. If I were to build an itx build in the future, I'd probably go straight to your level of insanity. There's just something really rewarding with going with building super difficult and completing it. Good job btw.
  18. You can braze aluminium. It's not too difficult, although it might get a bit trickier over longer distances.
  19. Dude, I don't think you get this build, it's not a build where people ask why, it's a build where people ask: why not? This is a showcase build and it would not make sense for him to use anything less than 4 of the best performing consumer cards on the market. You see tons of brands doing this, even NVidia themselves put 4 titan Xs into some of their showcase builds, and they would be the first to know about the scaling of their cards over SLI. I believe he will be water cooling the cards, so the stock cooler does not make a difference. @p0Pe great build btw, the cables are already becoming beautiful. Will you be using glass tubing as well?
  20. For sous vide, Cloud you put a separate metal chamber in the middle of the tank, this would still allow fr the heat to transfer through, but not allow any spillages to go to the pc. Just imagine that: you leave your pc to do some number crunching and then come back in an hour or 2 to find your perfectly cooked fish.
  21. Wait, I forgot to ask, how much will the final build weigh. I think you said the heat sinks were 40kg, then there would be the computer hardware, so lets say 10kg and then there's the oil, what maybe 20kg. So total it would be 70kg! How do you even move that? I can only imagine that repairs would be a pain in this build. Oh and with your last build we suggested cooking eggs on the pc, now that this build should have more effective heat transfer and higher wattages, what do you think, will we finally see some fried eggs?
