As soon as saw that video, before i even checked this thread, i knew it had to be your rig, simply stunning. But, maybe you missed an opportunity to really show of the rgbness of the mobo. Either i'm still in love!

Is that a metallic acrylic? Dope.

Wanna team up, you can have this buld and I'll take msi krait build

Love the build, but why did you go with a massive hole to fit your watercooling pipes through the psu shroud, instead of passthrough adapters.

So I finally got my cnc working properly, I got the latest version of ugs and it worked! Then the spindle broke. So I guess all that work went to nothing. Luckily Inventables customer service is super fast. (They replied within a day of my email.) And they gave me the option of either getting the same spindle again or upgrading to the quiet cut or a dewalt 611. I was considering the dewalt for its shear POWER!! But inventables told me that it would only run of 110v, and in australia we use 240v, so I would have to use some sort of transformer. The other problem with the dewalt is that you have to adjust the speed on the actual spindle and you can't control it through gcode, plus the dewalt would be a whole lot louder, meaning that i would have to stop work earlier in order to not annoy my neighbours. So the natural move would be to go with the quietcut. What it lacks in power it males up for in quietness and gcode control, not to mention the er11 collets, meaning I can use all of my bits without an adapter. So no more updates in the build for this year since I will be on holiday. So a merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone.

Is it something to do with the new asus mobo that is designed to use a xeon, but is meant for gaming. I cant remeber the name.

New design looks better IMO

^^Haha, I was thinking the same thing!

Should have flown down to Melbourn to see this. Much regret. Much sad Build is amazing as always (I should just make a script to post this in every one of you threads). Hopefully I will one day be as good as you are.

So it's the AMD cpu . The red on the cables matches the theory I guess. Hopefully the processors are good, I've been wanting to see if AMD can finally make a competitive cpu.

Hmm.. this build is under nda, meaning a product launch of some sort. Either the new Nvida cards coming out next year, or maybe the new AMD cpus. Either way, I'm subbed

Dude, you seriously can't see the 3x120s?

Here you have a slightly better view of the damage (sorry for the bad quality I took these at night in the garage). IMG_1057 by nmrci1, on Flickr So I've spent the past week trying to mill this piece sufficiently so that I can finish it of on the Dremel, but due to the fact that the bit I was using was tapered at the end and you cannot get the sheet steel to sit perfectly fat, there will always be a high region or a low region, none of the cuts end up being the correct thickness. So I got the flat end mill in order to make sure that all the cuts are the same width. But then I ran into another problem :angry: . For some reason the CNC mill keeps stopping randomly in the middle of the project. At first I tried to stop the Raspberry Pi from sleeping, since other people with similar problems had done the same and that worked for them. That didn't work, so I switched it over so that the CNC would run of my laptop, that didn't fix it either. So after a whole night of troubleshooting my dad determined that it might the new adaptive feed rate feature I think it was in the latest version of GRBL which could have been causing the problem, since it only supported feedrates of more that 45mm/min, but we were running much less. So we tried disabling that, and the CNC got a little bit further through the gcode, but then it struck again. So I still haven't been able to figure out this problem, if anyone out there is an expert on grbl could they please tell me what I'm doing wrong. So while I was trying to figure out this problem I also decided to try to solve a different problem in the build – the mobo tray flex. I started by marking out the area where the supports would be situated. IMG_1041 by nmrci1, on Flickr Then bent up this piece of aluminium angle to fit the shape IMG_1042 by nmrci1, on Flickr The tray has ridges that mean that the aluminium angle would not sit flush IMG_1043 by nmrci1, on Flickr So I made some shims out of aluminium sheet IMG_1044 by nmrci1, on Flickr Then I had to get rid of some pesky holes IMG_1045 by nmrci1, on Flickr Here it is all riveted together, I had to add the 2 going diagonally for extra support to straighten it out further. IMG_1094 by nmrci1, on Flickr And here’s the front, I know, some of you will complain about the amount of ugly rivets, but you won’t be able to see this in the final build since the mobo will be covering it up. IMG_1095 by nmrci1, on Flickr So I hope you guys found that riveting :lol: , but I probably won’t be able to finish the back panel before I have to go on holidays, so this build will have to resume next year. I’ll have some content premade in order to satisfy your cravings over the time when I’m overseas. Thanks for looking, nmil

Dude it's totally in the front man :lol:

Thanks For those of you who are interested in my CNC setup

So finally an update for the build, I was trying to save up for one massive update with lot's of progress, but that didn't work out. I finally got around to brazing the feet to the case. IMG_1033 by nmrci1, on Flickr IMG_1034 by nmrci1, on Flickr Pretty spiffy if I say so myself. Speaking of spiffy, here's how to make a pop rivet disappear nmil style IMG_1035 by nmrci1, on Flickr Here you can see the mobo tray flex I was talking about before: IMG_1037 by nmrci1, on Flickr Now to the bad news, I spent the past 3 days machining the back panel on the X-carve. In the process of drilling the holes going around of the outside of the panel, I wore down 2 of the 3mm bits that I have, one of which has lasted my family 7 years or so. May it forever rest in peace. Then it was time to actually mill the piece. This was one of the reasons why the panel took so long, it is actually bigger than the machining bed of my X-carve, so I had to do it in sections, meaning that I would have to first take gcode from cam bam (by far the best cam program I have used) and then splice into 2. Here you can see that the cut is going fine: IMG_1009 by nmrci1, on Flickr But then when the bit made it all the way through the steel, all hell broke loose: IMG_1018 by nmrci1, on Flickr You can see in the photo that the bit is cutting where it shouldn't be, so the piece is ruined. :angry: When the bit fully penetrates the steel, it gets stuck and cause for the x axis to skip a few notches on the drive belt, meaning that everything goes out of alignment. I tried to increase the spindle speed when the CNC fully penetrates in order to try to stop the bit for getting stuck, but that didn't work either. But, I'm not gonna let this piece of steel defeat me, so I have to start all over again suppose. This time I got some drill bits designed for doing many shall holes in steel so that I don't have to sacrifice any more expensive drill bits. IMG_1038 by nmrci1, on Flickr And I got some more sheet steel IMG_1040 by nmrci1, on Flickr I updated the CNC setup (I'll have a video coming out on it tomorrow) IMG_1012 by nmrci1, on Flickr The new plan is to just engrave the letters instead of fully penetrating, and all the other cuts will only be done to have the depth then finished with a dremel or jig saw depending on how lazy I am. Thanks for looking, nmil

^^ Glad to see your build making a comeback

That tubing looks very intriguing.

Can I have the Benq 32" if you don't want it?

Iu could my route by getting an old pc case from the recycling market and salvaging the mobo tray (you can get one for $5) All the hoales are already drilled and tapped and then you can just figure out a way of attaching the tray to the rest of the build (I just used screws) save you some time marking out precise holes.

Go the acer route, it has less pixels to drive in comparison to the PG27AQ, so you can get higher frame rates, although, I heard Asus may be releasing an ultrawide panel with gsync. So it may be worth to see if Asus can give you an early sample to showcase.

Asus one looks dope with the brush aluminium.

Are those 140s or 120s? +1

Much sexy

Basically started with one of those beds with the desk underneath, but it was too tall for my house, so I removed 15cm of the bottom. This meant I had to create a custom desk, I used an IKEA tabletop and some kitchen cabinets. When I finish this PC build I can make a video going over it if you want. Thanks :lol:
