    Time to start putting parts in.
     

    ^ Mobo/psu/ram/cpu/hdd rack thing in
     

    ^ Diff shot
     

    ^ Back where the hdd is mounted
     

    ^ Psu grill cover
     

    ^ Back fan put in and running the 20 pin power
     

    ^ Cards in, the bottom is not dusty its just overspray and i ran out of black
     

    ^ Back
     

    ^ Test fitting the front fans, still need to paint the screws sand.
     
    Starting to come together, need to get some zip ties to make that mobo power cable look better.  Also need to find some 3 pin to molex to power the front fans.

    Hello everyone,
     
    I'm doing a few esthetic upgrades to my rig and wanted to share. This is the first rig I ever built about a year ago.
     
    Raw specs:
    MB: Asus Sabertooth Z77
    CPU: 3770k @ 4.3 GHz
    GPU: ASUS Direct CUII GTX 660 ti SLI
    Cooler: H60
    RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance (1600 MHz 9-9-9-24 if I recall correctly)
    PSU: Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 750 Watt
     
    The first thing I wanted to do was sleeve my PSU properly instead of the crappy standard sleeving. I didn't do everything but I did do the main visible cables: 24 pin, CPU 8 pin and all 6 pin connectors.
     
    I'll watercool later on and probably update the thread.
     
    This is how my rig started out:
     

     

     
    And this is the package I received from MDPC
     

     

     
     
    The 24 pin connector had a few double cables so I fixed those by cutting them and soldering a few pieces together
     

     
     
    And applying lots of heatshrink
     

     
     

     
     
    And this is the finished result
     

     

     
     
    Thanks for watching, I have more pictures if people would like to see a few more
    Hope you enjoyed

    Nice work, I would probably paint or do something to that SLI bridge, It looks absolutely terrible ! But the rest of the build is great,

    is that a caselabs case? this build is very interesting and i can see why it took so long. it looks a bit cluttered and messy though and for my tasts a little too much UV reactent stuff but thats to do with the theme it really fits though. if you can you should clean up your cable runs and your tubing make the tubing shorter then i think it will look better but thats my opinion. still its a great build congrats man if you make improvments id cant wait to see em. also more pics plz

    Hey guys sorry for the very long wait for an update. I am on Vacation however and won't be able to post any pictures on my progress I have not abandoned this project and won't think about it. So far I have not ordered that parts considering I'm away from my house. But in a weeks time I should have everything and should get some progress before school starts for me.

    Also my friend is cooking up something nice with his CNC mill They are something along this render here that I found after my other friend made the proper cad files.

    Quick update!

    I know there has been very little activity on my end with this project, things have gotten very crazy in my day to day life so I have no had a whole lot of time to devote to this, after I finished the CAD model in the last updated post, I realized just how massive it was going to be. My goal is to make it smaller, this will probably mean using different parts than I originally thought, but so be it.

    I had some free time during lunch today to do some sketching, these were just a few things I came up with off the top of my head, I will continue working when I have time and post what comes up as I go. Please note, some of these were done very quickly so they are not of the best looking quality.

    Stay Tuned!

    Update time!

    So its been about a week since I started working on this project and already I'm having ups and downs with the project, but it comes with the territory and with each challenge and set back, it make me put more time and effort into creating a better final design than I originally hoped.  As the saying goes, you learn more from you failures than your successes.

    So at the beginning of this project I was unsure of exactly what hardware I was going to use (Mobo, GPU, PSU, etc)  Of course the parts are going to influence how big the final design is going to be as well as how they are laid out within the case.

    So I decided I would try for a full ATX motherboard and a few extra goodies to model up.  Well, after I got most of the model completed, I realized that the final model was going to be massive, 15" wide, 15" tall, and 36" tall.  Overall, I think this might be just a tab bit overkill, the sheer height of it dwarfs most full tower cases, its a full foot higher that my 800D, which is large case on its own.  So for the time, im headed back to the drawing board to see what I can come up with, might be moving to a small mITX or mATX motherboard for the next version.












    Back to the drawing board I go!

    you may want to use the AF-140 from Corsair. They have white,blue, and red rings around them.All 3 colours are included with the fan, you can even have no ring if you choose to.

    Edit: get the silent models though the performance model is a bit loud.
