Been a laptop gamer for many years but finally decided to do a full setup for when I do get to spend some time at home. Started this little project back in january and feel I've made some good progress. I still have some plans to come but thought I would share some pictures of it. I will apologize in advance for the photos as they were all just taken with my phone and not nearly enough were taken along the way.
PC specs
-4790k 4.8@ 1.3v
-H80 AIO (I was originally planning on getting the H100 but was offered the H80 for free because it was missing one fan but was otherwise brand new)
-32GB Crucial Balistix
-MSI Z97S sli krait
-2X crucial MX200 960gb SSDs
-Gigabyte Windforce GTX970 (This was just to tide me over till I could get a 1080FTW that I have pre-ordered and have still yet to receive it)
-4X 120mm Ring Fans
-2X 140mm Riing Fans
-Custom white cables for the GPU and MB that will be installed with the new graphics card when it shows up.
Rest of the Room.
This setup involves a lot of LEDs that I feel work with the desk very nicely(hell they require their own 200W power supply)The LEDs are also being supplied with 14V and mounted to aluminum stock to help dissipate heat from being overdriven. I also made up a custom harness for the LEDs so there are disconnects between each section of desk and for each monitor. In these pictures not much time was spent on cable management as I was waiting for my 1500W sinewave UPS to show up but I feel it still turned out fairly nice. trying to go for a simple zombie theme with black and blue w/ green accents running throughout. The upper monitors are on full articulating mounts and can be swung down beside but I much prefer it in this setup(except for Flight Simulators) otherwise I'm only ever gaming on the 3440X1440 34" main display.
I would like to hear suggestions on things that could be improved.
I also did just receive these and am wondering If and where I should mount them. I'm thinking of mounting the two axes between the window and where the machete rack is and the throwing knives in some sort of pattern above the pc tower. At the same time I kind of like the simplicity of just the machetes and insane lighting. Also any good zombie theme ultrawide wallpapers anyone could recommend would be much appreciated. Its surprising how little ultrawide support there is.
I'm creating a new case mod with Cooler Master's Mastercase 5 / Pro Mid Tower. "Mastercase Racing" will be the catalyst for new bolt-on accessories and modifications for this case by Mnpctech. The custom paint finish will be inspired race by Steve McQueen's GULF PORSCHE 917 from his 1971 movie, "Le Mans."
The MasterCase Mid Tower draws it's inspiration from Cooler Master's MasterConcept from 2016 CES. Cooler Master wants you to have absolute control over how your case looks and functions. You can adjust the exterior structure and it's look through a range of replacement panels and doors. Each choice changes the look of the exterior while giving you flexibility of the interior layout. Order a new Mastercase 5 or Pro from Newegg, HERE
The legendary PORSCHE 917 is the inspiration for the custom paint on this case mod. The 917 only raced for three seasons. It placed 1st in fourteen of the twenty one races it entered 1969 through 1971. The only Gulf Porsche 917 to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the one driven in Steve McQueen's "Le Mans" movie. His 917 from the movie was chassis # 022 and purchased in 1970, from the Porsche by Steve McQueen's movie production company, Solar Productions. It was also the company that would bring the movie "Le Mans" to the big screen. This is the car that McQueen's character, Michael Delaney, starts the race in, and "crashes" late in the race, "writing the car off." The car that was crashed was really a Lola T-70, painted and rebodied, to look like a 917. Many innovations in cinematography, were first tried in this movie. They even went so far, as to weld brackets to the front frame work of the 917, so they could mount a camera to shoot Steve, and the other drivers, in the cockpit. I'm debating about replacing the #22 with #5 to represent the Mastercase 5.
Display the hardware in your Cooler Master MasterCase Pro & 5 with the "Easy PC Mastercase Window Panel" It allows a full view inside your PC without any obstructions. "Easy PC Window Panel" is professionally laser cut from 1/8" thick 100% cast acrylic. It has embedded magnets to make installation and removal fast and easy. The window panel is the same size as the factory steel panel for the Cooler Master MasterCase Pro & 5.
The Mastercase 5 chassis and exterior parts before prepping them with Red Scotchbrite for our custom paint finish. I will be utilizing House of Kolor and PPG products.
Here is the hardware I'd like to use for the "Mastercase Racing" Gaming PC build, but my budget may have to be limited for another personal project. I'd love the INTEL Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W processor to be our race car engine. My first choice of motherboard is GIGABYTE's GA-Z170X-SOC FORCE. It's touted as the ultimate Z170 "Super OverClock" solution from GIGABYTE. It also offers a vast array of user features that includes 22 phases of digital power, cool new OC Touch buttons, durable PCIe slots with metal trim. The SOC FORCE has a large heat sink layout with heat pipe dissipation system and water channel technology to incorporate hybrid cooling through air and liquid supply. This allows the VRMs and MOSFETs to stay cool under load when voltages are pushed high
Brad is applying final coat of Gulf Racing Orange paint, this was custom mixed from specs for the 1970 Porsche 917 race car from Steve McQueen's movie, "Le Mans" We applied this paint to the EK radiator and misc Mastercase accessories
I'll be utilizing "5" as race number to represent Cooler Master's Mastercase 5
