Hi. I'm Hubert from Poland. On start, sorry for my english, but this is my first time when i using english forum.  
 
PC Spec:
CPU: Intel Xeon 2683v4 x2
MOB: Asus Z10PA-D8
RAM: 2x16GB Samsung 2400MHz ECC REG (planning 128GB)
GPU: Radeon Vega 64 LQ or Vega FE or PRO SSG
PSU: Moded Chieftec GPM-1000C
HDD0: 96GB RAM DISK 
HDD1: 2xSamsung PRO 256GB RAID 1
HDD2: 4xWD Black 2.5 1TB Raid 10
Screen: 17.2 4K LCD panel + lvds board. 
    
Purpose: 4K video streaming from events. 
 

First step: case. 
Case made to order in a local company. I paid for this about ~350PLN. Is very strong, I can standing on this. 
 

 
 
 
Second step: hardware
At this moment I have CPU, MOBO, 16GB RAM and CPU Coolers 


 
 
In china i buyed a lvds board, and in Poland LCD Panel. That's how I built 4K monitor. Cost? About 800 PLN.
 

 
 
PSU modding: I rebuilt the power supply, I decided to use single wires. That's why, they must be very large.
 

Bigger wires is 16mm2, smaller is 10mm2. 16mm2 is dedicated for GPU, 10mm2 is for CPUs, motherboard and DC-DC converters (5V, 3.3V). 
 
 
 
Third step: mount 
First I installed the coolers NZXT Kraken X62 and NZXT Kraken X61. 



 
Next step is montage motherboard. 
 

 
Next entries soon. I will try to answer the questions.
 

It was very long day... Lots of time i spended on soldering and measure. Almost i ended PSU. 90% cables is contected.
About 01:00 AM I tested PSU. All works fine, voltage is on good level. 
 

 

 

 

 
After tests, i forgot discharge main capacitor. And I touched this place on PCB. This was so stupid... I was shot in the finger. It hurt because in Poland we have tension about 230V, but on this capacitor it's over 300V.
After 24h i have numb finger and two holes in the skin. 
 

 

It was long day. I do lot's off fings, but none was spectacular. Much measure and soldering... I put it off, but in the end i had to do it... Final assembly PSU. Unfortunately I did not do everything. I have about 30 minutes to work tomorrow.
 

 

 

 

 
In the casing i created holes. 
I also buyed two 120mm fans. This is crazy 6k RPM Sunon http://www.tme.eu/en/details/psd1212pmbxa-f-pwm/dc12v-fans/sunon/ They fans help me in critcal temperature situation.
 
Tomorrow I show you, on the film, how they working

To match the rest of the inside of the case I decided I wanted to cover part of the front fans and the area around it. It's a sin to cover the beautiful be quiet! Silent Wings 3 fans them self, so knew it had to be semi transparent and only from the inside.
 
After playing with some ideas on paper I knew what I wanted to create. A similar solution as the inside case wall I previously created in carbon fiber with a depth and layer in white carbon.
 
 

 
Got my new Dremel 4000 ready to help me do this mod. Would be first mod on this case that isn't 100% done by hand in that case
 
 

 
First I had to put the custom case parts back together
 
 

 
This is the where I will be creating my inside front fan shroud. My thought was to go from the custom floor all the way to the top and into the side to my previous custom inside wall.
 
 

 
First, as I always do, I created a prototype in cardboard to check my idea, design flaws and find room for improvements. Felt like this idea would be awesome.
 

 

 
Took out my acrylic 5mm and went to work. I have ordred a Dremel Moto-Saw, but it's delayed, so cut a demo piece up by hand saw. Just as previous mods
 
 

 
I bought a new 130 mm drill saw for this mod and it was just perfect. The beautiful 140mm Silent Wing 3 fans measure 135mm from inside to inside on the back. Left a few overlapping mm to my advantage. After a final test it was time to do the real deal.
 
 

 
Cut a 150mm wide and 360mm long piece and measured and market center line and where to drill the holes.
 
 
 

 
The size of that 130mm drill saw is just huge, but with some slow drilling the acrylic hardly melted and it was easy to cut my holes without any incidents.
 
 

 
Not bad, not bad at all. Perfectly centered and in the right place.
 
 

 
When I bought the drill saw I also picked up some diamond shaped aluminum mesh. It will look awesome together with my carbon fiber. Took measurements and cut a large rectangle in 145x355mm.
 
 

 
After cutting a 22mm wide and 360mm long acrylic side I "glued" them together with some awesome Acrifix 116. Invisible and strong bonding - yes please.
 
 

 
I just had to use my new Dremel tool, so sanded down any residue from my bonding (it flows very richly) and to ensure a smooth edge. When wrapping in carbon, I always sand down the corner edge into a soft round edge. This to ensure a nice smooth transition in the carbon vinyl and take away any risk of cutting the vinyl when it's heated and fragile.
 
 

 
I was very happy with the outcome. First time I used Acrifix 116, but will never use anything else for my acrylic bonding. So much stronger and better then superglue that I previously used.
 
 

 
A quick test fit with the mesh loose behind the fan shroud frame. Getting more and more excited the longer I work on this mod.
 
 

 

 
As the backside of the shroud will be slightly visible from the front, when the fans isn't spinning, I painted the whole backside  black and painted the mesh black on both sides. One step closer to finish.
 
 

 
Wrapped the front on carbon fiber vinyl from 3M di-noc. Starting to get the hang of this now. Looks stunning if I can say so my self. Will make the amazing be quiet! Silent Wings 3 look even more beautiful and match their carbon looking wings.
 
 

 
I glued on the mesh with superglue and put pressure on it while setting. Finished of with some random dots of super glue in between the mesh.
 
 

 

 
VERY happy with the outcome. Even better then I imagine when I first thought of this mod. One last thing to fix. The inside white carbon edge. Just as on my inside wall. To create depth and contrast.
 
 

 
First I cut and glued (Acrifix 116) the parts together.
 
 

 
Then I wrapped it in white carbon fiber from 3M di-noc. Hard to get such a small piece (12mm height) perfect without any edges and complete coverage on all edges. Think I did alright.
 
 
The finished result.
 

I wasnt satisfied with what I achieved with the door. So I've changed my plans and decided to go with a piece of acrylic with cut out holes for ventilation and my aquaero in the middle of it. Similar to the door, but not a door...
 
I started cutting out a piece of acrylic for the aquaero. Cutting and drilling doesn't take much time at all... it's the filing and trying your best to get things straight that takes time. Tomorrow I'll start working on the piece that'll replace the door.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a LOT of trials getting the chrome look as close as possible I think we are getting there. Alphacool rad with 2 X AF120's.
Really hard work getting chrome to look okay out of a can, a warning to anyone trying it do not use a clear coat on top or it will dull the finish badly.

Well been a week or so since we posted any updates, things have been changing behind the scenes with two offers of sponsorship for the build so the hope of finishing this with the boy in the holiday is on hold while we wait for some new parts to come. 
 
The motherboard armour is something that wont change however so we have set to work planning and crafting. The cables will all screw into the housings after they are drilled into the acrylic plate. on the under side of the armour i'm using a rubber sealant just to make sure non of the fittings can come into contact with the board. 
 
 

Finally got around to mounting the power button... Still need to replace the acrylic and drill a hole for cables to leave though. One day.
 
Nice find on the bios edit, I went the expensive hands on approach and replaced the psu fans with noctua fans that just run at 100% all the time (still pretty mush silent).
 
Hm, that post is kind of long. Mine is maybe ~2 minutes from power button to windows login, and windows is in a VM, so linux has to finish booting first before windows even starts. I don't have anything plugged directly into the motherboard io except ethernet though, so that might help. Everything is connected to usb 3.0 pci-e cards, so the bios doesn't see or try to enumerate them. I've also got hyperthreading turned off for slightly better single thread performance. 
 
As for video output, mine won't send post over gpu either, It sees the onboard video chip as primary I guess. I just leave motherboard video unplugged though and the OS uses the gpu fine. I haven't used that though in ages. I'm running ubuntu server on the system with no video output and I connect to it over ssh. The windows VMs have control of the gpus.
 
Can't really tell you psu temp, linux doesn't seem to be able to read the sensors on them and I don't have anything to measure it manually. Normally though it doesn't even need to load share across the two power supplies unless both gpus and cpus are running 100% (so basically never). My guess at max system draw is around 600-650 watts (my 1070 is undervolted a bit), So I really doubt the power supplies are struggling with heat at all.
 
 
You can definitely feel the heat coming out of the radiators and in my old setup it could get a little warm where I was sitting. As you can see now though the radiators dump the heat towards the wall, so I don't get the direct heat anymore. I'm sure it does add on to our ac portion of the power bill each month, but we live in an apartment sandwiched on every side by other units, so we get to benefit from having cooled space outside the walls instead of the hot summer heat of outdoors, so it's not too bad.
 
 
 
Haha, thanks but I did a pretty lazy job myself! I had to make the case because I didn't have the server chassis, and I still haven't bothered to replace the broken acrylic sheet or drill a hole for cables to leave the case.
 
 
Side note:
I'm hoping to have the money to move to a threadripper build sometime after ryzen gen 2 releases and do this over but MUCH smaller. I like these power supplies though, so I'm thinking I'll keep them and get a dc-dc atx psu like this one https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/more-g-unique-bto-psus-are-now-available-direct-order.1983/ 
I found some connectors for the psu on ebay and made a test board for it:

 

 
I should probably put a switch on it, but for now the sense pin is just wired to ground, so the psu will always be on. Works fine though  I just need to get some 14 or 16 gauge wire and a 4 pin atx plug to solder onto it and I'll have a functional 750w 12v power supply to use for who-knows-what till I build my next pc.

Build is finished and loop got filled. I hope you like it











































Next week i will post more photos with lighting system on, and PC on the desk - i'm currently waiting for workers to instal new glass desk.

Yes. This is awsome

This is really amazing! I do not know what kind of power supply that is, but if it is working for you then that is absolutely great! I really like the case and think it will work great when you are finished.

It was long day. I do lot's off fings, but none was spectacular. Much measure and soldering... I put it off, but in the end i had to do it... Final assembly PSU. Unfortunately I did not do everything. I have about 30 minutes to work tomorrow.

Wow this is cool man hope you can get a good deal on a couple GPUs
 
 

Looks nice, excited to see the future updates.

Cmon, can you not use 2 different coolers? Really fkin bothers me...

Glad you like it. Means the world. Will do a big mod run this weekend, so hope to add a lot of fun updates. Next step is to mod the inside front and create a large fan cover for the 3 front fans. Stay tuned
