Redox - By August

[Owndblood]

big fan of rat rods. well at least looking at them driving them is a pain in the ass. so i really like the look of this build. Are you planing on doing any kind of pinstriping?

I'm not sure what the final version will look like on this build as I usually come up with more and more ideas as I go along! so I can't actually answer that question yet

Glad you like it!

[Owndblood]

Hello there! I thought I'd launch another update now while I've got some spare time.

The latest addition to the build is an extremely good looking SLI bridge from EVGA, this has been given it's own special touch to fit the build, pictures will be shown further down.

Roughly a week ago I was sitting and looking at the computer, and I realised that the new backpanel that I made looked a bit dull and could use some touching up, so I decided to stance out the REDOX logo across the panel to make it stick out a bit more, the text would also act as tiny gaps to reveal the backside of the computer, so that you could see the cables running across and the SSD's that I will be mounting on the back fairly soon. It was a tedious job but I think it turned out great, a hundred+ holes later and a few hours with the hand file and it was finished!

 

Here are the results

looks awsome

Super creative and practical build ! Its probably the most portable ATX build ever made ! IN WIN should buy your motherboard mounting design.

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃   would have also looked cool on the back but it might have gotten you frisked if you took it on a plane.

This looks so incredible and it's so fantastically unique! Damn!

Yeah, I'm thinking that text would've been quite hard to file out aswell hehe.

Hello everybody! I decided to post a short text update while waiting for some new parts, and I didn't want to rush an update. This update will be covering some news about the project, and also some new purchases. Great news!
EKWB decided to step in and support the project with some watercooling gear, a huge thank you to EKWB the people at  for making this possible.

I will be covering the parts I am recieving hopefully, next week. So with all that, it's not much left on this project.

Final stretch incoming!

There's also a package with a kit of Crucial DDR4 2133MHz 32GB (4x8GB) on its way to my door.

Next update will be covering the modifications to the fan brackets, start button and hopefully some scratch cables, if I recieve all the supplies in time. Until then, have a good time and I will see you next week!

[Owndblood]

Hello there! I thought I should throw out a little update before I take my short vacation, a few packages from EKWB Should be arriving in time for next weeks update, so expect a few new parts incoming! This update will mostly be covering the new RAM modules.
At last I recieved my set of 32GB Crucial DDR4 memory, (2133MHz, 4x8GB)
These sticks were given their special touch with old heatsinks from DDR2 OCZ Reaper ram sticks, the heatshinks were given their own rust finish to suit the build
Here we have some pictures!

As you can see the project is starting to come together, the only things missing are the graphics cards and waterblocks, the rest of the watercooling willbe arriving and hopefully be showed in the next update
Expect an update soon regarding the SSD's as soon as I figure out where I want to mount them, thank you all for following!
See you next week

[Owndblood]

Hello there! I will start off by showing some of the new components for the build, I'm happy to say that 2x GTX 970 reference cards are at the post office and will be showcased in the buildinglog by the weekend, but for this update I decided to showcase something a bit more special, actually a package from EKWB that kindly stepped in and decided to contribute to this build, a huge thank you!

 

What's shown in the pictures are
EKWB SE Coolstream 240 Radiators
EKWB DDC Pump / Acetal top & black cover
Mattblack 16/10 tubing
EKWB 16/10 compression fittings
EKWB G1/4 pass-through
And a bottle of EKWB clear coolant

The only things missing in the watercooling department are the waterblocks and a few angles that should be arriving soon.

Here are a few pictures!

 

That's all for this update!
Thank you all for following.

[Owndblood]

Hello there! It's finally time for a new update as the new graphic cards have arrived and are slotted into the motherboard, so I thought I'd post a new update including some of the watercooling supplies and the new GPU's inside the computer, unfortunately this update was slightly delayed as I first ordered 2 Gainward GTX 970 cards and quite quickly changed my mind and went for the EVGA 970's instead. As they had much better looking waterblocks. 

But now the cards are here and the build can finally continue! The waterblocks for the GPUs and CPU will be purchased this weekend hopefully and you can surely expect some more modding throughout the coming updates.

 

Onwards to the pictures!

love the finished project you should post it on the inwin forum

Wow, I'm sorry I just found this now. Beautiful work, the application of rust here is beautiful!

Hello there! I'm back after a short break as I'm mostly waiting for ny parts, finally the new CPU block has arrived and already recieved a rusty finish, most of the watercooling parts will be given some kind of touch to suit the build a bit better but I'm uncertain on what I will be doing to the components as I do not want to overwhelm the build with rust.

The new reservoir also arrived, though I can't make up my mind where to place it, I have a few ideas and I'm thinking of doing something a bit odd and make it poke out from the back of the PSU, what do you guys think?
The fan brackets have been removed and also got a rust finish, now I'm just waiting on some custom decals with different texts and logos to blend the rust a bit further. We're getting closer and closer to assembly!

Unfortunately I haven't recieved the GPU block yet as it has been delayed by the post office, but apart from that only a few modifications need to be done before I can start assembling everything. A big thank you to everyone who's following the buildlog
I really appreciate your feedback.

See you next week!

Hello there! I've fiddled around a bit more with the computer during this weekend and though that this would be a suitable time to post a little update regarding the waterblocks. All of the waterblocks have been mounted and test fitted on the motherboard for some glamour shots. I must say, I absolutely love the look of everything put together, and I think it will improve even more once the GPU blocks have gotten a few custom touches to fit in further.

The GPU blocks are currently untouched, but they are on the queue to get some custom touches in the modding department. Nothing huge but a few minimal changes to make it fit the look of the build.
Also, some good news! I spoke to BeQuiet! and we decided to send me one of their new PSU's from their Pure Power lineup, which I think will suit the build perfectly. So that will defintely be featured in the build log next week.

Onwards to the pictures!

[Owndblood]

Hello! The new PSU has arrived and recieved some time in front of the NEW CAMERA!
I've just updated my go-to camera to a fullformat mirrorless one from Sony, to replace my previous Canon EOS 750D. The new camera is the Sony Alpha 7, so hopefully you will notice a big difference in the photos
I appreciate all the feedback that I can get so don't be hesitant to tell me what you think!

The power supply in question is the newest edition from BeQuiet called the Pure Power 9, 700W.
If you've got any questions regarding this new product, feel free to ask!
The project is on the finishline and the only things missing are the angled fittings for the watercooling, they are ordered and on their way. So it shouldn't take too long to finish this project!
Onwards to the pictures.

As always, thank you so much for following!
See you next update

[Owndblood]

Hi there! I had some time over and decided to post a small update, not a lot has happened since the last updated as I'm still being held back by the fact that my fittings still haven't arrived. Hopefully they should arrive soon. I took the motherboardplate to my brothers job and drilled out the holes for the pass-through fittings, these are to act as channels for the CPU, GPU's and one of the two radiators. A total of 5 pass-throughs. The rest is just a mockup to get a perspective on how everything's going to look, unfortunately I can't show you how I am routing the tubing as the angled fittings still haven't arrived and it is impossible to tube the build up without it. 
Next week I'll get an update out on the mods I am planning for the GPU's, PSU, reservoir and what not. Until then, thank you for following!
See you next update.

[Owndblood]

Hello there! Time for a short update with some good news! All the fittings have arrived and I'm looking forward to putting this beast back together during the weekend. All the components have been tested again to ensure that everything works properly. So it shouldn't take a lot of time until this is put together and in order.

It's alive!

The only things missing are the fasteners for the GPU's which I am yet to figure out, and re-painting the SSD's. I've taken some pictures to give you a brief view on how the tubing is going to be routed. I'd like to thank everyone for following this build, not too far until completion!

The new PSU has received its own touch with the help of a rusted fan grill and a rusty outline along the fan, I decided to mount the reservoir on to the grill of the PSU to give it an external look and hopefully gain some more attention on the back part of the case.

Pictures!

Fittings galore!

[colinreay]

I am loving it! Are you going to rust the fittings? I think it is just the right amount of rust right now, and imo like the fittings in black!

[MadG4mer]

I think that the reservoir hidden or somewhere inside the case would look better, as some of commands have said, they like the portability of the case. Some old 3,5" bay reservoir would propably fit under the psu. But amazing build in any case! (No pun intended)

I've thought about it but I've decided to leave them black as I think the rust might become too powerful

Thank you! I've tried playing around with different locations for the reservoir. Yes, it would fit under the PSU, but I'm planning to mount my DDC pump under the PSU, which leads to no room left for the reservoir, this is the best case scenario for me as it really helps with tube routing between the pump and reservoir and mainly accessability for filling, draining etc..

[Owndblood]
