Featured Build Logs Competition #004 - Submission Thread

Welcome to what is a regular feature now on LinusTechTips - Feature Build Logs.

 

Feel free to submit your build log to be eventually voted on and the winner featured on the WAN Show.

 

The thread will be open for about a month, or until at least 7 submissions are entered.

 

 

RULES

 

A few basic rules...

 

1 - Only submit your own build log. You cannot submit if you have won in the past three months.

2 - Your build must be completed. Do not submit "In Progress" builds.

3 - Description cap of about 200 words.

4 - Do not include specs, please have a detailed list of specs in your actual Build Log thread.

5 - Please do not re-submit a Build if it is currently being voted on. If it doesn't win, you can re-submit on the next submission thread.

6 - Please do not use the attachment function for your images. Attachments don't get ported between posts, so when we make the voting thread, this makes things rather difficult. Instead use image tags like so:

 

[img=http://url.to/your-image.jpeg]

 

7 - Please only post a single image - so make sure it is a good one.

 

^ All invalid submissions will be ignored ^

 

Accepted submissions will be moved to new a "voting" version of the thread. The top voted system will be featured on the WAN show or in the after party. One other submitted system will also be picked by “the staff" (Linus, Slick and Mods).

Build Title: Project: Ravage


Description: Project: Ravage is a custom designed and built watercooled computer table from scratch. This was my first time watercooling and being only 17 years old it was challenging but the final results are amazing. I made this table at school for my timber major work and its final mark will go towards my final school result.

Build Title: The silent cube

Thread URL: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/351134-finished-the-silent-cube-pushing-passive-cooling-to-the-limit

Description: Yes the design is totally dictated by the cooling, but that doesn't mean it has to be ugly ;)  And yes, all 500 watts kicked out by the system are cooled passive, and no, it does not overheat.

This build is an antipole to all these LED covered, hardline watercooled show systems. They look very nice, but you need sunglasses and headphones when using them. So I built my 50kg heavy black box that is totally inaudible and maintenance free, but has still a lot of compute power under the cover.

Ok, I have to admit I added one gimmick: I recover energy from the heat output of the GPUs with a thermoelectric generator to charge my smart-phone while gaming.

Build Title: ThePylon - Supporting the Future

Thread URL: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/437596-thepylon-55-supporting-the-future/

Description:

Well its that time again, time for a new build log that is! This time we are looking at my HTPC/Server ThePylon. It has gone through many changes over the years and at one point was even two computers. This time however it made it over 3 years with out any significant changes, as its name suggests. Things were actually starting to go and be unstable. The 2TB Hitachi drives were still from shortly after the flooding in Thailand that screwed up the HDD market up until the recent year or so. All but one had failed and already been RMA'd once. The build in general needed an update.

ThePylon has always been the name of my server since its inception in an ancient all steel beige super tower (let me know if you get the reference :P ). The 5.25in bays were compartmentalized from the motherboard and it actually had a tray for the mother board as well as a PSU compartment. It is the backbone of all of my data, essentially a huge file share. Back then I also had a separate PC acting as a HTPC for anime, movie, and music playback as well as recording TV and gaming. Both of these systems were on all the time so I felt the most efficient thing would be to combine them.

Build Title: HEX GEAR R40 - Engineering Statioon


Description: I needed a new workstation for myself, so I started a build with the idea of making a simple workstation that just had to get the job done. As most of my other mods, things quickly spiraled out of controll, and this ended up being one of the most complicated builds I have done to date, with a completely custom rear distributing watercooling plate, and a custom lasercut/engraved cable routing plate.

No real deadline, we just close it whenever. :) Maybe another month or so. If you don't make it this time, there will be more.

 

Multiple entries... nothing really against it, as long as none have previously won.

Build Title: Air 00

Thread URL: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/392550-build-log-air-00-air-240-shots-of-completed-build/page-5

Description: I really wanted to do something with the Air 240 from corsair, and so I started this build with no idea as to where it would end up. Now it's become quite the project and used way more of my time & money than I had originally thought! I don't have access to fancy tools, or loads of money to make an amazing case from scratch or have everything milled by a machine shop, so everything you see was done with a can of spray paint, a dremel and a heat gun. After hitting some bumps along the way, I have a computer I can truly call my own.

Build Title: Project Erebus
Thread URL: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/364009-build-log-erebus-x99-900d-h2o/
Description: After several months planning and work, Project Erebus has finally reached completion. The massive 900D houses a full rigid watercooling loop, with the dual D5 pumps and one of the radiators hidden away below the midplate, and a Coldzero kit giving a clean look in the top section. Erebus is an ancient Greek god of darkness, and I tried to capture that feeling with the theme for this build. The custom-sleeved cabling, sprayed fans and custom-made purple pastel coolant from Mayhems were all carefully designed to fit perfectly, set on the black background. Other mods include the black Plastidip I/O ports on the motherboard, and stealth 5.25" bay fan controller, which really complete the clean look.

Build Title: Project The X Desk | The X Room


Description: This project started in 2012 from an old attic to a modern gaming cave. The whole desk is made out of wood with the tought of a watercooled system. You have 2 reservoirs in the middle and the main system. 2 rads on the outside legs and 2 in the inside legs, tubing and cables can be reached via doors inside the legspace. The desk is made for 2 fully grown gamers great for a mini lan party. The desk has a red and black theme the room itself has a black and white theme fully covered by RGB LEDS so the whole room can change from color. I'm glad this project is "done" and I hope you guys are enjoying it I sure do! :D

Too much competition in this thread, by far one of the hardest to win.
