Project: Wounded Warrior will be military-themed and auction off on Ebay. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to support Wounded Warrior Project

Specs include:

The latest Intel 8th-generation Core I5-8600K 6-Core unlocked processor

A military-themed MSI Gaming Z370 Tomahawk motherboard

An NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition Graphics Card

A slew of CORSAIR products including:

Vengeance C70 Military Green Case
16GB of Vengeance RGB DDR4
Force MP500 480GB M.2 SSD
H100i V2 Water-cooling
RM650x Modular 650 Watt Power Supply
LL120 RGB Fans & the Node Pro controller

A HUGE thanks to our generous sponsors below:

 

 

CableMod for providing their brand new Pro Series ModMesh cables

 

 

 

Jmmods for crafting custom fanguards and a gpu backplate

 

 

SSP Vinyl for custom case graphics

We are also going to be replacing the stock window (which has fan holes) with a custom one that is clear to provide a better interior view, as well as adding a PSU shroud to the design and some other odds and ends we're working on customizing for the build, including an attempt to add working analog style gauges to the front of the case similar to this:

 

 

Stay tuned for regular updates!

Sweet! Hopefully this won't be like the time a dude on YouTube made an ad to sell his girlfriend's Honda Accord on eBay and ended up getting over $150,000 in the auction before eBay restarted it for whatever reason.

What's the starting cost for the auction?

[MartinoMods]

Right now the system is still being built and a few pieces being sourced, so not ready to go to auction yet.  Haven't determined what the starting auction price will be on Ebay, any tips?  Start at $0.01, $1, $100?

WARNING NSFW!  

 

Don't let your boss catch you looking at these provocative pics!

Changed out the stock window and also removed the drive bays since we're only using M.2 SSD on this build

Thanks NicNac, really excited for this project as I have friends & family who have served or are presently serving across all branches of the armed forces.

HUGE Thanks to CableMod for their generous donation of the new PRO Series cables in Greenstone with aluminum combs to match our build theme, these are going to look amazing inside the case!

Ooooo Excited for this build!

[dronebynsa]

Man, I was sold on CableMod for my current build already... but that's amazing of them to do!

[MartinoMods]

The MSI Z370 motherboard is perfect for a military-themed build!

Now it's starting to get legit. Painted the heatspreaders on these Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 to match the military-theme, loving it!

Case graphics for the side panel are complete, generously donated by SSPVinyl, they did a bangup job!

 

[MartinoMods]

Custom gpu backplate and fan guards donated by Jmmods are looking sweet!

 

 

[MartinoMods]

A new sponsor has come onboard and we just received the package they shipped.  We'll be announcing their involvement soon, any guesses who it is?
 

[MartinoMods]

MartinoMods is happy to announce our newest sponsor for this project, FrozenCpu.com!

 

They saw what we were doing and reached out to extend their interest in assisting with the build. 

 

After looking through their site we found some items that will really help bring this build together, including some gauges and a bezel to fit them in, plus some cool "Made in America" badging.

 

Alex got us the shipment quickly and the addition of these gauges is going to help us get this project completed much sooner because of it.

Full video is now live so you can see this beauty in action.

 

Original plan was to run a 30 day auction on Ebay, but it appears that is restricted to the real estate section and fixed price listings.  Auctions cap out at 10 days max on Ebay.

As such, we've scheduled the auction to begin Thursday March 1st at 7pm EST and end on Sunday March 11th at 8pm EST.

 

There is a link to the auction in the video description, although be aware that since it's scheduled and not live yet, clicking that link will just give you an error message from Ebay until it's live.

The auction is live on Ebay now and will run through Sunday March 11th at 8pm EST.

 

Good luck to all those bidding and we greatly appreciate anyone who takes time to share the auction link and help us spread the word.

You'll see on the Ebay link that we have 100% feedback rating and that 100% of the auction proceeds will be donated to Wounded Warrior Project

[MartinoMods]

Only two days left to bid on the auction, current bid is $1,025 which is less than half the components cost of this system, before factoring in all the customizations and special parts added.

 

Someone may be getting one heck of a deal, auction ends Sunday night at 8pm EST on Ebay, don't miss out!
