The Cake is a Lie - Water Cooled Portal PC

Thanks guys :)

 

So I've started 3d printing a couple decorations

(I use a flashforge creator pro with simplify 3d)

And I had to hand paint everything

Next I did a little decorative work to the tubes

And finally I added the tiles to the case. These are actually coasters I found on thingiverse and scaled down. Once I'm done with the other prints I'll make a post to give credit to the creators of everything I printed.

(ignore the apple juice my brother thought it was funny to bring me 4 gallons of it when I asked for a cup 😂

Now it's time for me to tackle the cable management. Wish me luck lol 🤞

Haven't yet but I was thinking about getting it. My current pc has been having some issues and I think my gpu is slowly dying so I haven't played much of anything lately. I'm getting real excited to finish up the new pc though so I can start playing some more games again :D

So I just ordered one of these things

41sBYi05naL._AC_SY400_.jpg.fb8149900f444924ecf9196656b7018d.jpg

It's a speaker for a diy greeting card recording. This will be used to add audio every time I turn my pc on. If anyone's curious I'll obviously post pictures but you basically just record what you want on it and wire it to the motherboard speaker so the sound activates when the computer posts :)

 

It's going to have the game audio "Power up initiated" from when glados comes back online and maybe some of the radio music or something lol

Cable management is now done and everything is connected. It took forever with how many cables this thing has but I'm glad it's done. Getting close to finishing up the build now :)

The portal pc is now pretty much finished :D

I may still add a few more small decorations like some 3d printed turrets down by the button but for now it's all working great and it's been moved into the house so I can start using it. I think it turned out pretty great. Hope you like it and thanks for following :)

 

Btw I added a couple small details like painting around the temp screens and adding a button and companion cube
