The Nightmare Build – Pyramid PC Pt. 2

[AlexTheGreatish]

We meticulously planned the placement of every component in the Pyramid PC to make sure it all would fit. It would really suck if someone released the largest and most powerful graphics card ever halfway through the build...

"What a nightmare."

@AlexTheGreatish In the video you said everything needs to be out by Monday then proceeded to say getting it all done by Tuesday. I'm guessing you are referring to construction starting Tuesday and everything needs to be out by days end Monday?

[Skipple]

wait WE DON'T GET TO FIND OUT WHO THE CLIENT IS?!

Yep

The client is clearly a destiny fan (if they're not just bungie) - Pyramids are a 'the darkness' thing and there's warmind and osiris emblems visible.

 

edit: they're just super into conspiracy theories, im an idiot.

[Dredgy]

Well Gigabyte does make compactish 3090s...

This looks like an abomination, love it.

Which gauge aluminum or steel is this?

Looks like 1/2" tubing (maybe 3/4") and 1/16" sheeting. Chances are all will be steel, aluminum is a huge pain to deal with

@AlexTheGreatish So, was it the intention to have so many of those holes remain filled/blind, or is there a part 3 coming that will show them all cleared out?

 

All in all, this is an incredible build. Not gonna lie, wish you guys did more of these crazy one-off builds.

The only thing really missing would have been if you had painted it metallic brown - then you could have the all-seeing brown eye

 

Serious question though - how does one become a "client" for LMG??? I have a pretty spectacular idea for a dual system battle station desk that would make for a great build video for you guys. Who do I pitch my concept to?

Some of the chips are just stuck to the protective coating on the back.  They'll come right out when its time to paint.

Sooooo, what about just a case, nothing that would be as horrible as that... thing, i hope, smaller form factor, mATX or mITX, and not going to get too far into it until closer to the time id go for a new computer, something like a Ncase, but closer to the 20 litre limit that is SFF.

Not sure ur thinking on the right level here. When he says "enough money" ..its not the kinda money the average joe is going to be willing to fork out :P

 

The Client is likely a company or celebrity.

Sent you a PM - thanks!

 

BTW: It's a little more detailed than what I would be able to explain in just one post. A diagram would help but I digress
