That is one snazzy looking build. I'm so jealous right now, it's almost un-believable. 

Great work on the tubing as well, that acrylic tubing looks so much more cleaner.

Thanks man! Took me a while to sort the acrylic tubing out! The monsoon bending kit was a huge help!

That green coolant is amazing  :o

Thanks, I am a big fan of EK's green coolant! Always looks cool. It is also UV so when I have the lights on it lights things up nicely!

 

fantastic

Thank you!

 

I am green with envy  :P

Thank you! Mounting the res like that was scary as I had to cut a few little holes in the back of the case and then had to drill some inch wide holes in the motherboard tray (Very scary).

Bleeding was fine, because of the two radiators and their positioning, it ment that I could open to top caps on them and fill them with liquid to bleed the air faster. The only issue I had was the blanked port on graphics card was blocking air and I had to tip the case and open up the blanking port to get the rest of the air out...

Beautiful build

Thanks! A lot of hardwork went into this!

 

 

Gorgeous. Can't wait to get this case. 

It is a brilliant case! The build quality is amazing! Blows the 900D completely out the water! Everything feels premium with this case!

Yeh, a case of taking the motherboard out and RMA'ing it or putting a NIC card in... I went for the easy option haha

Here are my overclocks and benchmarking of the computer! I am trying to sort an issue with my graphics cards however, as I am now getting 10fps average lower than last time. I am not sure why either. My temps are lower and the overclock is the same...

Thanks man! I only realized how cramped it would be after I got the radiators :D

Cheers man! 

 

i love that green sleeving, what type is it?

It is custom sleeving from Shak Mods. I think they use MDPC sleeving!

Cheers man! Very happy to be shown on the show!

 

Just as a point, the system was powered on for those final pictures and the flow rate is set to 2 on both the pumps! The bubbles don't get sucked in because of the inlet being higher than the outlet!

Hi.  I was completely blown away when I saw your build.  I was excited when my wife said I could pull the trigger on a caselabs.  Then the trouble started.  m8, s8, s8s?  I started configuring different builds in my head and almost drove myself (and everyone around me) nuts.  Then I saw this and my jaw hit the floor.  I would like, with your permission, to build a very similar setup with minor changes.  I am not entering any contest, or doing this for money. I am asking out of respect and if anyone was to inquire about my case, of course you get the credit for the layout.  Plus I have a couple small questions about your setup if that's ok with you.   Just stunning, love the black, nickel, and green.

Hey, I am glad that you liked the build so much!

It is the Caselabs Mercury S8. Sure you can copy what I have done, the design isnt mine to lend out to people  :lol: You dont need to credit me to anything, just credit it to caselabs as they have done all the hard work creating an awesome case!

Fire away any questions you have :D

Side note: There are some big changes coming to Envy. These changes will potentially make this Envy MK III. Tell you more about it nearer to the time!
