My latest project is nearly complete. My girlfriend calls it "the cage".

Hello everyone! I would like to begin by stating that this is a work in progress and in no way complete. That being said, I feel like it is ready for some much needed peer review. So without further adieu, hear is the build.

The heart of the project is my trusty gaming rig containing an FX-8350 and an R9-290 reference with Kraken g10 watercooling bracket. Both are watercooled with 120mm AIO coolers. 8 gigs of Hyper x 1600 ram, Corsair TX750 PSU, and a Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 mobo round out the rest of the specs. The mediocre hardware is only the beginning though. Over the last two weeks I have been building a custom workstation in my spare time. The project began with a dream I had about 3 weeks ago, then about a week of research went into the design. Based loosely on the Emperor 200/submodels, It features overhanging monitor mounts lifted by an electric actuator, actuator controlled desk area, and a remote pc power button. I still have lots of cable management to take care of as well as some sleeving. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or sugguestions!

Thank you,

Torq47

P.s. Please excuse the mess.

Hole.Ee.Balls.

 

 

I'M DONE. I will have to live my life knowing I will never havea setup as badass as this.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
