That is drop dead gorgeous! Love the leather and engravings! Job well done!  

Thank you Temples for checking out my project :) Jens did all of the engravings which gives it an outstanding personal touch!

 

Looks sweet man. Can tell alot of hardwork and effort was put into this build.

Haha, yeah! Alot of time as well :P

 

This is gorgeous. Next level modding at its finest. Hope to see more from you.

Thanks mate. I am always trying to raise the bar.

 

Very nice and clean, but for some reason it's not satisfying... I think it's that it's not water cooled? Yea, that's what it is. I love the way it's very very clean and gorgeous.

:) Hehe. I would have prefered to watercool it, but Jens wanted a near maintenance free PC. A closed loop was the perfect solution for him.

 

damn, that looks sweet ass awesome, s(l)ick and neat and whatever.

 

but c-c-can i ask you to send me a copy of the cable+tubing management? that looks the best i ever saw, would love to see some details on it.

Thanks! Sure thing man. Each hole is plotted 7mm from each other, and each hole is 4.5mm wide. Best to use a pillar drill to assure accuracy! 

 

looks just ballin, altough I would just love to see some white led's in there  

Cheers man :) LEDs might appear one day, then I will get some shots ;)

 

How are the temps with all that material in the case?

Idle: CPU 26c GPU 30c

Load: CPU 55c GPU 65c

Thermals don't seem to be affected by the material. There is an extra large opening up to and an exhaust fan, so all air exits the chassis.

 

Your build = the best kind of builds

 

So beautiful, but still not as good as the last one 

That you sir! Can't always make them better in the eyes of everyone, but I can always try something new and unique :)

 

My god, that is some top tier craftsmanship.

 

congratulations on a fantastic build!

Thank you Nup! It has taken some time to get the details right, but it has been worth it.

 

Cables and false motherboard tray are amazing, To be honest i'm more impressed with the PSU side than the motherboard/component side.

 

I think were this one just falls short (for me, totally my opinion) if you're after this feedback is where the CPU block has been painted and its all white, it looks a bit bland, same with the white on the dominators and the MA plate on the PSU side. If those could be coloured to be broken up it would really enhance this.

 

In saying that you have texture wrapped this PC in a way rarely done before and it is absolutely amazing. You always have innovative idea's and lets face it...

 

...bring on the S-Frame, because that render has destroyed my mind...

Thank D33g33. I had thought of using another colour to offset the texts on those various parts/places, but I didn't want it to look "too much". It was also supposed to be subtle so if you didn't see it the first time, you might see it later and think "Ahh nice!".

 

The S-Frame project is delayed until I can get someone to finance the project. The last person had some troubles and couldn't go through with it.

 

Not sure if i've ever been so jelly on a computer build *-*

I'm almost certain now, that my next case will be an Air 240 too. But instead i'll go for Watercooling.

I might recommend other cases before this if you plan on water cooling. The options are pretty slim if you are wanting to use mATX :( But thanks for checking out the project.

 

Wow really interesting. Never seen anything like it.

Thanks Spwath as always! As I had mentioned, the S-Frame build is on hold until I can find someone to fill it with parts.

Cheers man :) I am all about the details!

And thank you Sheen! I hope to get a new project started soon!

Wauw.. Everything is fitting together here!  The leather, the white and the sleeving! First time I see leather in a case, it gave me some great ideas! Thanks.

Keep up the good work! A cool and awesome build.

"not a modder"

"wannabe modder"

"OEM systems FTW"

it should be under your settings somewhere for you to change.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

@MetallicAcid For the Gryphon armor was it easy to paint? Also what paint and how coats did you use?

It was extremely easy to paint @SYPH. There are some screws to loosen, then it just lifts off from the motherboard. I used plastidip, and gave the armour 4 very thin coats, with around 30mins drying between each coat, then let it dry for 48 hours before attaching it.

 

Hope this helps.
