[COMPLETED][Build Log] Aperture Engine | White CaseLabs STH10 - i7 3930K - Dual GTX 690

[L.E.D]

Thanks for the support !

 

Also, Update !

 

 

 

 

Still need to do the front, and re-sand the back side with 600 paper to eliminate imperfections.

 

Also, good and/or bad news. I'm sick, which mean I'm at home for the rest of the week, so expect a lot of update :)

 

 

Great idea man ! Love it !

[Sgt]

Just go out into your garden and get some there.. :P hehe

 

lol, if it was that easy :(

 

For powering the helicopter feature of your build right?

 

Haha, could be !

 

Who needs tubing when you have yolo/swag/gansta-style?

 

WTF man ! O.O

 

 

From personal experience I can tell you that the large Caselabs builds have

a tendency to become rather heavy once everything is inside. So the helicopter

feature comes in very handy for moving the machine around. :D

Although personally I have decided to make my entire case completely waterproof-

able, and when I need to move it around I just lock down the hatches, flood the

apartment and float the PC to its new location. :lol:

 

I was really surprised when I've mounted everything on the removable motherboard tray, added my 2 690 on it etc. Ofc everything with a waterblock. When I tried to take it up, I was : The hell is this.

 

I had to do it in 2 times, just freakin' heavy.

 

Or maybe as it is a Caselabs case you will have enough room to in stall the motor from a remote control car and driver from room to room in your home, this way you will save on the water damage and use that on your next build.  :lol: Seriously though i would like to see the complete build.

 

I laughed way to hard at this \o/

 

Great idea man ! Love it !

 

Thanks man ! Appreciate that :)

Sorry man, I feel really bad about it, but I couldn't resist. :D

W/C gear and HDD's really add up very fast. I saw that with my old build, which had

10 HDDs, 8 of which were in Aquadrives. Holy crap that thing was heavy. :o

[Sgt]

W/C gear are heavy, specially large block like GPU ones.

The whole motherboard tray is a piece of art tho. *Throw flowers on himself*.

 

Back to serious stuff. I've added some Carbon Fiber stuff on some pieces of the case. I'll post some pictures this week end. 

 

Oh and, EK shipped my order. With some luck, I'll get my tubing tomorrow.

[Sgt]

Updates are coming soon ! Tubing, Filling, Testing inc !

I want to hate you for troll, but this is good troll. Well played sir!

[Axis]

<_<

[Sgt]

I've done a lot of cables managements, you can expect some pictures tomorrow.

At least it will be way more easy to route my tubing tomorrow.

Cya tomorrow :)

[alpenwasser]

you can expect some pictures tomorrow.

You say that now, but your track record is dubious in recent times... :lol:

[Sgt]

Here is some pictures of what I've done yesterday. Kinda messy, but it's like the best I can do while keeping in mind I'll have tons of tubing going everywhere.

 

 

Before

 

After an hour

 

 

I still have the 2 CPU 8Pin to route, but right now, I have no idea where I'll route them.

[Sgt]

Toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

[Purple]

Caselabs' cases are so hot

[Sgt]

And its done !

 

BUT, there is more coming at the end of july :

- The Custom Surround Monitor Stand !

- Sexy shots of the build with my Canon Rebel T3i

 

Here is some pictures for you all :) Hope you enjoy them, and again, thank you for the support. (They were taken from my phone, I'm still waiting my T3i)

 

 

 

 

 

 

A better "overall" shot will be posted tonight. Be sure to check it !

So clean!!!

[notenoughtv]

There's way too much empty space. I didn't realize the case was so massive. 

I thought you were going to use orange and blue tubing

[GreetsFromGermany]

Yeah I think there's a bit too much empty space too. You should have gone with the XL window :P
The fittings color don't match that good with that excellent sleeving , like notenoughtv said maybe blue/orange tubing? :)
But its still an great build , clean and I just love white cases :P

[Sgt]

Thank you sir :)

To use all the space of this case, I would have to use my SR-X in it. And for gaming, 2P motherboard are... not really the best options.

I wanted a lot of room to work with, to do everything like I want.

Oh and, Colored tubing sucks :)

XL window was too small, and I wanted to be able to see my reservoir, so I picked the XXL :)

It give 2 teints of Orange, I like it. fittings orange looks more like rust color, or copper, its a part of the Portal games :)

And, colored tubing sucks :) I wanted something clear.

 

I had to do some heavy bendings with my tubing, and a random colored tubes from.. I don't know, Masterkleer, would have bend like mad where the PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT is just a king. And last but not least, Blue tubing is easy to find, Orange.. kinda hard :)

 

Edit : In reality, you don't really see the difference between the two oranges ^^

 

Thanks :)

[Axis]

I like it

It looks clean but at the same time it looks like a spiderweb with all the tubing going in diferent directions and i really dig it :D

PS: you could always put another system in there if it looks so empty ^^

Thanks ! :)

lol yeah, there is plenty of room to add another small system

[BaconMan]

I think it's awesome! The blue and orange fittings are really clever, going from one portal too another, very cool

[alpenwasser]

I like it. As said, the fittings are a pretty nice touch, and I like the clean cable

routing. If it was mine I would probably go for a slightly different water loop routing,

but I still really like this one. Loving the color coordination overall, especially

on those cables, they really are bloody gorgeous! :wub:

Surprisingly I'm not really bothered by all that empty space because of all the neatness.

Plus it's nice to have space for future expansions. Maybe add a mITX system somewhere? :D

Quick question though: What did make you go with the STH10 instead of one of the smaller

cases? Rad space?
