GT3 RS

[Montymole]

 

 

 

 

Hi folks whilst I had no plans for starting any other projects until Silver Ghost was finished I got an email from EK waterblocks in January asking me to pick all the stuff I would need to build inside their new limited edition Vulture Case, Obviously this was way to exciting to pass on and that was never ever a thought so I got to thinking about what would look nice in the case............

 

 

 

Just love the red and grey thing so we are going to try and get in the zone with the colors and with the Case being so dam sexy In my mind they are well matched. 

 

So this arrived last Friday:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Case Is Made from 3mm Aluminum held together with 8mm M4 CS bolts and is a fantastic bit of kit this is of no doubt long before you have started to build in it.

 

 

Inside next

 

 

 

 

 

And the much talked about curve

 

 

 

And next the Cooling or most of it as I am minus the 360mm Rad but that will be here very soon 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Massive thanks to MSI for supporting this project with some hardware

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Specs :

CPU: Intel 4690k

M/B: MSI Z97I GAMING ACK

GPU: MSI Titan Black

RAM:Yes it will defo have some of that

PSU: Corsair HX850i 

SSD: Samsung  840 EVO  250GB

 

Cooling by EK with all of their latest Blocks fittings rads and the new Vadar fans.

 

 

That is all for now the case panels have been acid dipped to remove the powder coating  and we be getting  re coated in a grey as to be honest the cost alone of the Paint to match the car was out of the question when I can powder coat it for so much less and will be much more durable for taking to a LAN so the next update will be when the RAD arrives and we can get to the loop this is a very simple and easy project. the case itself has been designed to make the loop easy for the beginner or lots of fun for the more experienced out there and will be as ever done with rigid tube this time its EK's own one rather than my usual E22 but I am told its very nice to work with Ill get to bending some this weekend bye for now

Hi again folks its took a few weeks to get back with the 1st update as I have been busy with building some PCs for friends and some Clients but got a lot of pics and a you can now see how the loop will fit inside. 

 

The 1st thing to be done was get the case powder coated grey and get the vinyls made so with the case being number 09 and the theme being based around the car I have used the 09 as part of a racing livery if you like.. I will be adding a few more not on this back panel just a few small ones here and there so here we are with some pics ..

 

 

 

 

The Titan Black  with block 

 

Just a quick tease if the paint color on the front Panel ..

 

 

Now Time for getting some stuff installed and plan the loop ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is Dexter my new helper and mascot thanks to MSI

 

 

The EK Vadar Fans installed 

 

 

 

So to control the fans I am using this power distribution from mod my toys and dust has been removed bane of my life is dust also installed the pump/ res combo with the EK bracket.

 

 

 

With this being a sports car we did not need any extra weight that was not making it run cooler so I removed the HDD cage and put an extra 120mm rad in there

 

 

 

but I will have to swap them black extenders out for black nickel as they will niggle me even If I cannot see them I will know they are there :sigh:

 

held in with some Parvum cubes until I fabricate a plate for it 

 

 

Made some new stickers for the Ram 

 

 

So before I get to cutting and bending the loop this is about where we are at for now 

 

 

I have decided to get some cables made by the master himself James from Pexon PCs as I have arthritis and the job takes so much time and pain it becomes impossible so I have to stick to fans and pumps and stuff that can be done in half hours for me  and I am also putting in a panel around the motherboard and this will be laser etched but more on that when its done as not a lot I can show you it will be black and red. 

 

That is where I leave you again while I get to work on the tube by for now folks

[Montymole]

EK mailed me in January  and asked me did I want the case and cooling  to go with it and I said yes and got planing the project  

[Eddprzz]

how did you get the ek vulture

he bought them they are out already for weeks now

[Norman_the_Owl]

he bought them they are out already for weeks now

No they're not? They only made 50 of them

[Montymole]

he bought them they are out already for weeks now

this is a limited edition case mine is number 09/50  as seen in this photo here 

[Montymole]

No they're not? They only made 50 of them

Yes this is correct Normal 

[Montymole]

Hi again folks i have been a bit unwell for the last few weeks and progress has been slow but we now have a decent update to show you so 1st off here is the laser cut panel for around the motherboard thanks to E22 for the laser magic  

 

 

 

quick shot of it with some light behind it 

 

had to make a little adjustment as it was a bit tight against the PSU

 

To make this light up some metal had to be removed from the case 

 

 

Fixed in some angled aluminum strips to hold the leds and allow the light to get where it needs to be

 

 

Made a bracket for the 120mm Rad at the back 

 

 

Next up the cables from Pexon PCs just pure perfection best in the UK for sure 

 

 

 

Perfect fit

 

 

 

I was snapped whilst working on the tubes after deciding to make some grey coolant but paint the tubes red to match the new front grill and as I wanted them to be a little different than just using pastel red as I did in this test run 

 

 

Anyway the tube went to the paint shed

 

It will need another coat and some clear coat but this is more what I wanted  

 

 

This is where we leave you again and I will return next week with more

[HatallaS]

Noooo I didn't want the build to stop here I wanted to keep clicking next page!

That is one of my favorite build.

Gt3rs been one of my favorite cars, it looks great.

Keep us updated.

[Montymole]

Hello people sorry about the long delay in the update just impossible to find the time to dedicate to forum's with the workload I have looking after my mum, the dogs and time for my daughter , whilst trying to earn a few quid from the client builds I am doing/done and the powder coating jobs etc. I have been working on this every week for a few hours and now we have some changes made and a complete PC so here is what has happened in pictures and some words but I think you will understand it ....

 

1st up I was not happy with the small details not matching on the motherboard , GPU and PSU ..

 

 

 

Took the block over to E22 and Nate etched this Porsche Badge into the Acetal 

 

 

The Sexy Pexon PC's Cables with the Corsair HX850i GT3 edition  

 

 

 

Next up is a pic of the rear of the PC which I painted in a dark grey and the same red I used for the Tubes etc .. 

 

Had major rethink on the layout as I was not happy so I decided against the second rad as it was not really needed this 360 is ample for the i5 and Titan Black in the loop as the EK Vardar fans are excellent quality.. 

The SSD was given some detailing to match ^^ 

 

 

Here are a few shots of the PC in the dark with the MSI logo backlit with red LED 

 

 

 

 

I decided to make some grey pastel coolant as with White, Emerald green and Red here in this pic I am happy with the match with the light grey in the braid .. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I popped her onto the desk last night and I think my table was made for this PC .. and as I have been using a test bench for the last few months it will be nice to have PC in case finished so after the next photo shoot I think I am using this rig for my gaming PC

 

[HellaflushMcSwaggins]

Really nice dude.

I saw a GT3 RS in white and red today while I was on the tram, but I only saw the left rear quarter panel and spoiler of it... Still awesome

[Necrodead]

Very cool, nice painting!
