This build took about two months to complete since my availability wasn't always.... available? I had a little hiccup with ordering the right parts, and rethinking the custom paneling on the outside of the case. Overall, it was a great learning experience. I've never done a build like this before, and I can say it was really fun. 

 

SPECS:

CASE: Corsair Carbide Air 540

Motherboard: ASUS X99-A ATX DDR4 LGA 2011-v3

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4 2666MHz 

GPU: 2 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 ACX 2.0

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

 

Most of the parts for the custom water cooling loop came from Bitspower. I was impressed with their quality reservoirs in my last build so I used them for my fittings as well this time. I did run into a snag when my impatience got the best of me and I tried to tighten a fitting with pliers to stop a leak and stripped some of the paint off. 

 

Enjoy!

Hmm, its decent, though I'm not a fan of the acrylic sheets you added, or the crazy bright lights on the bottom of the case

my original plan for the exterior paneling was much less plain, but unfortunately that didn't work out as I had planned. I opted for something simple in order to finish the build when I had intended to. What would you have done differently to the exterior? I'm curious to know your thoughts.

As a huge TES fan I approve of your builds name.  I do like the build too but I wouldve used a different cover for the fans

I also think the exterior was somewhat bland. I want to do something with the blue acrylic but I can't think of anything particularly great. Any ideas would be really helpful.
