PaultanDesigns: Titanium S

[paultan]

Hello everyone! now it's time for me to share the worklog of my latest build. The Titanium S.

This is a collaboration work with my friend Ejay Bosquit where he is my first client. He really requested that I should build him a special modded rig and since he agreed that I will void every warranty of the parts that he will buy and I'm the one who will be deciding the entire look of the build, so I said "Yes! Let's build it."

I let Ejay choose which hardware he will buy and use for this build since he has the budget to do so and basically he is the financer of this build. And on the modding and design part, that would be my responsibility.

So let's start.

First, I wanted to create a new Flagship for my Titanium family. And this will be perfect. It has no theme like the Titanium, just pure freedom.

But this time it will be better. Better 90degree motherboard tray conversion, unique color theme, better layout and sexier look.

That's why I called it Titanium "S". Because for some reason it's Special, Sporty, Sexy and and it's about Speed.

Spec List:

Rampage IV Extreme (in Black)

Intel Core i7 3970X

Cooler Master Cosmos II

Corsair 16Gb 2400MHz DDR3

EK Waterblocks

2x Aqua Computer AirPlex 420 Radiators with Corsair AF140

4x GTX780 Reference with EKWB

EVGA Supernova 1500w PSU

Samsung 840 PRO 250GB in RAID0

Custom Copper Tubes (yes, that is copper tubing!)

Rotated motherboard mounting

Relocated PSU mounting

FTW sleeving

So let's start modding!!!

[paultan]

I started, by murdering the Cosmos 2 Chassis by removing the center panel and converting the mobo tray to 90deg.

[paultan]

now for the mounting of the front 420 RAD

at first this mounting was quite easy.

But the problem is, according to Aquacomputer we cannot mount the rad that way because it will cause big problems to the pump. So we decided to mount it the other way.

So I created a plate to hold the RAD.

[paultan]

After rotating the motherboard tray some modifications were needed.

We will be placing a 2nd 420 Rad on the rear part so I decided to relocate the PSU in the middle of the chassis.

Now I noticed that after removing the middle plate on the Cosmos 2 the chassis started getting weak. So I decided to do some reinforcements for the chassis.

then test fitting for the custom side panel using my Dark Knight PC

door handle.

[paultan]

now the tubes!!!!

bending tubes are so difficult. but when you get the techniques it will be a lot easier.

my attempts just to get the correct bend

more fail bends

[paultan]

custom plates for water block.

something is missing lol

look where I placed it.

paint job done

[ProGearUk]

[ANIMAL_ORIGIN]

I'm speechless..............

[Kayn]

You sir are magical.

[BenD]

love it, but the psu is kinda bad placed,  if any, that's kinda illagel :p no electrician is going to say: yes, you can put a power suplly right under water connectors :D but that thing does look awesome

[Gjeven]

Wow, a tremendous build.  Would be cool to incorporate a design with the copper tubing unpainted.

don't know if you know much about copper, but it changes colour (don't know the english word for it) but that can basicly ruin the look of your case, unless you want to re do your copper loops a few times , painting them is the most effecient way :D

Patina is the word... caused by oxidation... copper, bronze and other kinds of metal get that after time

 

Just think of the Statue of Liberty.. you know why its green ? its gets that color from the natural patina formed on its copper surface.

 

and for the Titanium S i just cant believe what my eyes are seeing! amazing piece of art! GG man ... GG!!

[Denoxx]

[KillerTom500]

[gatecrasherlok]

[azrealloki]
