[Project Log] REINFORCED - TUF - Z170 Sabertooth - 980Ti SLI

50mm

"Too Bad we're going to change the red rog/strix to TUF"

"Too Bad"

"TUF"

"Too Bad...TUF"

Yeah like that's a bad thing. The orange looks even better than the orange. I don't know how well it will fit with that SLI bridge but it looks amazing by itself, at least. The brushed aluminum on the SLI bridge will go great with the TUF look, though.

The case matches the MB perfectly. Great job!

Thanks!

Well, the Strix are awesome looking cards, but i'll make sure they're going to look even more awesome  :) The SLI bridge will also be modded, not sure how to yet but i'll try to replace the ROG with the TUF Logo

The GPU Cables look wrong to me, is there no way to let them go Straight down? :P

Update

A Happy New Year everyone and sorry for the lack of posts lately but i'm back with some new pics for you :)
I'm currently working very hard on the project and don't find much time to take pictures since i want to finish it by wednesday.

The acrylic parts on the inside of the case are almost finished and will be painted tomorrow. BTW everything is cut by hand, no CNC mill/laser!

A big thanks to ASUS for supporting and showcasing this project, it is a honor to create a build for such a company! I also want to thank my other sponsors, CoolForce for their great fittings, tubes, rigid UV LED strips and the unique mixed UV dye, BitFenix Deutschland for the orange Fans and LED strips and my friend Matthias aka ModdingStylez for the decals, tools and for supporting me since i started casemodding! And Thanks to nubcustoms.com for creating these awesome GPU backplats!

Stay tuned for more pics ;)

Man I love your builds because you mod every detail, not like other modders that just match a little bit. You do the complete package. Awesome I love it.

Dope build, I'm in love with the color scheme that you've used and how clean this is.

A+

Can we get a higher resolution of that custom front panel? Looks so much cooler than the original case.

 

And if possible some of the tubing runs above the roof of the case?

 

Love the colour scheme and generally how you pulled off this amazing build.

I saw the Asus post on twitter, very nice, very nice, they should have linked this build log in there too, to see what happened behind the scenes :D?

I just saw the twitter post, but they linked the buildlog in their facebook post, that should be enough ^_^

Excellent work with the scroll saw, we need more manual mods around here and less CNC! Great job showing everyone how it can be done right by hand.

Awesome build, probably one of my favourites ever, as I am a big fan of the clear orange coolant.
