Ok, so very soon I will be embarking on a build that I hope to have completed by PAX Prime this next year. I have get everything figured out, and so far the componnents are as follows:

Yes, the build is overkill, yes there is alot that doesn't make sense, I have wanted to do an over the top build like this for a long time, and i now have the job that will allow me to put the necessary money into this build. My problem is that I cant really decide on the case for the build. I really like the SMA8 from CaseLabs, but there are a couple issues. The main issue is how all of the fans and radiators will fit with the other parts, and I don't think ill be able to get the fans in the front or basement of the case to look the way i want for the showroom floor. So i'm looking for suggestions. Price isn't really a thing because I am willing to pay the money that it will take to get this system done right, and to make it look all that it can.

 

Recommendations and links would be helpful! thanks so much!

Collecting every single CPU in existence? Is it possible? I have no idea, but i'm sure gonna try! http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/341848-dont-throw-away-old-cpus-im-collecting/

You go overkill like crazy but no IPS Display´s?  :blink:

PS.: 1 Titan X is not enough for 3 1440p Diplays. Just saying.

You need more GPU's

 

2x 980ti minimum and do a parallel loop :D

 

 

Yeah, i know I will need more GPU's and the monitors I have picked are more for looks then anything, I will most likely go with an SLI Titan X config. I know the 980ti is better price point, but The Titan X is the best of the best, so i'm going with Titan X. So yeah, i will most likely go with an SLI config. I wont be gaming on triple monitors either, I will keep the gaming down to one monitor, and use the others as utility monitors, for stuff like internet browsing .

I think this qualifies:

 

I dont wanna go with this case tho.. I want to keep everything at least somewhat practical, and this case would get dusty way to fast for a showcase system.

I'm sorry this isn't any help but I think a build log of this would be sick

 

yes, there will be both video and written build logs as the system comes together

yeah, again, the monitors are more for looks, and as of right now i havent found anything that actually loooks better.. :/ I wont be gaming with a surround setup, i will only be gaming on one monitor, but yeah, an SLI config will probobly happen at some point.

 

do you have a recommendation for better monitors?

If you want buy now, the Acer xb270hu. Best Display on the Market atm.

If you want ultrawide, the Acer x34 is the best solution atm.

If you want wait some Month´s more you could take a look at the Asus pg279q.

I have looked around some more and I cant see any premade cases having a chance to be a true showcase.

You need a limited edition or a modded case for that.

 

I mean, what you stop to look at, another Caselabs case or something like this:

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

Now thats an idea... Hmm ill have to look into it more!

I would recommend the nzxt s340 my personal favorite or the nzxt h440 It should fit all of that.

 

Yeah, it wont quite have enough room for everything, but its definitly on the radar for sure

yeah, it does seem to be a bit on the small side for all the hardware I want, but I may do a build in the In-win s-frame instead for the show, then move it to somthing more practical for home use. maybie do a build in the s-frame then move it into somthing like a Corsair 900D for home.. i need ALOT of space
