I can't wait!! Looks great. By the way do you do your own vinyl work? I would really like to have some done if you could suggest a source. If you do your own what equipment so you use and do you have more information on it?

Cheers man! Yea, I do all my own vinyl work. I'm using a Silhouette Cameo 2 vinyl plotter, very easy to use and it works great. If you're just wanting to cut something quick then there should be a lot of places that do it around shopping centres. Usually in places where they print on t-shirts and stuff like that. For a once off buying a vinyl cutter would not be worth it

I think I mentioned it quite a few times throughout the build log and in the videos. This build is for an NVIDIA event, their Pascal Launch Party in Australia plus it will be going to 4 more events on top of that therefore it is a show build. When you do a show build fully sponsored, branding is a must to show appreciation and in the end it is used for advertising at said events. I do a lot of other builds for the same purposes

 

The NVIDIA Pascal launch party was actually this past Thursday in Melbourne, Australia where they announced the GTX 1060. They build was on display there and it did very well. I'll have final pics of the completed build once it gets back next week

Hi guys,

 

Sorry for not updating the build log for a few days, I've been away on a little trip and then got busy with work

 

As some of you may be aware, the NVIDIA Pascal Launch Party took place in Melbourne this past Thursday July 7th where they showcased a whole lot of GTX 1080s and 1070 from different vendors as well as HTC Vive demos of the awesome NVIDIA VR Funhouse and of course the worlds first exclusive look at the new GTX 1060.

 

I was very fortunate to have been flown to this event and get to experience it all and no doubt the PROJECT ALPHA OMEGA build was there too! I worked hard on getting it ready in time for the event and unfortunately didn't have time to film any more videos or photos as I was building into it.

 

The build did very well and got quite a lot of attention which was a good way to showcase the GTX 1080 graphics cards inside it. The open frame design of the case helped showcase the hardware even more.

 

Here are some teaser photos of the build at the event as well as some other photos throughout the NVIDIA Party. Sorry for the poor quality, they were all taken on my phone

 

 

I'll also leave you with some hardware pr0n photos

 

 

Thanks for checking it out guys! Stay tuned for final pics, more videos of the completed build and after, more watercooling

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

Hi guys,

 

I have some good and bad news unfortunately. The good news is, the build has just come back this morning from Melbourne and the bad news is that it is slightly damaged. It seems like the bottom of the box took at little hit.

 

There's a bit of a dent at the bottom however it can easily be put back with some hand force. I'm guessing from the shock as well that the acrylic on the front panel was shaken a bit and it ended up going into the fans scratching the green painted rings.

 

I'll be spending a couple of days this week on it before I bring you the final photos

 

However, for now I'll leave you with this quick video I took of the Bitspower waterblocks for the ASUS ROG GTX 1080 Strix graphics cards that I have in this build atm which will eventually go on the two cards

 

 

 

A few things I forgot to mention in the video.  The waterblock comes with no backplate as it is fully compatible with the original backplate on the card meaning you can still use the RGB features on the original backplate. That combined with the RGB feature in the waterblock and should be a pretty nice looking set up

 

Also, I'm thinking with an extender as well as a splitter cable between two waterblocks, it should be able to be connected to an RGB controller on the new ASUS motherboards for more easy control.

 

Hope you guys enjoy this small update.

 

Stay tuned for more.

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

You don't get to see an open case on the forums everyday, and I don't think I've ever seen one as nice as this.

Do you mind me asking what fluid you're using??

Keep up the awesome work!

Hi guys,

 

The build plus a few of my others were on display at an NVIDIA NFAN event yesterday hosted at the flagship Microsoft Store in Sydney!

 

Will have photos and a video from the event soon however here's some quick snaps of how I transported the builds there hehe

 

 

Some of you may not have seen the gold one before. I will have a build log for this one up soon, it will be a post build log as the build has been finished for a few months now. I just didn't have time to do a build log at the time due to being in the process of moving to another city and adjusting

 

Anyways, stay tuned for more on Project Alpha Omega!

 

Cheers,
