    Hello Bit-Tech! My name is Ian and I hail from xtremesystems to post my new project following permafrost! I hope you guys enjoy seeing my work and I look forward to hearing your comments.

    Well guys the time has come for my big reveal of what I have been working towards for the past few months!

    I know some/most of you are familiar with my build, PermaFrost, which was awarded a spot on the Million Dollar PC. Well that build I accomplished two goals, one to be recognized by the aforementioned website and two to achieve a build that would allow me to seek sponsors and make a passion that drained my bank account into one that is sustainable and able to flourish.

    So first I will introduce my initial sponsors (list to grow, haven't even begun to seek my hardware sponsors,yet)

    [​IMG] [​IMG]


    Lamptron will be sponsoring a Custom made FC-3 controller and lighting for this build!
    [​IMG]


    Lian-Li has sponsored me with this Wonderful PC V-2110b case that I should be receiving in the next several days.
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Gilgamesh will be supplying me with one of the first PA 140.3 radiators off of the production line!

    I hope you guys are as excited as I am about this, I have some cool concepts that I will be implementing into this one and hopefully some partnerships with some of the other top modders to make it outstanding.

    cheers,

    -Ian H

    Do you fabricate stuff yourself?
    I can help but look at the height of that thing and think that the *entire* front would make for a VERY cool radiator.

    Hey sniipe, glad to see that you made the jump over here.

    At least you're guaranteed the forums will be up more than 50% of the time ;)

    Thanks for the compliments guys, sorry about the extremely slow progress :yawn:. I am at RPI (college) still right now which means I have limited to NO modding tools, no drill, no rivet gun and no nibbler so basically I'm screwed :D.

    I will be headed to the waterjet cutter sometime this week for sure and once that's done I will be able to take the front ALU pieces to the bending brake fo modification and then start disassembly and other chassis modifications before the parts go to powdercoat/auto painter (need to source one in mass, but I think I have a guy) :thumb::thumb:

    cheers,

    -Ian

    A awesome start, love the design.

    Your other mod wouldn't happen to be PermaFrost would it ;), an awesome mod. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

    First the motherboard and CPU:

    Back together with the AM3 mount plate :up: I left the accelerator plate out of the block to reduce restriction

    Also, for those actually reading the text, I have gained unlimited free access to a 12hp CNC router at my girlfriend's father's Factory that i am working at as a CAD designer this summer :up:

    That really is a very nice looking mobo, performs well also. That block is gonna look fantastic on the mobo, very nice.

    Congratz on the CNC usage, you are very lucky.

    Had some fun on the new photo set last night - set up a proper strobe system and a bigger light bank. Gave you guys some large Jpegs as well becuase these came out too nice to be size 1280x1024 :D

    Also - Meet my new "photo feature" more of a build helper really :D he will be featured in all of the build photos from here on out :up:
