    Hello,
    I’m AK MODs from Taiwan. This is my first time send a message, I am excited to show my work and hopefully learn a lot along the way.

    My project is called Praetor. I will enter with the C700P. The 4 bar handles will be polishing finished and the chassis will have a rough black finish. I will add a bit of aluminum accent inside. It will have glass on both sides with mirror finish. I will try to keep it simple with a clean liquid cooling setup.

    Hardware:
    Asus Maximus X Formula
    Cooler Master V750
    Cooler Master MasterFan Pro 120
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Founders Edition
    Zadak Shield 8GX4 DDR4
    Zadak Shield 240 SSD
    Cablemod Custom Cable

    Water cooling:
    Bitspower Nvidia GTX 1080 Special Edition
    Bitspower Fitting Bitspower Radiator 360
    Bitspower Brass Hard Tubing
    Cooler Master MasterLiquid Maker 240

    Custom Water-Blocks
    Custom Nickle plated copper tubes
    Custom Spray paint
    Custom Internal structure
    Custom lighting
    Custom Cable

    I want to thanks so much to all of my sponsors which I have a pleasure to work with!

    Sanding with waterproof abrasive paper is the pre-preparation of spray painting.

    The better the texture of product is, the harder the processing has been haha...

    Enjoy.
