Scratch Build – In Progress Project ExtremeX-Platinium

even the wallpaper lol

 

sorry for the mess of wires, there won't be any visible in the end

 

the first daughter card is an Asrock PCI 1x sata 6gb, and then it's an USB 3.0 PCI 1x card, my idea is to gather the 2 in 1 big card, to hide the Sata wires and hardware, and include a blue blower inside.
I have start some work on it too, but not finished yet.

 

I have also modded the SSD, including a mini blue neon from an old gauge inside the SSD, and connecting it to the HDD led activity of the motherboard, its showing activity on the top of ssd, I'll show you pics soon. Forgive me again for the poor quality of my pics, I swear that my extreme-x project will be shoot with a nice camera...but bills are big those times ... lol

 

some little progress

I'm still making plans and plans of my project, I realise it's hard to have an idea of where i will put all the stuff that i don't have yet, like the tubing managment or where gonna be the pumps, reservoirs etc, but I'v decided to start by making the skeleton of the case, in a way to see what's to change and how...


I try to use as much as possible, pieces of alu that i collect in métal garbage but some parts will be make again in nice aluminium after I will be sure of what i want.

 

the 2 velociraptors are to show where I would like to put the 2 SSD

 

An unexpected update
today the postman came with a small parcel, it was the I7 processor
The box is small because it's sold without the inevitable ugly low perf Intel fan...only the UC, but there was a super promo... only half priceof it...I'm so happy
