Hey guys, its been a while...well today I want to give you an update after all this time. I am currently in the progress of finishing the build and I am almost done. Only custom 12V 2x6 cable is TBD and I am waiting for the last Caseking delivery of coolant. I want to highlight the reason for the expansive build time for this project. I just kept getting new ideas and added features I needed new skills and tools to fulfill. In the end this build included a lot of 3D printing ASA, airbrushing, more electroplating, and I even learnt how to CNC machine Acrylic on my 3D printer. All in all this kept adding up to the time line but now I have finally reached the end of this journey. I will give you guys a more detailed view, once I have access to my PC again, if you would be still interested but for now I will give you this GPU teaser sent from my smartphone. 4090 Master with EK block. Completely gold plated / painted white. I am very proud of the cnc machined inserts made of acrylic mirror. Hope you like it aswell
Good to see you back. The gold plates rate you an extra skill point since mirrored acrylic is almost always extruded. It's very hard to NOT melt it.
Now the build is completely finished! Here is a list of some of the custom stuff I made for this PC: ASA 3D Prints + painted white: -10x LED Rings for eLoop fans -Vertical GPU bracket as replacement for stock IO shield and mounting brackets to case -Mounting for reservoir to 120mm fans (stock one did not look as nice, and was the wrong hight) -various covers, spacers and brackets here and there CNC machiened acrylic parts (Dremel mounted to my 3D printer): -all the covers at the back of the case -housing for System Panel Display and mounting point for GPU -gold mirror inserts for GPU block Gold plating: -GPU Block -CPU Block -RAM Blocks -End caps of top and bottom Rads Other stuff -all black parts of GPU block, res, eLoop body, all 3D printed parts painted white with airbrush -all custom cables using supplies from MDCP-X (custom 12VHPWR cable as well) Hardware list: -Gigabyte 4090 Master -Gigabyte X870E Pro Ice -7600x (maybe upgrade to 9800x3d in summer when prices come down, can't afford to spend that kind of money now) -blocks all EK, CPU EK Supremacy Evo, RAM Monarch X4, Vector 2 GPU block -Watercool Heatkiller Tube D5 -Secondary pump res DCP450 in the back -Alphacool 16mm Acrylic Tube -mostly barrow fittings, some formulamod, alphacool, aquacomputer, XSPC... -fans 10x eLoop 120 -2x Watercoolrad 360s, 1x alphacool XT45 -Status panel display 6.2 inch bare LCD with HDMI controller from aliexpress (custom backlight voltage regulator, stock was very dimm)
Opulent! It's a very pleasing overall build. Even the cable sleeve works well. Usually, there's some random wire or something that could be done better, but you've taken great care with everything.
