It is best to upload to IMGUR and use IMG tags to post it here.

Ah never thought of imgur. Entry has been edited with a full build log on imgur.

See I did this when I was first posting my build concept and the preview is fine but as soon as I save the edit it will delete the post, I also had trouble posting my first build concept the other day as it said it needed to be approved.

HI.
I was lucky enough to win an in-win Mini D frame in a different contest and turned that into a build with my son. I was also in the process of building my 3rd custom water cooled build for myself. I would like to have an opportunity to join this contest and build a media center themed PC build for my living room needs.
I have to spare 6970s on XSPC water blocks and would utilize the AIO cooler for a clean build with a mostly hidden loop. I just not heard about the contest so I don't yet have and drawings but I will get some together and hopefully have them up in time.
Here is the link to my recent "father and son" build log. Mind you I really need to get a better camera which is in the works to take better build log picks.

Thanks for the consideration, will hopefully have some drawings up soon.

New members must wait for their post to be approved if it contains images, we will get to it you just have to be patient
Posting multiple times just slows it down tbh!

Thanks for the info
Sorry for the multiple posts the deadline was for the 27th sep I was a bit worried I would miss the competition.

quick question do you have to use the cooler and fans?

Hey Tom! Thanks! I understand. I've been subscribed to the YouTube channel for a while and usually hop on the site/forums when I see you tweet out articles. I joined last year I believe just hadn't been active.
I've really been getting into higher end custom builds lately so this competition got me to finally post something! If you'd like an idea of what my build log would be like I have a lot of images up on imgur:

I am not entering, as a mod I am excluded from doing so and I don't currently have the hardware or funds to fill this case up, but I wanted to share my idea anyway.
I thought with such an huge window you might as well put all the hardware on display. And with so much empty space in the front that seems to remain unused without a full watercooling loop, I figured I might as well use that space to mount the radiator a bit unconventionally to show it off and make it all look a bit more industrial.
To add to that, I've added a window in the front panel the aligns with the one on the side and if not using the top ventilation, maybe you could make that a window as well so you can have a really good look at all the hardware from multiple angles.
Lastly there is a PSU shroud (cause as pretty as most hardware is, no one wants to see cables or mech drives) with an SSD mount on the top. The radiator itself serves as sort of a shroud to hide its own excess tubing.
I love black/white/green colour schemes. My current build is mainly black and white with subtle green accents and I'd use some of the parts and ideas from that in this build, like the RAM:
The modded SSD (but with the a horizontal layout):
The CPU pump/block bracket in white:
And the GPU, although I'd have to add some green accents on that!
Would probably get some nicely painted cables in as well
Specs I'd go for would be:
- Fractal Define S
- Kelvin S24
- Fractal HP-12s
- Intel Xeon 1230 V3
- Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87/Z97
- 2x8 GB Vengeance Pro 1866MHz
- EVGA GTX 760 2GB custom painted
- Crucial MX100 256 GB
- 2x WD Caviar Blue 1TB (One for OS X)
- Corsair RM650 with custom cables
The way I'd implement the PSU shroud and brackets for the S24 and the SSD would be by using a reasonably thin metal that lends itself to bending well but still holds it rigidity, for the radiator I could probably get away with something thicker as these are mostly straight runs.

Congrats Kilbane and Wraith! Keen to see the builds.
Yeah nice idea for the dead space in the front of the case. I have this shortlisted for my next case but unless I go full loop, I agree it looks a bit empty. It's such a large window it would be nice to see it really utilized well
