Modded 780t 1950x Threadripper Deadpool Build

Hello everyone!

I've been following OC3D and TTL's reviews for some time but never thought I had anything to really contribute or a rig worth showing. Recently I decided it was time to upgrade to Threadripper to help out with 3D modeling and file manipulation tasks. I figured at this point I may as well redo most of my rig as my be quiet! Dark Base 900 had TERRIBLE airflow even with push/pull on two 360mm rads and all the dust covers removed. Eventually I've decided on taking a corsair 780t and chopping it up to fit what I imagine it to be. Luckily I've recently been able to acquire a vinyl cutter and a glass/acrylic etcher that I'll be able to use to make some custom shrouds and 5.25" bay non-horrible looking acrylic insert.

Specs:
1950x Threadripper w/ ek threadripper evo
Gigabyte Gaming 7 X399
32gb Dominator Plat 3200 Quad
2 x 1080 FE w/ ek blocks
RM1000i
950pro 512fb
850evo 1tb
D5 Vario (I trust my set and forget vario more than pwm)
Ek 360mm XE
Ek 360mm SE
Corsair 780t

I already have all the hardware, and I really need to have the build finished in the next 7-10 days as I still need to finish my wife's corsair 570x white edition Ryzen build (which I'll probably post here eventually).

I'll be updating the Imgur album with updates every 1-2 days and once finished, one of my good friends is a professional photographer and I'll get some good photos when compared to my phone.

Please let me know anything you guys think I can improve on as the build progresses :)

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

I wasn't able to make any progress today due to the power going out from a storm as I got home from work. Tomorrow I should be able to get a bit of acrylic work done and the fittings are going to be here in the morning!
 
Well the fittings came in from performance pc's today and I ended up going with some Monsoon chain gun 1/2" 5/8" fittings in black and white. Once I get back home I'll post some pictures.

Also ordered some "craft bullets" and a katana blade for some interior ideas I have ;-)
 
Was in the hospital but still got some painting done and sketched out the lines to cut in the acrylic, I'll post some pictures tomorrow when I'm home!
 
Sorry for the lack of pictures recently, just some crappy health issues that I've been battling. Today I was able to get the cables all managed that are going to be connected to the mobo and the new RAM came in today =D

On the last two pics you can kind of see my next project in the background ;-)

Should be getting a lot of the acrylic shapes and vinyl stencils/painting done over the next few days as I'm on PTO until next week friday (9/15).

The one question I have for everyone is if I should use some corsair HD120 fans that i have lying around with white to use in conjunction with a white LED strip or just stick to the ML120's? (the shroud covers the fans for the most part anyway)
 
Finally Running

2 surgeries and some fitting malfunctions later we are at a point of needing to touch up some of the shroud paint and get some new fittings. Had enough random barbs sitting around for a temporary solution.

Sorry for the lack of updates, been in and out of the hospital and getting backed up on client devices. Got a new toy to put on my desk and show off and I think it fits the Deadpool theme. Also, yes, it is 50 AE =)

One weird thing that is happening is that the new EK coolant is turning pink after a few week. I've flushed and refilled the loop twice and it still turns pink every single time, something the older fluids never did. Looking to get some Primochill Vue in red pending reviews on it clogging up.
