I haven't been on for a few days and the thing has changed like night to day! It looks amazing! This is definitely something to be proud of m8.

Started to work on the hidden lightning system. Installed the acrylic w/nzxt led controls

I am gobsmacked

. It looks amazing. Have you posted your log on other forums? because you should. You could run for mod of the year on Bit-tech or mod of the month or whatever it's called on Guru3D.

Indeed. I suggest you to do that, if you haven't done it yet! This really deserves a prize. However I think you are just humble person and doing this for own curiosity and fun. But, work is astonishing!

Holy cow this build is unbelievable.

Absolutely outstanding work here mate, down to a T. Definitely put this in a competition, because once you've slapped in the WC it'll look even more epic! Milliondollarpc anyone?

Thanks for sharing this with us Az.

beautifully done and a joy to read!

I agree. From what I see so far... it could compete with this MOTM!

amazing!

Thanks for the great feedback and input. I might post it at guru3d, bit-tech and techpowerup when it is done and if i got the time.

Today i will paint it completely done on the the inside. Its just a few minor details left. I will also go to a glass-master and order the hardened/reinforced glassplate. Think im gonna choose 6mm thick glass.

Heres a quick list of what remains to do:

- hidden lightning. 8 meters of NZXT led cable in white and blue.

- Change all the cable housing on all the fans, so they are all black housing.

- Sleeve one more pump.

- Make my own 3mm & 5mm leds in white, blue, orange, yellow. These will light up the Raystorm, both of resorvoirs and backside I/O shield/gpu's,

- paint 10 more SilenX fans

- Install the hdd racks and MB tray.

- Vibration dampening for both resorvoirs. Install the pumps in them.

- Drill holes for cable anchors. these will be used for the fan cables and also the wc tubing. Got these nicely painted black.

- Sand down my shelf for the monitor and paint it white. Will also make one more shelf for my router and 3 TB WD mybook.

- Paint housing white underneath

- Cable managment underneath.

- Install both Bitspower X-stations.

- install all the hardware and get the watercooling ready.

So theres a litle bit left to do, but mostly it is just fun parts left and not that time consuming. I read that Intel will launch the IB cpu's 23 of April so im hoping to have it done by the start of Mai.

Edit: I had some primer left so I have painted the inside of the cabinets and underneath the housing. Feals good to be totally done with the wood painting

Edit: I have ordered the hardened glassplate. Estimated delivery time is 2 weeks, so thats great. When i was at the store i found a very good rubber gasket. Im gonna redo the top gasket and replace it with this new one. This new one is also great to have underneath both of the resorvoirs

Its almost 2cm in width and about 6mm high and i bought 8 meters of it.

 

[Azurite]

The new rubber gasket applied. Looks great i think.

 

[Solidarity]

I agree the rubber gasket looks great.

 

[drunkenvalley]

Dammit, I damn well nearly want to hunt down your house just to have a look at this in RL. Amazing piece of work.

I had some white window gaskets aswell but the ones im using now is perfect for this purpose.

Thanks, its appreciated. That sounds a bit scary.... hunted down. Well, if you lived nearby you could always come and have a cooffee and take a look at it

I am almost done fixing 8 meters of led cable. Will see later tonight if i get some time to hook up a psu to it.

Tomorrow i get more exiting stuff delivered, so i will update with that aswell.

 

[yassarikhan786]

The rubber gasket indeed looks awesome my friend

I think I need new pants... because I just shit myself.

That thing is looking amazing!

Hope you didnt

, but mutch appreciated that you liked it.

Iv spent many hours with the lightning, and now i am satisfied. From above there are no visible lights and from the sides there is no led shining directly at you. I had to take down everything after first time i mounted them, because of there was to many leds shining directly out towards me.

I took a shitload of pictures mainly because i was experimenting with the ISO adjustments.

Hope you like it. The photos are with lightadjustments at minimum and maximum so you see the difference quickly. Getting a tripod soon so the photos will be alot clearer after that.

 

[Cyanide89]

WOW. That is all I can say.

Those are white LED's right? Not blue?

 

[Azurite]

Picture # 2-3-4 are with white leds. Rest is blue and most of them are at max

 

[Sheza]

Holy cow, this is amazing. How much would you charge to make one for me lol!
