The HDD looks out of place but the rest of the build looks so awesome. Really nice job!:dribble:
How did you do the midplate?

 

[maniac]

as awesome as it looks, my ocd can't seem to settle down. one of the pipes going down from the gpu is slightly bent outwards and I just hate the size of the gpu but thats just personal preference. other than that I'd say it's stunning, proper good job mate

Thanks, the hdd is down there just to be out of the way so you can't see it and the midplate is made by laser etching acrylic, painting it and sanding it carefully.

I really like how these pipes look as if their shapes were simplified. Obviously those aren't simple hoses that can bend but maybe it's because of the colour of the pipes? Just something that came into my mind at a first glance.

Also, in the second picture, the power cable for the GPU going around the pipe looks like a solar prominence

Yeah the pipes have been simplified a lot, this done just by tons of planning. the pipes have a max of 1 bend in them so i didn't have to work out any angles etc. thanks for your comment

thaks for your comment, i did the sleeving myself. the sleeving is white, grey and aquamarine blue for mdpc.

Love it!! Very smart job on the piping too, avoiding crazy bends. I'm guessing that proper planning you did made your life a LOT easier in the end. You're making me second guess my Raystorm now though, since my ports are side by side. Sure hope I didn't miss something in the manual on that one!
