Well here we are again for another year! Big thanks to Daz for putting the competition again! Huge thanks to the judges for lending your time to the competition as well as the admins and sponsors for your time and prizes!
OK SO! HERE WE GO!
This year I have decided to theme my build after Emperor Palpatine's Death Star Throneroom! Hence the title: Throneroom
Shortly after the competition ended last year I purchased myself a Shapeoko 3 Xxl so this year will feature many custom milled parts designed and milled entirely by me! (I also picked up a laser but I don't know If i'll have it installed in time to use it for this mod)
Components list is as follows!
Case: Thermaltake Tower 900: Snow Edition
Motherboard: Maximus XI Formula
CPU: Intel I9 9900k (Aiming for 5ghz all core after it's all ready)
Ram: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3200mhz (32gb-2x16gb)
GPU: nVidia Titan XP Collectors Edition Star wars x2 in SLI (one jedi card and one empire card)
PSU: Corsair Rm1000 1000w 80+ Gold rated
Cooling Components:
Reservoir: Heatkiller Tube 200 d5 mount x2
Pump: Laing d5 x2
Tubing: Bitspower 16mm brass hard tube, Nickel plated silver finish
Fittings: Darkside 16mm hardline, EK Torque 3-way, and assorted Darkside angled adapters
Cpu Block: Heatkiller IV pro Black Nickel lga1151 mounting
GPU Block: Heatkiller IV Black Nickel x2
Flow meter: Barrowch Flow meter oled display x2
Radiators: AlphaCool NexXxos xt45 480mm copper crossflow x2
Fans: Thermaltake Riing Triio 120mm RGB x12
Custom made bits!
The plan so far is coming together piece by piece!
I'm 100% custom making new side panels, which i'm keeping a secret til they're finished
Custom Power button
Custom Power LED
Customizing the top panel to include some harvested bits of the Titans
Custom Cables
Custom floor plate and backplate shrouding
Custom Case Feet
And custom housing for the reservoirs to match the Aesthetic!
And without further Adieu!!! Let me inaugurate the competition this year with the first Log and Photos
Starting off with the Obligatory "PC Chair Full of Components", and the chassis painting... Since i got a screaming deal on the case (it unfortunately wasn't the colour i wanted... but why would that stop any of us ) I picked up a Snow edition Thermaltake Tower 900 as the basis for my mod this year as "interior real estate" was what I was looking for!
Below we have the chassis in it's Native colour
And after priming
aaaaaaaand after giving it a touch of the Dark Side (pun 110% intended)
I may have been mildly light headed after this........
She's a big beast of a case so it took a LOT of paint to get it evenly coated.
More to come very very soon
