Right Side Panel w/ Window

Here's a view of the Right Side of the chassis with the side panel on for all to see. The plants and sign were a last minute touch that many people seemed to enjoy.

Internal View w/o Side Panel

Here's a look inside at the Z77 Extreme 4 Motherboard, i7 3770k CPU and the 2x GTX 780ti Graphics Cards with the respective liquid cooling equipment in place.

Internal View 2

There's a total of 900mm of radiator space in this computer.

Window Closeup 1

Here you can see a modified Wheatley key chain that I installed a blue LED into and hung in the corner of the case.

Window Closeup 2

Top View

A look at the quad MNPCtech Fan grill on the top of the case.

Front View

The front of the case with MNPCtech fan grills adhered to the chassis.

Left Side Panel w/ Custom Paint

I can still fingerpaint.

It's upside down from what I'm used to :O Is the case itself custom, or what was used as a base?

I've never seen a case with that arrangement. Mobo flipped and window on the right???

the case is LD PC-V8 Reverse ATX/HPTX White XL Window

I think they literally used the case upside down.

I dont think so, the front bezel with the cddrive trays is always on top

The beauty of this makes me want to build a new PC, but money.

Ok, building your own PC... You're doing it right. This made me so jealous. I thought my rig was cool.

Your pc must be old since plants grows in it. I pretty sure that is not supposed to be there.

Requests specs and why your mobo is upside down. I know it doesn't have to be the other way. Why choose to have the cpu towards the bottom?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Specs and parts list can be found here: https://youtu.be/ksh5DIsM-3g

I'm also curious about that. I have seen mobos facing upwards so the heavier new GPUs hang vertically, and I 100% get why that's a thing.

Thinking of doing a similar build.. where did you get all of the portal props (for lack of a better word) are they custom or?

dual 8 pin connectors to SLI cards. guessing 780s. corsair low profile ram? that's all I can see.

11 years ago | Likes 32 Dislikes 1

nope, pic #6 shows 8+6 pin

And an Asrock Z77 motherboard, by the looks of it.

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Z77 Extreme4, to be precise. Pic #5 next to the GPU fitting.

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

As an addition to that, either 16 or 32gb of ram. Likely a i7 3770k as well.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Wow, you guys know PCs like I know cars.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not dual 8-pins, an 8-pin and a 6-pin per card. But that is what the reference 780 comes with.

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I stand corrected. Yer right.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Could be R9 290Xs?

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No, they are connected by a SLI bridge. Definitely Geforce cards.

Specs are mostly about money, this is about creativity. OP made something awesome.

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

it is quite cool, but if it couldnt play the game it made an homage too it woudl suck. I think it definitely can but just saying

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 5

To be fair, the waterblocks, fittings, cable sleeving etc. in this would have cost a lot.

Considering the liquid cooling piece on top and the tubes, I'd say the parts are pretty good.

11 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

Doesn't matter, it'll probably cook soon. Your res needs to be the highest bit in your loop, or else you'll form a bubble in your (1)

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 14

loop (the radiator in this case), which can restrict cooling greatly or stop it all together. (2)

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 12

Nah it just needs to be above the pump so it doesn't run dry. The pump can then push water up to the top

11 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Nope, the res should be above the pump but besides that put it wherever you want. Nobody would use top mounted rads if it were true.
