Had a few days home between trips so I got started . . .still waiting for four 480s and an Asus R3E . . .
First, I get my fittings sponsored and I do not want to shell out cash for those nice black ones so . . .

Ghetto powers . . . activate!

Will have to touch them up after installing but such is life:

Still waiting for fitting extenders so for now I am using other ones to test fit. I am using a set of Koolance manifolds to allow me to do a nice parallel setup. Will it perform well? Who knows?

The optical bay is one the back in this rig. It will house a Martix Orbital Typhoon display, one of the cool new Lamptron fan controllers, and a blue ray drive. I am thinking about stealthing the bay with modders mesh.

Using AC Ryan fan grills for contrast with the case.

Also will use inline temp sensors since I am using Asus ROG boards

By the time I get home from Miami I should have a sleeved PSU from Performance PCS and hopefully will know if I need to do short-term build with my existing hardware (have to be at a show on April 30th) or if my new stuff will be here.
 
Rolled up some red LEDS for the GPU blocks:

Leak testing . . .I realize this type of loop is a little different but then I love to experiment . . .if it does not work well I can always change it and will have to redo it all when my Rampage 3 and 480s come in from Asus and Nvidia . .

Good GNUs . . .I am on Brimstone now . . it fired up just fine . . .temps are not horrible. Temp 1 and 3 are the inline sensors (in the in and out manifolds). Only a 2 degree delta. Thought it would be more. Going to fire up some Bad Company 2 before finishing it up. . .

My friend at Riddick Graphics made me a nice wrap for the dvd drive and modesty coverups for my case (based on the artwork on my case by Steve Nunez www.stevenunez.com )):

Three 480s will be here from Nvidia tomorrow and a Rampage III from Asus soon as well (hopefully with a new proc) . . .have the nickle-plated Danger Den blocks ready for them . . .will polish the blocks up to a nice shine before installing of course

Dude, looken more and more awesomer! :)
 
Those clips are from my vet clinic . . .though I did walk around the clinic pretending to smoke a doobie which made the employees laugh their arses off
 
please keep in mind this is essentially a temp build until I get the Rampage III board and blocks for it. then I take it all out and redo it and make it look nice. this is just put together so I can game on it
 
Care package from Asus. They sent me an i7 975 to hold me over until they get me a 980X. They also sent an awesome Antec True Power 1200 watt PSU that I will use for my similar Star Wars build.

Man your builds are always so EPIC!!! You sir are a god of gods to the modding commmunity!!
 
Epic. I first saw this on OriginPC forums but caught it again here.

Pure Epicness.
 
So...do you just get free shit from them because they got a wild hair up their ass one day and just liked your mods? I'm so confused at what's going on in this thread.
 
This case sucks... as in sucks the black soul out of me! Are those decals of the women? That is one hell of a job man. Very inventive! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Light in case is temporary, replacing with color-changing LED strips:
