How much did you spend on case/display/lighting/cooling components?

How many hours would you say went into this?

Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently?

He for real said lmk bout questions, and ghosted everyone

Nice build tho

This person definitely doesn't have a cat.

Awesome build. Well done, love how clean it is. I’m glad it’s not full of RGB everywhere and colored coolant.

On that note, that’s a LOT of radiator you’ve got going on. I’m running an i9 and 4080 on waterblocks and have a single radiator, they don’t go over 59C and it stays plenty quiet.

Now you only have 5 years of payments before the hardware is paid off.

How do you dust it?

Wow, that's so pretty.

It is good. That's a lot of radiator heat dissipation.

That's cool but all I can think of is how dusty it will get.

one radiator for the cpu, one for the gpu, what's the other one for? warm days?

So happy other people do cool alternative builds like this. I enjoy the idea and creativity, but I will stick with my boring black box filled to the brim with computing power.

Awesome build!

Wow, I didn't even know this was a thing. Very cool!

That’s badass

Pwetty :3

Beautiful

Classy as hell. Love the pipes.

Needs more brass.

At first I thought it was a tool rack

That's fucking cool. I've always thought the open designs were pretty sweet, this is giving me ideas. If I end up building one I might do something like this with walnut and more brass.

It’s giving Johnny Mnemonic. Very nice.

Pretty. But what do you pump the water around for, if the heat sink isn't larger than the one on the GPU?

The original steam machine.

Wow that's a beauty.

Make sure you keep an eye on your VRM temps. I don’t see any airflow for that in your picture.

I love it except for the plywood.

Not sure if anyone uses builds.gg anymore. But I posted a bunch of pictures there.

I also have my other builds.liated as well.

There are some pretty nice systems there. Put mine to shame.

How did you find the right spacing for the motherboard holes?

Risky?

Have the same processor, very happy with it.

Never seen a 6 fan radiator before, goddang

Wow. That looks very nice. Great job!

For those curious on my the VRM Temps.

Here is the summary of my VRM temps: CPU VDD (Main Core Power) VRM: Averaged 58.1°C with a peak of 61.3°C. CPU SOC (System on Chip Power) VRM: Averaged 57.7°C with a peak of 60.7°C. CPU MISC (Miscellaneous Power) VRM: Averaged 64.9°C with a peak of 66.0°C. GPU VRM: Averaged 34.6°C with a peak of 35.0°C.

That's cool, but I would have used wheels instead.

The ATX specification will have the exact measurements. You'll be able to get the dimensions from that.

You can also find a junk mobo to use as well from eBay.

What did you do about the radiation leakage? How did you shield it?
