I really wanted to maintain a stock look on the outside but modded in the inside. It's the first case I actually took a dremel to.
 
I really got the idea from watching this video and going 3way SLI GTX 770s.. big mistake..
 

 
With this configuration my GPUs ran to 90c..
 

 
There was basically no way to cool them..Even with 16 fans..
 

 

 
With all the heat and power consumption, I decided to just get a couple of 780 ti cards and space them out.
 

 
Then of course, 1 week after I buy two GTX 780 ti, the 980s are released.. So I exchange!!  
 

 
I use the 980s for quite awhile and really don't mod my case much. I did take out a few bay drives.
Then the 980 TIs drop and I really start tearing my case apart.
I also made a few drilled lathe plaques just for the hell of it. ( I plan on doing laser etching next build)
 

 

 
At this point as far as air-cooling it is done for me. I get bored though... so I tear all the bay drives out and make room for radiator space at the bottom.
The 980TIs are released!! So I buy the first pair I can find. Some EVGA GTX 980 TI sc models. Perfect!
 

 
Final plan for my first full custom loop. I ended up adding 1 more radiator making x3 240s.
 

 
Got rid of the z97x / 4770k build and went with x99 and 5820k.
 

 
Everything installed and leak/flow testing. I ran into ZERO problems. It was MUCH easier than 99% of people make it out to be. 1 hour to install, 2 hours airpressure leak test and it was ready to go!
 

 
Here is after I'm done and its completely ready to go!
6464 Valley
16430 Firestrike extreme
25950 Firestrike
9002 Firestrike ultra
 
SLI clock 1480MHZ (stock bios)






 
And then I decided to get optimized radiator fans. The Blue LED ones were actually good but I decided to go all out with the EK Varder FF5 Furious. I do miss the LED though..
 

 

 
Temps are:
Ambient is 20c
 
CPU Idle 33c (4.5GHZ @ 1.31v)
      Max 70c
 
GPU 1+2 Idle 22c
             Max 38c
 
Now I have all these fans that are new that I have to get rid of! lolol

 
Thanks for reading!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nicely done, +1 given.

Me like very cool. I am a fan collector lol they would have a good home.

That is certainly a very blue build. Nicely done.

sweet build, too bad you will only get to keep half of it. :P 
 
Why did you go from three cards to two?

Look really nice, I like that GeForce logo on EVGA 980Ti SC.
Some people even success to remove him somehow and install on waterblock...
 
 

Thank you everyone! I got bored and am installing a full plexi window. Everything is all ready, I just need to buy the plexi tomorrow morning. I'll post pics.
I was thinking of moving everything to a caselabs build, but I'm just liking this case too much and it's finally basically done. :)

Well the divorce was looming. It was only a 3 month marriage so no big loss.

Nice build! You mentioned you missed the LED fans. You could add back the fans on the outside of rad, and use the non LED ones inside push-pull. Just a thought.

Yes I like that idea but I'm the type of person who if knows something is just mismatched, it will drive me crazy lol..
So I had 14 aerocool dead silence fans, sold 5, now areocool is sending me 4 more... lol
 
Anyway, made a window. Not super happy with it. After I get some black bolts on it I'll like it better.

Beautiful build friend. A lot of skill, money and TLC went into this build, and it shows. Looks amazing, sorry about the divorce, thank you for your constant service to others, and enjoy the heck out of that thing for all of us 

Very nice looking build...
