Congrats on winning the contest. Also, have fun with the build.      

Awesome, cant wait to see the progress and final build!

Hi, so the case for this project has finally arrived here's a quick look.



 

 

 
Oh it comes with a couple of 140mm Riing fans out of the box that is nice though I am not going to use them.

Next step destroy the case lol, I will be back soon.

That case is Huge, I see they optimize him nice for watercooling.
You will build liquid cooled PC?

Hi thanks for dropping by and Yes it will be water cooled  

Hi it's been a short while and I am really happy that I can finally post some progress on this work log, Schedule has been really tough for me in the past few weeks but I got everything figured out now so I will be posting updates every week.
 
To kick things off lets start to strip the case down.
 
They were really easy to remove.


For this batch I used a drill to take out the riveted parts.

 
I'm really not an expert in sleeving that is why I use sleeved extensions on my builds but I want to try it out this time,
Clean looking cables from the front I/O would be nice. 
 

 
The front audio cord needs to be stripped off its rubber coating because I only have 3mm sleeves.
 

 
I am very slow at this lol this took me about 30 minutes.
 

 
And yes! but I don't know where I can get a sleeve that would fit the USB 3.0 cable :(



 
Now I have to stop because this!! :) again EVGA thank you thank you thank you! So I took a while to unbox and appreciate this madness that you guys sent me :)


 

 
Lets unbox them!!
 
Lets start with the memory modules :)
 

 

 
The 1000G Power Supply :)
 

 
Superb packaging!
 

 
I am going to sleeved them later down the line.
 

 
Lovin' the hammered finish :)
 

 

 

 
The Z170 Classified K Motherboard
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Shroud for the rear I/O
 

 
Beatifulll!!
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 
EVGA Classfied 980ti
 

 

 
Very nice! we have bonus items :)
 

 

 
Going back to the card itself.
 

 

 
It is massively awesome!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
That was a blast!
 
So that took a lot of time for me because I was really amazed with your products and by the way this is my first time using EVGA gears :)
 
 
Going back to the case :)
 
The case has temporarily lost its rigidity when the motherboard tray and rear panel was removed so aluminum bars to the rescue! I like using aluminum bars because they are easy to cut and file.
 

 

 
I also gave the case a little tilt :)
 

 

 
It not super sturdy yet but it will be later :)
 
3mm Acrylic will serve as out motherboard tray for this project, some cutting and measuring.
 

 
Aluminum bars for the skeletal system of the modular test bench.
 

 

 
So those are all that I have so far, I am working on the measurements them cut them altogether then screw or have them riveted to the relevant points.
 
Next update will be on the weekend, see ya!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Awesome progress, and those are some sweet pictures of the EVGA gear!!!

Nice update
 
Looking forward to the next one

A few updates for now, I have always used sleeved extensions on my previous builds so I am not an expert in sleeving but this time I am giving it a shot and I would like to get it out of the way because I am really slow at this. Color of the sleeves are Black, Carbon and very little white on the 24 pin cable.
 
So here we go :)
 

 
A good friend gave me one of his DIY pin extractor, thanks man!


 
Here is the 24 Pin cable.
 

 

 

 
Cables for the GPU
 

 
EPS 12V
 

 
and some other shots :)
 

 

 
I haven't done the Sata and 4 pin molex yet because I ran out of Carbon sleeves :p So I have slow progress right now but I think that it's better than none ;)
 
Thanks and see you on the next update :)
 

Please don't use a Huntkey PSU for any reason. Especially with heavy loads put on them.

Hi everyone I am back with a few
 
Worked on the mobo tray
 

 
My handwriting is super bad lol
 

 
Removing those 2 thumb screws will make the mobo tray pop off the it's base.
 

 
Yes in every project I have to mess one two or three things up lol have to
retouch one of the stand offs as it was not on point,
 

 
The Z170 Classified K fits right on top of the custom tray :)
 

 
EVGA 1000G sitting in there nice and tight.
 

 
And some angled shots
 

 

 

 

 
Thanks be back in a jiffy!

Looking good!  Really nice bends on that acrylic.  I definitely know how hard that can be especially by hand!
