Firstly I wanted to show everyone what I started with and where I plan to head as the build progresses.
I did a very quick sketch up of the build as I vision it but kept it plain and simple not to give too much away before I actually progress with the build.
Below is my first render and as you can see i have kept it very bare but i just wanted to show a general shape as to where this project is heading.

So as you can see, I am aiming to create two separate sections, one essentially houses the components
and hides wiring while the other will be the main displayable area housing the motherboard and main parts of the PC.

I forgot to take some images of the build before I put it together and started working on it however,
I found these two photos of it untouched so please excuse everything else on the photos.

Below I have just sectioned the build off to see if components would fit or not and just placed a bit of paper down to create a temporary floor for the motherboard tray.

Hey everyone, here is another small update on the build. I got the main frame all painted with a 2k paint. The paint is 2 pack Auto black gloss so the paint is mixed with 2K Thinners and Hardener,

it does not need a clear coat. I am very happy with how the paint sprayed on and turned out. The nice gloss black should contrast really nice with the components going into the build.

 

Here are a few photos of the main frame all painted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If anyone would like to check out part two of the build all painted then here is the video below.

 

Hi everyone, sorry for the long Delay in updates but we are finally back from PAX and the most exciting news is that my wonderful girlfriend and I are now engaged, but nobody apart from close friends and family know so keep it quiet ;).

 

Pax was a wonderful experience and id do it again in a heart beat. It was a great opportunity to meet new faces and catch up with friends i had never seen in person.

 

Id love to thank Thermaltake for supplying our build at the MSI booth with all of the liquid cooling gear to make this build come to life. Here are some of the goodies that made this build look amazing.

 

 

Here we have the RGB Riing fans which i placed on my two radiators. The colour options are limitless, with high static pressure.

 

 

 

The Ventus X gaming mouse was an excellent edition to the setup, i love the feel of the mouse and the adjustable sensitivity works perfect for the type of game that i am choosing to play.

 

 

 

The Thermaltake Pacific P1 is a d5 pump with variable speed making it the perfect choice for my loop as it has a good amount of head pressure to keep the loop flowing at a consistant rate.

 

 

Now this bad boy was just made for the xpower titanium gaming motherboard, the colour combinations were a huge attraction and the performance is just an added bonus.

 

 

These radiators are very thin but they have dense fins so the liquid is getting cooled a lot more, these radiators were a perfect option for the space we had to work with.

 

 

These fittings are designed for 16mm hardtubing and we went with thermaltake PETG tubing which was very easy to work with, much easier than normal acrylic.

 

 

 

Once again Thank you Thermaltake for helping us out with this build all help is greatly appreciated and keeps us modders doing what we love best.

Hey everyone, i am back again with another update to our fire pit pc. There was a large amount of work that i was unable to capture due to the short amount of time i had to complete the build, however i did capture enough to show you the majority of the progress we went through.

 

Today i would like to show you guys the full assembly with tubing right up to the point of filling the build.

 

As you can see here there is a bit of a mess around me, i was working on two builds at once around 2 days before PAX. The back board you can see in this picture is MDF wood with some carbon fibre vinyl on it. I marked out where each cut needed to go so that the motherboard tray fit nice and neat.

 

 

Here we have the bottom section of the build. We have begun tubing and so far everything is turning out as planned.

 

 

I decided to hide the on/reset buttons underneath the build this time because at PAX the people have a habbit of pressing the buttons all of the time and they turn the PC off.

 

 

The thermaltake radiators are mounted to some radiator brackets that i made and i am using the thermaltake RGB RIING fans as a stand out feature of the build.

 

 

We got the top section in and added the motherboard. The tubing routes from the bottom and into some through panel fittings which i have running into the custom reservoir i made.

 

 

 

I added some clear perspex to the cut out window spaces and finished all of the tubing in the top section and now it is ready for filling!
