Was unable to snag a KP waterblock fast enough, so going with air-cooled (yeah, and, plus I'm lazy :-) MB: x299 Dark CPU: 7820X (bcavnaugh has scolded me on moral grounds against using such a lightweight processor for such a powerful board, objections noted) PSU: SuperNova 1600 T2 (Titanium) GPUs: 1080 Ti KP 1080 Ti FE 1080 Ti FE Titan Xp (not shown) Mem: Gskill Tridentz 3200 (4 x 16gb) 64 Gb Total  Not earth shattering, but it should make a nice compact powerful build :-) Will post completed build when done.

How are you planning to use 3x1080Ti+TXp? Mining?

The 2 FE cards are leftovers from mining. KP was for gaming / graphics. Will be a general compute rig. Mining at this stage would simply burn out the cards without much return.
There are a couple different compute (CUDA) applications that will experiment with. Monte Carlo simulations, etc.

Thank you! It will be an interesting challenge putting so much hardware into the Bullet Case. Was assured it would fit. With some good cable management, all sleeved, should be ok. Will do without the sata spin drive cage as it would interfere with psu. Only have one spin drive for backup. Can do without. Will use 2 ssd drive cages and a 120 clc for the i7. And lots of fans... have 4 ssd, the other cage will be for upgrades.
The project starts tomorrow. Getting psyched

Nice collection of hardware. Board should be no problem, Caselabs are showing a EATX server MB compatible. Please make a mods rig profile with pics and 3Dmark score. +1 Great footnote @ Bcav.

That is an awesome build. I don't know how you managed to cram everything in that chassis. Love the outside color as well.

Months later, I spot this. I love the build too! The black and red looks damn nice. Kudos for cramming so much into the case as well.
I am reading this as I am part way through my new build: Caselabs SMA8 Revision A (I was lucky enough to order one before they announced going into receivership). Snagged a Dark for £315. Snagged a i7-7800X for £180. (I know, I know... please don't come after me bcavnaugh). But the build should be clean and I am getting nice hardware at decent prices. And the build is appropriate for my use / applications.
Think 1: Caselabs Mercury S5 | Retired Think 2 rev B: Caselabs Magnum SMA8/A | MSI X570 Tomahawk | R7-5800X | G.Skill DDR4 3200 MHz 14-14-14-34 | MSI RTX 3090 Suprim | 2x Samsung 970 Evo 2TB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1200 | Dell UP2715K 5K monitor | Twin custom water-cooling loops with Hardware Labs GTX 560 and GTS 480 with D5 pumps and Aquaero 6 XT control
