So I have spent many months quitely working on a way to design a pc that was liquid cooled, in the shape of a pyramid and not too big. What you see below are three renders of something I have been working in google sketchup, the base is 450mm X 450mm, its about 550mm tall and I plan to have two 360mm radiators for mild overclocking. Please offer your feedback regarding my design, such as what you think about airflow, heat dispersion, blah blah blah. I need all the constructive critism to iron out any flaws, I'm not going to have an internal CD drive, its takes up space and I rarely use the one in my computer now. My planned components are:
GTX 590's
EK 360 radiator X2
SSD PCI express board
2 SSD and 2 HDD (on top of motherboard)
Corsair 1200 psu
Bitspower dual D5 mod top
Swiftech MCP655 pumps
 
  
  

looks like a task. i see alot of these diagrams and little finished products. best of luck.

I made a custom case once.. and my experience is: Make sure that there is room for cablemanagement!

+1 On the monolith, and you = god if you do a necron monolith pc!

maybe you should try and get this and rework it into your own vision....http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/unique-atx-cases-compared,1561-9.html

Not entirely sure yet what its going to be made from, probably aluminum and acrylic. I want to build as much of it myself without having to go to a professional to get materials cut, but I need the proper equipment, something I lack at the moment

Cool, I wish you luck and can't wait to see what the final case will look like. Let me know if you need any assistance on the acrylic work!!!

I have updated the design and got a rough estimate of cost for this project, just the case of course, the pc components I want to incorporate reach in the $3000 range I think. But the case, if I get the right people to help shouldn't be more than 300 or 400. But this is my updated watercooling system plan, will this work or not? That's the big question.
 

Yeah that thing is wicked man.  i wish i had the kind of money to poor into something like this. i love working with my hands, especially when that means upgrading my tech. I wish you the best of luck and keep us updated on any new developments and progress i wanna see this thing when it's done!

Yes, I will update a full picture with all the components tonight if you want to see how it all comes together. I just wanted to know if the w/c loop was going to be enough for mild overclocking on the cpu and maybe the gpu's.
 
Update: This is the chassis that I intend to build, the bottom will be made from aluminum or steel and the rest is acrylic.
