PROJECT LOG CANIS MAJORIS (modded Tt Core X9) - Thermaltake CaseMOD Invitational S2

[alexciobanu]

Hey guys,

Here are some pics of tubing up the bottom section with the rads and reservoirs mounted.















Sorry for the bad lighting in some of those shots

Here is the side panel, one full clear piece of acrylic to cover the entire case!



And some work on the front panel windows or a stealth window as I like to call it.









Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

Coming along nicely! I follow your posts on FB as well. You have to finish this before starting on that next build lol

Thanks a lot mate! You may have seen the quick video from the EB Games Expo on my FB page then. The build is mostly finished, I just need to catch up the build logs to the current state of the build.

I'm currently waiting for Thermaltake AU to ship it back to me so I can add some finishing touches!

Testing out the bottom fans before building on top of them and I can't access the cables!



Custom reservoirs are in and I started taking off the protective backing on the acrylic sheets. The nice reflections are just what I was hoping for!





Also hardware update!

Thanks a lot to RamCity.com.au for sending out these two Crucial MX200 500GB SSDs and also an awesome 512GB Samsung SM951 M.2 PCI-E SSD!



The two Crucial SSDs are in!



Just having a laugh as I can't believe how many Strix 970s I have acquired! Two are going in the Parvum build I've been working on for a mate for ages now, some of you may have seen it! And the other either 2 or 3 are going in this build!



Time to install the MB, CPU, GPUs, RAM and all the awesome Tt water blocks!




























Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

This build is looking awesome Alex! Any idea on what the finished weight of this beast will be? ...and does she come with her own forklift?

Thanks a lot mate! The build was somewhat finished at the EB Games Expo in Sydney over the weekend, think it must have weighted about 50kg or so. Really hard to pick up by a single person due to the size as well.

Thanks a lot mate

Those are some great hardware choices and aesthetically pleasing too! Those would go great in a Mech build or even a Batmobile IMO. Great work man, keep those updates coming!

Thanks a lot mate! Yea everything should go nicely in any sort of dark themed or sci-fi looking build I'm planning to use the gear in other builds in the future too

What is the final weight gonna be on this?
Looks like it wouldn't look out of the ordinary to build a twin caterpillar-track system at the base, just to move it around.

Like I mentioned above, when I had it running at the EB Games Expo last weekend it was pretty much impossible to move by just a single person. I'd say it was around 50kg or so, crazy heavy for a PC.

Haha yea that's not a bad idea

 

[NZKshatriya]

yeah, didn't read that part. It already looks like a mini tank.

It's all good Thanks a lot

reason I brought up the treads, was your chassis reminded me of what some call the worlds smallest armored vehicle.
Just gonna post the youtube link as text, so as to not blow up the thread.

A quick look before tubing up! Most of the part were in at this point!



















Thanks for checking it out!

Okay guys, here it is all tubed up! This is how I had it set up for the EB Games Expo and only used two cards. Not sure if I will change things around with the loop before final completion.

I'm waiting to receive high res pics from EB Games but I can post some I took with my phone later on.

Let me know what you guys think of the tubing, I really like it going around the outside like that!



























These shots were taken around 5am when I was rushing to get it finished in time to get picked up for the EB Games expo in Sydney last weekend.

I'm currently waiting for the build to arrive back sometime this week, then more work will continue!

I'll post those EB Games pics in the next update

Cheers,

Alex
