James, you have a real eye for design, your builds are always so harmonious. What type of car do you drive? (post a pic if you feel inclined)

Kipz · 16 Jan 2015 at 15:25

I never knew that EK did bracket plates.

Thanks. Currently I have a 2014 E350, Diamond White w/ Chestnut Brown interior

Stunning stuff, but you need to paint the edges of the Titan Z PCBs - that strip of green through the black blocks is setting my teeth on edge!

Also, are you planning on removing the text of the I/O shroud? EVGA X99 is now upside down since you've gone Inverted ATX

What can I say? When you work and photos are this close to perfection, it's only the extreme OCD perfectionist niggles that can be discussed.

What are you plating your copper tubing in when it's cut and bent?

WuMyster · 20 Jan 2015 at 17:04

Didn't even realise this was James Walt.......
Thought a new phenomenal "builder" was here.
Guess the name speaks for the build then.

scubes · 20 Jan 2015 at 20:51

Sorry for the lack of updates, work is killing me right now. Plus my wife is supposed to be giving birth any day...

Here's a couple of quick verbal updates:

I ran into two small issues, in reverse ATX the Titan Z's sag like crazy - way more than my OCD can take, so I've switched to regular ATX - which to be honest looks better in this case, I can't pin point why but it just does. The other issue is that the EK rads are a little too thick to fit inside the rad chambers unless you don't slide the covers back on - which wont work. So DazMode/Darkside stepped up and has just shipped me a couple of their 27mm rads.

As soon as they arrive I will begin the tubing. Should be any day now.

Good luck with the 'little modder' James - have you got a Mini-ITX build lined up for him/her?

savagesam117 · 29 Jan 2015 at 17:44

This is one of the most beautiful builds i've ever seen. I'm in love.. I don't even want to start imaging prices

Swagger187 · 29 Jan 2015 at 18:29

Echoing others. Lovely build. Imagine the Sauce really topped of those cards. Looks it.
