HeretEK-An EK Vulture build

[B N3GATIVE]

Welcome one and all to a project I have running concurrently with IDORU,a build for the EK mod off event using their not to be released EK Vulture enclosure!

The event!

** Image removed. It was over 1,280 pixels wide and spoiler tags aren't allowed **

The case in all its glory!



Word dont do justice,its 3mm construction is overkill but damn its lovely!









Lots of room internally for ITX.



360 mount and the slim slotloader optical bay.



Behind the tray lies the SSD/HDD area and cable management,plenty of room to hide the 'uglies' if extensions are your thing.



The EK PE 360 rad that i will be using...



...and the 1850 Vardars that will be mounted on them







Since this is a mod-off....maybe this will indicate what kind of mod im doing.....



I hope the 360 is enough........​

Great to see this case in full now. This is going to be interesting! The only case that could tempt me away from my Parvum. I am going to enjoy this build log!

What happened to that case? Was the MB Tray used a dinner table or what? Scracthes all over it

These are just Prototype cases,these were never intended for retail sale.

Really interesting case... love the curved side window. I'll be keeping a close watch on this build!

How big is the case btw... hard to judge from the pics. Is it mATX?

I'm more interested in your theme than the case itself tbh. Looking forward to seeing how you integrate it.

Nice case design, although it looks like it could be on its side just as much as upright.

Subbed !

If they were for sale, I'd have bought one already!

They look sooooo good.

Agreed, unique looking case and cant wait to see what you build within it!

Its ITX by default...this one wont be however..x99 mATX for this puppy.

Dont expect dripping maws of daemons or the like...

I take inspiration rather than slavish focus on a theme.

EK do look at this log,if its said often enough then who knows.....

The fret saw is ready.....

It looks stunning. I was waiting for the RVZ02, but this looks so much better.

Please make this happen!

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

Really like the outside of the case but internally needs more work which im sure will happen before it hits public release.

BLOCKS FOR THE BLOCK GOD!

The GPU blocks that will be used,a pair of 290's will be going into this one....













I bet you are looking at this now thinking...."Not a lot of rad for those...." Well,this is also an experiment after seeing a few Sli rigs with OC'ed CPU's with minimal rad face.
The cards wont be OC'd but the CPU most definitely will be!

Dont worry,modding and paint start very soon for those with the itch.

The main hardware is all sorted which left me wondering what PSU to use,I asked Be Quiet again as their PSU's have always been solid performers for me,I like them so much that im on my 6th one.
To my joy they said yes!
So its my pleasure to say the BeQuiet will be sponsoring the PSU for this build and the PSU and fans for IDORU!

I went with PowerZone 1000w,that will be plenty for a x99 sli rig and watercooling.

Thanks Be Quiet UK!

The all important spec sticker.



After the happiness of that,some modding broke out.

I have chopped the side panel with an EK logo,this will be meshed over and lit from behind.



And I started on the back panel..









still needs the screw holes drilled and the cutout for the removable tray done but....



The removable tray,a spare part from Lian Li.

Next up is mount the tray and clear out all the unused parts in the case.

3mm Alu......the jigsaw loves it!​

Cannot wait for the next update. An MATX version of this case is my dream!

 

[haxxbaxx]

very nice case

 

[B N3GATIVE]

I gots me some new hardware!



Wait a minute.....this is not a 2011.....



Ah...wait....there it is....



Its not about the size they say.....how can this be? I haz proof this is not so....



And the board in all it glory!





The DDR4 kindly provided by Crucial!



Suited and booted and ready to paaaaaartaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!

Those DIMMs and this board=WIN.



In other news,the case structure is painted and just needs a clear,the sides and front need other stuff doing. Its coming together well but painting takes time that has been swallowed up on other projects. Still,the deadline is a way off yet!

 

[B N3GATIVE]

Good news!
Noob? @ Bittech had a pair of 290's for sale and I try not to turn a good deal down,especially GPU's..

The hardware needs to be blacked out before getting that all buttoned up but the block suits in shape,although i may swap the top out for an acetal one.





As for the kit....



See? Nothing special......

What is the light? Or am I seriously seeing it as a monitor with a white screen?!
