Love it. I’d totally drop something into it though shorting the whole thing out.

Oh yes! Gonna be a full WC build, i was considering putting the 4070 Ti ProArt card into this but i think i'll stick my 4090 FE with the Heatkiller block in instead. Only thing i need to get is the black Aluminium covers to replace the Steel covers i have on now.
Haha, i've dropped a bunch of screws a few times but that was with the system turned off when i swapping some fans over. One of the nice things with open frames, is its easy to retrieve anything you've dropped.
Asrock as promised sent over the board i needed for the Black Version to pair with the Memory kit for this build. Now whether i can hit 8000mts using the xmp profile will highly depend on the cpu i test it with, i have my new trusty 13700K which seems to have a pretty good IMC so here's hoping.
The board is pretty perfect for the build, all black, no rgb, no fuss. Pics of the actual board coming later tonight

nice board mate. Will be interesting to see what speed you get with the ramAsrock as promised sent over the board i needed for the Black Version to pair with the Memory kit for this build.

Hopefully XMP on and 8000mts at CL36.
Tried out the vertical mount and i think i like it more, it balances the entire build i think?
I've always liked open cases and considered a build myself, but the dust, cat hair and little cat noses would disagree!
I see you went on a like spree
, thanks man.I was about to say dust isn't so bad, infact it's less than having an enclosed case as there's minimal fans blowing dust onto your components but the cats would definitely disagree

I was surprised to find this, when I built my first PC in what I would call an open case. It was an Antec Skeleton and the 200mm fan on the top kept the dust off everything. I still have it in the loft!
But yes, kitty cats are not going to love you for having open fans on external surfaces like this build! Ouch!
P.S. yes to the vertical mount.

I remember the Skeleton well! @Ace Modder would appreciate this too, imagine if we did a retro but modern build in this now
. I remember wanting one but not being able to afford it at the time.Vertical mount is definitely a go, i have a custom waterblock being made for our Asus ProArt 4070 Ti coming! I'm hyped for it and hoping to use it in a few builds.

This is the guy, he's called Killian if you're interested.

one for the address book. I've already done the design work for a Quadro P400 block, but always good to have references.
Definitely one to reach out to if you want your design to come to life. I've seen his work from another creator and it's pretty good, especially for the price.

The P400 block is part of a bigger run of stuff I'm going to get Alex to quote on, but the more options the better before I decide I can't afford any of it and Asteria 3 stays in Fusion 360 like she's done for the past 3 years

Wish i had the machinery and tooling to help you out here, truth is i'm relying on others to get stuff done for me when it comes to some of the custom work. Maybe one day when i get big enough and have enough in contracts to actually start purchasing machinery and tooling to make my own workshop.
And huge thanks to Antec @Ace Modder for sponsoring this build with some of their new products! Their new SF850 ATX 3.1 SFX psu arrived along with some Storm T3 Fans (30mm thick) and i cannot wait to try these out! Went with some non rgb fans to balance the build out, plus not the biggest fan of rgb as i love subtleness.
Antec played a huge part in my early days of pc building, my very first proper pc case was an Antec Mini P180, so seeing them come back strong with some exciting new products is abit of a nostalgia for me personally.
Unboxing video and some product shots coming later this week.
