I'm hoping the fact that the thread title makes no sense is why you clicked! :P

But it is technically correct! My next build is a dual system build within the white Corsair 9000D, with a Threadripper 7970X + 4090 in the 'main' motherboard section, with a Ryzen 9800X3D + 4090 in the ITX section.
I've gone full Corsair ICUE Link to minimise cabling.
My list of components is below:
Threadripper Build (Workstation):
CPU: AMD Threadripper 7970X
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (ASUS TUF)
RAM: 128GB (4x32GB) 6000Mhz Kingston Fury Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMM ECC
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aero D TRX50 Rev1.2
CPU Block: Heatkiller IV Pro Threadripper CPU Waterblock
GPU Block: Granzon ASUS TUF 4090 Block
Power Supply: Phanteks Revolt X 1200W Platinum (For Dual System Function)

AM5 Ryzen Build (1For Gaming):
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (ASUS TUF OC)
RAM: 64GB (2x32GB) 6000Mhz CL30 GSKill Ripjaws S5 White
Motherboard: Gigabyte X870I Aorus Pro Ice (Not yet purchased)
CPU Block: Alphacool Core One White CPU Waterblock
GPU Block: Granzon ASUS TUF 4090 Block
Power Supply: ASUS ROG Loki 850W Platinum

Fans: 30x QX120 120MM Fans... (Haha...)

Watercooling:
Radiators: 2x EKWB Quantum Surface S360 White, 2x EKWB Quantum Surface P480M White
Pumps: 2x Corsair XD5 RGB Elite Pump/Reservoir Combos in White
Distro Plates/Reservoirs: Custom made by Radikult Customs.
Fittings: Bitspower

Power cables: Custom cables from Cablemod

To be honest I've already completed a fair chunk of this build. I've taken some photos along the way but I just couldn't help myself, also in order to do measurements for the custom reservoirs/distro plates I sort of had to get some components installed. I'm still waiting on the X870I motherboard to be released but I've been doing as much other stuff as possible.

First phots are the crazy radiator/fan setup. Bloody expensive, and bloody heavy.




To use the two pumps in the build, after removing the HDD cage I have cut a piece of acrylic to shape so I can screw the pumps to the acrylic and then install the acrylic piece.

Here's after I've mounted the two pumps to the acrylic piece and then installed it:



Here's after I've put the fans in and installed some of the custom distroplates and reservoirws.



And, not including the power cabling, this is all the cables I've needed. Quite nuts considering the amount of hardware.



Here's a closer pic of the distro plate for thw two pumps. It receives an input from the back chamber, and then runs through the two pumps and to an output which will go to the ITX CPU block.

 
Looks good and interesting with custom distros etc...I'm just struggling on the need for the second system. Surely a Threadripper 7970X with a 4090 is going to get you good enough gaming performance already?! I'm assuming the 4090 on the TR is for Cuda, video effects or something non-gaming. Is the requirement that this be processing something for a long duration and you then game on the other or are you not allowed to mix business/pleasure on the same system? :confused:

Sure, I can game on a 7970X, but I can't game whilst it's doing workstation things! :P

To be perfectly honest I know this is complete overkill, but I've always wanted to do a dual system build in the 1000D but I like my white builds. So the 9000D coming out has been a godsend.
I'm just going all out (hence going with custom distros etc.) since I don't plan on touching this for ages. The 4090 for the Threadripper is also overkill, but due to the way I'm doing the build I wanted the GPUs of both systems to match.
Building this PC is just as much for hobby as it is for practical reasons.
 
Small updates today:
First pic is just a test fitting of the threadripper system gpu on the vertical riser. Plus I now have the final distro block on the rear fan mounting slot.


And I now have everything cabled up, so this is all the cables that'll be required. Not too shabby although getting everything hooked up to the atx PSU was a pain in the ass.


I should be receiving the ITX motherboard within the next few days. Then I'll have all I need to finish the tubing runs and mount everything. Very excited. :)
 
Not seeing any of the pics in that last post.
Just for the record, if the workstation is busy processing stuff that's perfectly justifiable, I was just puzzled as to the "need". That said, also perfectly reasonable just because you can, and you want to :D

Haha, 'Need' isn't really a word I can use with this build much. :P
Not sure about the pics, I posted them the same way as the other ones... I'll try something different.

Would you mind sharing more pictures of the distros plates and fittings you used? I have a 1000D dual system with 30qx 120 fans & 5 rads 4 pumps 2 motherboards 2 gpus but would like to clean up the tubing routing by using the distro plates your have

From the post you quoted - Distro Plates/Reservoirs: Custom made by Radikult Customs.

So you're gonna have to get some made - Not sure if @Fatpizza could share the designs with you, but if dyou're gonna get some made for yourself you might be better off designing yourself to align with your components.

I ordered from them Custom made by Radikult Customs like the OP
