You're probably sick of these now but i'm here again with another project build. This time we're going aircooled! Though we might make some last minute changes to the GPU side depending on dates of arrival.

This project is made possible because of our collaborators and sponsors!
















​


We've teamed up with Kompcase.com to work on a showcase build on their prototype chassis Nexus. The case is not officially announced but has been shown on Instagram via their stories. Based on their OG series APEX, the Nexus is a smaller, more consumer focused aircooled open chassis. Perfect for high end aircooling from the likes of Noctua!

We're still confirming parts so we will update what the core components will be in due time. On a side note, this will be a Arrow Lake based build unless Asrock decides to send us a AMD board instead :rolleyes:.

damn you seem to be churning out custom builds left right and centre. Keep up the good work! Enjoying seeing what comes up next, and to steal your ideas :P
 
Sorry for the slow progress, just had a baby so everything is running at half speed. Should have updates within the next few weeks as we get the prototype in.
 
Congrats! As you've probably found, the initial build process is fairly intuitive and mostly enjoyable, but the ongoing regular maintenance can be a bit of a drag at times :)

Thanks mate! I build so many now, i forget what maintenance is since i almost always end up dismantling them to reuse the core components for the next project :cry:.
 
I assume this one will be WC, as would otherwise look a bit odd with the rad mounts on the 'wings' (unless you're cutting them off!)

Also, what is the long thing with the slot in it? - Had assumed it was an anti-sag bracket but seems the wrong way vs the motherboard orientation.

We've done an aircooled build first because the princilple behind this frame is for more mainstream customers who will aircool it. So it's been designed for aircoolers with top and bottom fan mounts (which can double as rad mounts for AIO's).

Behold! The aircooled build! So i built this with the end user in mind, so no fancy cables, stock accessories and no modding (except the fans on the RTX 3080 Noctua card to match the aesthetics).
