Idea:

So here's a run up of all that's been done so far.

I got bored and decided my current case was nice but not as crazy as myself. (Current Build here)
So the outcome was near £700 in parts and a hell of a lot of time.

Started with my good old Aerocool Strike-X Air case

Decided okay lets be honest... it's bland in black and red.. it needs more POWER!!
So i striped it appart

time to prime the case for a re-spray and kind of liked it in white

NO NO NO!! I'm not going white again. So gold it is.

Okay so first coat of gold is on. Will need to hold off until tomorrow before i can get more gold and hopefully better weather.

Here's a sneaky peak at what it looks like toinight with it's single coat and a sneaky peak at what i'm going to be doing next

It's far from finished, custom made arc reactor is on it's way, along side a nice custom waterloop for the build and a titan X which will be re-sprayed as soon as i get my hands on it.

Update: 05/06/2015
Custom arc reactor arrived along side the new coolant.

Coolant:

Motherboard and ram re-painted for the new case

Out for it's final coats

Paint is done, it's now time to add some decals and effects

Paint is done, now just waiting for my custom loop to arrive and my titan x.

So far the Mobo and RAM is ready, Waiting for the new loop + Titan X to arrive before i crack on and get all the internals done and finished.
Should be an update on tuesday

Short teaser video

Hopefully the weather clears up tonight and i can get the second coat done and maybe some components done. Just hoping that the rain stops

 

[Moraytech]

Updated

 

[Moraytech]

We're almost finished, just got the new cooler to fit and re-spray the titan X when they both arrive.
Uber excited

 

[Moraytech]

The Arc Reactor is awesome... who made it?

The new ASRock G10 Router wouldn't look out of place next to this.

Guy we found on ebay makes hands and helmets for a few superheroes.
Also does his own arc reactors, war machine's red reactor too.

Not a bad looking router. Shame my router is in a different room. don't fancy running a cable through the house haha

 

[Moraytech]

Update of the internals. Still waiting for the new cooler + Titan X to arrive.
I'm so impatient lol

 

[Moraytech]

Added some gold LED's to light the internals a little more.
Can't really see it because of the arc reactor being so bright haha


To Do List:
Fit new custom loop
Create custom cylinder Horizontal stand
Re-paint Titan X Casing
Titan X backplate gold chromed
Clear laquer the case to create gloss effect
Finish braiding the other cables
Red LED's fitted on underside of motherboard for an underglow effect.
Fit the touch 2100 properly
Pre-light the mayhen aurora coolant for more ''aurora'' look.
dim arc reactor lights

 

[Moraytech]

Teaser video i made today of the build, purely out of boredom.
Hate not having anything to do.. So enjoy

 

[Moraytech]

waiting for the larger cylinder res to arrive. we tried a 420mm rad on the back, however it doesn't fit

On another note, big thanks to be quiet! for the PSU.

 

[Moraytech]

Using the smaller cylinder.. I don't know why, it just looks better in the case than the big one does. :/
GPU Expected tomorrow, then back on track for project completion the MOBO will be w/c'd as well. however waiting for the compression fittings is a complete joke.

I'm ignoring the cables at the back until i'm closer to finishing. Last thing i want to do is tidy them up and then have to take it appart again.

 

[Moraytech]

This just gets better and better!

Thanks man, Just changed out those gold lights.
Too much gold killed it.
Fingers are crossed i get the GPU and compression fittings soon. Can get this build finished and move to my next one.

 

[Moraytech]

Lighting update. Added white lights instead of gold lights.
White really brings out the red and gold better

 

[Moraytech]

New cheapy mouse i bought for the build. Just for show, won't actually use it lol

 

[Moraytech]

Things left to do:
Customize the titan X when it finally makes it's appearance.
Polish up the paint job.
Fit the MOBO compression fittings / finish the loop
Install the be quiet! dark power pro 11 PSU
and that should be it done and dusted.

While waiting for the titan x to arrive, i've gone ahead and painted one of my previous graphics cards gold and red (MSI GTX 960 4GB OC)

 

[Moraytech]

For the time being, just one single coat of gold paint on the graphics card. Don't wanna lair it on too thick as i want to remove it later.
Wish the titan x would arrive already. This will do for now i guess.

 

[Moraytech]

Titan X Backplate came in. Looks pretty! Not gonna be black for long.
13/10mm compression fittings arrived for the motherboard.
Will get the loop finished tonight

 

[Moraytech]

Last update before the new PSU from be quiet! and titan X arrives. not much more i can do at the moment.
Added the motherboard to the loop.
Now many will ask why are you running it through the mobo first ?
Well here's why. When gaming that mobo doesn't heat up too much, however the CPU does.
So in order to avoid any heat issues, i ran the loop through the board and then into the CPU.
Idle temps hover around 25-28c Load temps right now on GTA V is keeping me around 53c which isn't bad at all.

 

[Moraytech]

Amazingly unique build!! love the LED ring

Thanks
If anyone has any suggestions i'd be open to them ? good or bad.

 

[Moraytech]

Seeing as the titan X has still not been received, i went ahead and finished the 960 4G OC Edition.
It's not what i want but it will do.

Some things look better when you add some sponsor decals

Backplate update:
