So yeah black Friday came around and I basically couldn't help myself.

Some specs then the plan!:

GPU: 2x Zotac 780ti 3gb GHz edition
PSU: 850W Super Flower Gold
SSD: Samsung EVO 240gb
HDD: WD Green 3TB
Case: Corsair 750D - With custom front panel, PSU cover and Rad grills

The cooling:

Pump: D5
Rads: 240 black ice GTX, 360 black ice GTX

A quick test to make sure it was all alive!

Get the case naked to try out my design for the PSU tunnel... too many hexagons at the moment!

Installing the res needed some creative mounting efforts...

You will notice my assistant "theboyriley" who was the creator of the SR-2 Desk in another project log. The aluminum component had to be drilled and cut into the cable grommet to accomodate the primochill compression res...

In all its' glory:

You'll notice the CPU block is also installed. I'm using frosted blocks along with the res and some nice pastel liquid (orange) Unfortunately the EK block came with some rather strange defects:

The blackplate was all sorts of shapes!

And then to follow a whole box of carbon fittings!

Same build but getting enthoo luxe

I was also tempted by the Enthoo but ended up with the 750D as it was B-grade and too cheap to ignore!

Plus I wanted to make a custom acrylic front to replace the restrictive existing one so it was a no brainer in the end. Best of luck with your build! Are you getting the orange/black one? (is that available for the luxe?) :)

black one i think and you can get the LED easy as it already got the wires all set up for it, dont think white/orange would be that stand out
 
Currently working on this:

Rad grill for the 240mm rad in the front

Currently being laz0red while I post this in 5mm plexi orange

Frosted on 1 side gloss on the other. Will upload pics when it is finished! :cool:
 
Yeah it started because the grills on the 750 are hexagonal but now I just really like them. They tessellate so well its almost hypnotic making them on isometric mode in the design. Some will be filled to break up the pattern a little on the PSU cover, it won't be quite as open as in the original card model.
