Project 'Silver Ghost'

The Change Of Motherboard

Well after a lot of thought and some moments of madness thinking about X99 I ended up doing a deal with a mate for this sweet Asus P9 X79 Pro and a binned 3930k that can clock over 4.6Ghz with little effort so here are some pics I am very happy with this and the blue does not overpower the white and silver :)








More updates in the next few days as the frame is powder coated along with other bits so I can start to put stuff together now :)
 
Hi again folks here is an other small update to show you how the RADS and the PSU turned out after the stripping down and was well worth the effort I think.

The EK WE180MM in White




The Frame will still need to have drill work but I got it done now while the other bits where being done , it will all be covered with the panels but best its coated and more durable. and no waiting time once the panels are cut.





The Case Feet


The Corsair HX850i white edition





Braided the Vandal Switch with Teleios White , Grey/Dark Grey.





Got to put the heat sink on the back of the Aquero and Braid up the cables for this Flow meter.




That's all for now folks really not much more I can do until the Panels are cut but not long to go now.
I do have my EK Vulture Case that needs the log starting and will keep me busy this weekend bye for now :)

Brave decision changing the motherboard, need to see it in situ and get a better feel for the blue. I think it'll work great once things come together.
Thanks for the update :)

I know mate It might seem crazy but I was just not happy and X99 was out of the question for many reasons next update will show the panels fixed to the frame and the home stretch is in site :)
 
hey guys funny you should bump this post today I am actually working on this and got an update coming later , basically I never imagined I would end up building PC's for other people as much as I am and when I started this I had much more time, But with me finishing a few builds of late I have had some space to get this back on the boil :)

I really am loving the work load some days get a bit much and some of the stuff done does not even make the page as it just feels like I am spamming but yes lots happening thanks for looking again :)
 
Hi guys I know this update has been long over due but this project has become a longer on that I thought and I have built several other PC's since I started this and this has been on the back burner a few times.
One of the problems I had was the original frame was out of square and was causing the panels to be a really poor fit so I just went and made a new one ...



This meant more holes was needed so ..







Will be using a AquaComputer Bay Res at the top



Feet not sure on this right now I am looking at cutting a metal plinth or maybe layers of 3mm acrylic between Aluminum



Had a play with some flat bar but this is a defo NO



You can see the Metallic Silver Powder Coating now but I am not 100% happy and its is going into the acid bath and getting re done ( The apprentice did after his A1 job on a other Case he was allowed to do these panels).




Here is an example of why the powder is to be re done



The finish is great 90% over and it does have a nice shimmer



Hardware will be changed again with Skylake next month but the layout is the same ..









The EK CPU block's spare mounting screws being used as Risers ..




Next like fate joined them I know this case and the board I am going to use are made for each other..




So I am now off to carry on with my other projects as I55 is getting close so bye for now ..
