Ahhh it's so beautiful :'). If I had the money, the time and the skill right now...
I think a simple watercooling loop when I put together my new build will be enough. Maybe in a few years time I will be as clever (and insane) as you to do something like this
.
Keep it up man, subbed!

Wow, this looks awesome! I can't wait to see the final product
Quick question: What is the gooey looking stuff on the motherboard in this picture?
Sperm whale samples. Just kidding!
It is anti-condensation protection as that was a sub-zero liquid build. The material was dragon skin:

or what I like to call "Ectoplasm".
On another note, I just finished my custom reinforced 7 foot stainless steel desk to hold my monster display setup. I stood on this right in the middle on one of my feet (180lb) and it didn't even flex a hair.
Welding stainless steel is harder than you think! (just kidding). Time for the old glass desk to go!

So the gadget show already made a 3x FW900 portrait, no bezel gap, seamless Fresnel lens, Ivy Bridge, Quad Kepler, three user select-able cooling loop (Ambient, phase-change, Geothermal), gaming computer!
Those ********, I was suppose to be the first!
I think you have too much time on your hands.... you can come round and mow my lawns if you like?

I don't think he's mexican..
Does anyone have experience working with any of these materials: acrylic, polycarbonate, CR-39 or polyurethane? I have contacted my Fresnel lens manufacturer to see if he could tell me what material they are. I am interested in trimming them to fit my display setup perfectly. Curious if the "score and snap" method would work or is cutting involved.
The stainless steel desk has exceeded my expectations in both looks and strength. Really high quality. This thing will last a lifetime.
Just a quick look at a Fresnel lens in front of a FW900 during testing. The 22.6" view-able appears to be around a 26-27" with the lens:

those crystal speakers looks very heavy
cant wait for the project to be completed

They are not too bad, maybe about 7 pounds each.
I've just read this new article and it appears nVidia won't let 1155 do Quad-SLI:
http://vr-zone.com/articles/detailed-hands-on-pictures-of-gigabyte-s-g1.sniper-3/15100-2.html
So that means I'll have to go with X79 for Quad-SLI using single GPU cards or get two dual GPU Kepler like the GTX 690/790 whatever they are going to call it. If nVidia fixed the power problem on the new dual cards, if I water cool them I might get 95% of the performance for half the cost. We shall see. So maybe my X79 water block diagram was a prophecy!
I'd be more comfortable jumping into X79 if I knew there was a guarantee and not just rumors about Ivy Bridge-E fully supporting X79.
Seeing as your going eyeinfinity wouldnt it be better to keep the 7970's you had ?
Already its looking epic
AMD cards cannot run 3x FW900 CRT's. Anyways, in the past I have found nVidia to work Surround better. Higher quality drivers and less stuttering.
True i do perfer nvida wish they wernt so late to the party 
one more question.... all them pictures i get what they are all for apart from one .....
The one with the monstor holesaw and coke can ?

Ah Vega has returned to the internets ([H] User as well). You never disappoint! 
) to make a seamless triple screen setup by just using 3 beamers and aligning them?
There is about a million reasons why the answer is no.
I've looked into it thoroughly.

With the amount of money and resources you have, I'd have opted for multiple projectors instead of those bulky CRTs.
Picture quality would be no where in the same league though
