[Build Log] MetallicAcid's ROG Gene V Inspired TJ08-E

Awesome

I work as a lighting expert for various museum's artworks.

That's cool man, if you don't think that the window fits, than I appreciate your opinion

Cheers mate!! Welcome to the party!

Update

Test fitting the GPU backplate on my GTX780. Rev 2.0 is now ready for it's lighting upgrade

Notice in this picture, in the top right corner of the plate, where I have 2 screws. This is where I miscalculated the hole postition

With thanks to my sponsor Aquatuning!

I have not tested it yet, but I do not see why not. On the backside of the card I have glued Nylon 3mm spacers at each hole's location to raise the plate from the PCB

Cheers mate!!

Thank you

Thanks Fab! I have a red keyboard already, and the window is in the design process

The tubing is 10/12mm, and it was bent by inserting 6/10mm silicone tube into the acrylic pipe, and then heating with a heat gun until it was bendable. I formed the bends around my deodorant spray's can so that I did not get kinks on the inner radius of the bend.

Thanks everyone for the supportive comments

Sorry ante that I missed your question!

Since you love in Stockholm like I do, then getting what you need should be easy The fittings are Bitspower Crystal link C47, bought from Liontech.se in Spånga. The piping was bought from Nordbergs Tekniska in Vallentuna. 4m (2x2m) cost me 88kr with pick up. Super cheap if you can drive there and pick it up. And you will need silicone toning to insert into the pipe so it does not kink. This I have if you need.

I am sorry once again, and hope the info helps. Just shoot me a PM if you have any detailed questions

MetallicAcid

Cheers for the heads up. I am considering changing ram, but I think that the Ripjaws X are a bit "blingy". It will have to be a matt colour I think

Update

Well guys. The build is almost complete. I was able to install the LED's onto the GPU plate, and it fit perfectly. The Nylon spacers were a little too long though, as the backplate was touching the RAM clips and wouldn't go into the slot, so I had to file the Nylon spacers down 1.5mm. Not it fits perfectly, everything is now installed and managed, and I am in the process of taking finished build photos My build is also in the running to be July's MOTM here on CMC. If you like what I have achieved so far, then please vote for me

Here is a teaser:

Welcome to Part 2 of 2 of final pictures for the ROG V Gene TJ08-E. I hope that you enjoy the album, and hopefully you will be inspired to do you own modding. Please remember that this is just my second computer ever, and my first mod.

With thanks to my sponsor Aquatuning!

With a massive heartful thankyou,
MetallicAcid

Thank you for the kind words D0ez. I really tried to not overdo the details and make it look cheap. I am glad that you think that my PC mod isn't cheesy!

Hey guys and girls

I have created an account techpowerup.com, and have created a gallery for this build log. I wanted to see what everybody thinks this computer deserves out of a score of 10... So if you have an account, please throw me a vote

P.S. If I were to start another project, which case would you like to see me mod?

Of course you would say that But I want your Air 540 to shine, so maybe something else is what I need

I have not had enough time to send the silicone tube to you just yet, just so you know... I have late shifts for the rest of the week, but I'll try to make it to the post office before the weekend. If not, then I can definitely drop it off to a post office during the weekend when grocery shopping!

MetallicAcid

Ok cool! Well, if you had any more questions, just shoot me a PM.

MetallicAcid

Hey guys!!

I just wanted to say that I have created a Facebook fan page called MetallicAcid Customs, as well as joined instagram with the #metallicacidcustoms hashtag. I will be posting progress on current my projects, other projects which inspire me, in depth WIP shots, and links to "How-To" guides so you can achieve similar or better results that I achieve working onmy kitchen table

Hopefully see you there!
