DESTINY
Meet DESTINY
Where to go? What brings the future? What will bring pleasure? There is a path to Your destiny and I walked mine to a new custom PC build.
With my about two generations old HTPC the fan noises started to annoy me. Something silent and powerful hat to be made. So in November 2020 I started to build a new gaming rig.
- It should be big
- It should be silent
- It should be powerful
- It should be unique
And so My way to DESTINY started.
Back when the Tristellar case from deepcool came to the market I was intrigued by the unique but clean design. As it happened, the following case Quadstellar was on sale and I was lost to the massive Design.
With focus on two internals loops for maximum cooling the modding of the case took some interesting dimensions. All four compartments are dedicated for big radiators and an massive cooling flow. The 45° orientation of the mainboard and the GPU tray did not help for pump placement. Special inclined pedestals out of carbon fiber are made to position the two spherical reservoirs as focal point of the design. Creating the 13 individual and quite complex shaped hard tubes was fun but very wasteful, two thirds of the tubes made ended up in the bin. DESTINY needed wiring. Lots of it. All wires are custom sleeved and neatly arranged to the various power pints. Deepening the Sci-Fi drone theme.
The build was fun and it shows lots of potential in computing power. See in the updates log for more info about the build and the performance.
