This build was for a client in Hawaii; as I'm based in Texas, I was both humbled and flattered he came to me for the build. He had chosen the case, a Lian Li O11 EVO RGB from Starforge Systems. This is their Jellyfish Crossing model; the design and anything external is entirely their work. While in an anime style, it's an original design not based on any show I can find. I can't overemphasize enough the quality of their case mods; I recommend checking them out at starforgesystems.com.

The interior work is all mine, including the white MSI 5080 Vanguard that MSI didn't know they made. The GPU was disassembled and painted, with the branding/logos replaced in colors that complemented the overall aesthetic. The dragons on the fan centers were transformed into jellyfish, and are much happier now. While the card was torn down I replaced the thermal paste with PTM7950.

I make all my own sleeved cables, which allowed me to match the colors of the case. This also cleans up cable management a lot. NZXT's new Core RGB fans helped with this as well - each fan unit only has one cable that connects to a controller.

Overall just a really fun build. Nice to get a chance to do something different.
