Reason v1
Inspired by the over-the-top nuclear powered rail gun in Neal Stephenson's book Snow Crash.
Ultima Ratio Regum, "the last argument of kings".
I started this build almost 2 years ago, but its still going strong. My goal was for an industrial nuclear glow orange look.
Build Highlights:
The hardest part:
I made, sleeved and terminated all the power cables. All the cables were then hand cable-laced. This was tedious, but I'm very happy with the clean results, but if I had to do it again I'd probably just buy the sleeved cable-mods![Emoji]()
Ultima Ratio Regum, "the last argument of kings".
I started this build almost 2 years ago, but its still going strong. My goal was for an industrial nuclear glow orange look.
Build Highlights:
- Top handles for industrial module look.
- Aluminium diamond plate to delete the front panel plugs and back panel trim.
- Black allen head screws.
- Painted highlights (radiator, reservoir, brackets, washers) to tie in with the nuclear orange theme.
- Custom built bracket with a covered heavy duty toggle switch for power.
- i7-7700k overclocked to 5GHz (stable with prime95 for 30 minutes). Required a de-lid and TIM replacement with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and a Rockit Cool Copper IHS.
- Custom sleeved and cable-laced power, usb, fan headers cables.
- Custom hard tube water-cooling loop.
