Industrial Karnage V2.1
New pictures will be uploaded to show new hardware.
My personal rig.
This is my first time giving updates in a "blog" style, so bare with me lol...
This is the over the top modified INDUSTRIAL KARNAGE. Full #POWEREDbyAORUS BUILD.
E-ATX build on an ATX case. And modified at every turn.
First build where im hydro-dipping as much as possible, adding Kogs, and just having fun.
There is a fine line between STEAMPUNK and Industrial...and YES there will be LEDs, but only dark orange....
UPDATE:
SO she is complete. I will be uploading more pictures as i take them.
The build took over 120hrs collectively. Major contributors were
Killr_Modz: who helped design and made the custom acrylic panels and distro plate. He was also a good ear when i was bouncing ideas off him of what to do and what not to do for the design. He also created the full length custom cables...doin the exposed copper cables brings a sense of rawness to the build. He also made my external radiator holder, where my 240mm and 360mm are held.
JMMODS: They designed and made the gpu support bracket, and the ssd cover (not yet photographed)
This was a task i never expected tk be as large and complex as it turned out to be. From dipping the case, to adding small details only very few will notice. This was a build that far exceeded the vision i had in my head when this all started in NOV 2018.
What you dont see (lol and wont) is the inside of the case. For a large case this has a very restricting inside. So i used alot of soft tubing, this allowed me to navigate the cables and wiring as needed.
What you DONT see, is the external dual rads. I did this so that i can have 2 rads UNDER my desk with a small A/C unit blowing cold air on it to keep the coolant as cool as i can get it w/o buying a chiller.
Everything that can be modified on this case has been, from dipping the case, adding bulkheads, to chopping upool the back to hold a 2nd D5 pump and give me access to the internals.
This is an over the top rig, and i hope yall enjoy it.
