wow Hukkel,
very nice i love the colors of the sleeves and the GPU-Backplate is awesome!
tnx for the big picture-update.
My please and thank you for commenting on it. Good to see you're enjoying it.
Super cool photos. The waiting was definitly worth it
Thanks a lot man, means a lot really.
WOW, I really like your mod and the GPU-backplate is simply awesome
The colors are also cool as most people seem to use blue or red
By the way do you plan to add any lights ???
Thank you very much Nick.
The orange fans are led fans, there will be an illuminated midplate (coming to an update near you soon!) and the waterblocks will have 3mm leds in them.
I'm sorry but the GPU-Backplate is the only thing I don't like about your mod. But the rest is just awesome
haha no problem Kununa, each to his own. Thankfully we all like different things. That is why so many great builds are out there that all look different.
YOU're a genious that looks so nice, RESPECT
That is too much credit for me Balthar
But thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you will like all future updates as well.
Thanks everyone for asking for updates now and then. It really makes me want to put in the effort to upload all photos to this site again and give you the updates.
Alright a small update now. It is so nice and sunny outside I am not doing multiple updates now. Maybe tomorrow
These are renders of some additional custom panels I designed and got made by Ricardo from ColdZero International - Coldzero . He is amazing with plexi.

Very well done. The logo on the back panel looks so perfect, I like it.
Cant wait to see it finished
Do u plan to get a watercooler for your motherboard as well?
I've seen a nice vid on youtube, in which this motherboard gets an awesome looking block with orange cf on it. Check it out

Hi Erik, no I don't plan to get a waterblock for the motherboard. It kind of removes the entire orange theme from the motherboard. Plus it is not really needed as those parts hardly get hot. If EKWB had created a very nice nickel-plexi version I would have thought about it. But the XSPC block isn't really that appealing to me.
Very nice
Thank you Kununa
Well done!
Thanks keinnick.
I am going to try and do one or two updates today or tomorrow.
Today was the big day. The parts arrived! I couldn't wait to go home and open up the box.
Just to make it clear; this box is for TIM. And that's me
The lot
One illuminated midplate. I still need to make the holes in there. Forgot to ask him that
The rear panel.
The 5,25 bay side cover with lightbox behind the gfx.
The mobo tray extension plate customised for the Gigabyte Z77X-UP7.
A spare top grill parts because I cracked the original one because I am super clumsy
The lightbox on the rear of the bay side cover.
Couple of rear panel shots.

I hope I can start putting it together asap. Start tomorrow preferably.
I still need one waterblock but that should be arranged very soon.
I have to thank Ricardo again for these AMAZING parts
Seriously man the craftmanship on these parts is second to none. You are a plexiglass wizard. I am honoured to have you on my side for this project.

Looks so damn good. Awesome work as always
Thank you Balthar. Thanks for keeping track of this buildlog!

Update time brethern
Today I FINALLY received a package that is the start of that phase. Because of the size of the rear panel lightbox it needs to be dissassembled to fit or lose a gfx card. Not really feel like doing that a lot. So now I have my 2nd waterblock I can go all out A waterblock, a bunch of cable holders and a Bitspower tab (good Lord are those expensive &@%^@^#%*).
I need the previously bought (used) EVGA GTX670. Tested by myself during quite some hours of folding@home and good to use.
I initially wanted to buy a KFA2 (duh) but I just needed to know if KFA2 changed the reference design PCB or if XSPC just makes lousy fitting waterblocks. I'm about to find out!
Also I feel it is time for me to show you the 2nd backplate Ricardo created for me to fit the theme. I have had it laying around since the showing of the first one. But wanted to save showing it untill now. Design wise this time no brand, just blending with the theme for now. Another toppiece if I may say so myself. here are the pictures
Now I am going to have fun building it, hopefully get pictures of that VERY soon.
See ya!
Thanks AGAIN Ricardo. Awesome piece of work. No other way of saying it. "The pleximaster" strikes again!

I ask of you. Mr. XSPC. Is it reallt THAT hard to make a waterblock that fits gfx card with a reference PCB? Is it really that hard? Since, you know, it is your core business and all.
I have tried fitting two blocks on two different brand reference PCb gfx cards. And both give me different issues fitting it. I bet if I go and order blocks from EKWB or Aquacomputer it will fit like a glove on both cards no questions asked. As you can see in the following pictures the orange outlined hight is now an issue. This makes the block not touching the PCB and parts on that side. Look at it. I have the thermal pads fitted and you can look right through there, there is like another 1-2mm room between it. I will have to dremel the crevas deeper into the plexi. Either that or do it with a drill on a stand hoping to do a small bit of CNC work myself on it. Man oh man what an ill-designed waterblocks are these. So beautiful, yet so ill-fitting. #RANT!!!
