Project N.V.
Hello,
I know that this board is 98% used to post beautiful pictures of keyboards, etc but I thought I share my latest built up of my PC, where I use my fantastic boards with - as also some of the members here told me to show this built.
This built´s project name is called N.V.
The pc is mainly used for photo and video edeting and I use it for my job to use it with SQL server… so lots of power is needed.
It will run almost 24/ a day, and one oft he main goals was to run it very silent and still can overclock it nicly. For this reason I have choosen two seperate watercooling circles, with big radiators and lots of fans, to run the fans at very low rmp and have a very silent setup-
Case I decided to go with CaseLabs – modell TH10. This ist he most perfect case ever built and fantasic us built quality, with lots of space and modular setup.
I got lots of inspiration on severall forums and great contacts… through these contacts it happed that the built will be a joined work from poPe and E22 from Denmark and UK, that help to make this built a very unique setup with nice customizing.
I hope to get this done by end of april, …. So enjoy and hope you like it and looking forward to your feedback.
Also I need to thank EKWB, Corsair and Bitspower who are the sponsors of this built.

Well ... arrival of the TH package ... this thing is big :) And Hans girl friend fitted well into it :)
-
One of the main plans was to have a fully new style for a motherboard, and a top layer over the mainboard with an acrylic top. This top would also run two different water loops....
This is the first idea, on how it could possible look ...
-
First parts arrived, first coolers got assebled with the corsair fans.
-
First real update on the customizing,... Nate started to cnc the first plexi reservoir. Outcome is really beautiful ... this is a full custom piece.
-
Done and all polished up ...
-
Dude! This is looking like some amazing stuff!
-
Assembly of the extreme 11 board... with MIPS and EKWB cooler ...
-
EKWB pumps all assembled with bitspower fittings... and samsung SSD´s
-
Final scetch of the mainboard acrylic block before production ...
-
Looks sweet:)
-
Video on the cnc work of Nate for my blocks ...

You are crazy.
And I am insanely jealous.

This is looking amazing. I love Caselabs cases so this should have an awesome outcome.
-
Crazy system for a crazy case... Nice!
-
This is godlike. You should definitely get into the business of custom PC building if you haven't already.
-
This is a sweet build. I want to see some more teaser shots!
-
Little progress,...
-
Thank you very much for all the nice comments,... Updates soon :)
-
this blows my leviathan project out of water, literally.
bravo
LONG LIVE THE ENTHUSIAST PC!
-
Looks really nice, especially with all the custom CNC acrylic stuff. I bet total cost is astronomical for this build.
-
More details,....
-
Here is the first pics of my new mainboard... came out really nice.... HP did an amazing job!
-
Nerd porn
Holy **** i dont even want to know how much this will cost in total.. Wait i kinda do...
by the time its finished the parts will be obsolete! :( jkjk. Mind blown..
-
That's beautiful. Really, really beautiful.

Man, this is really coming out nice!

That acrylic top piece is something I've never seen before. Very cool; looks amazing compared to tubes running everywhere.

Check out the Bit-Tech modding forums. There are some amazing things like that that have been done. In one, someone made an acrylic top panel with channels like that that also doubled as a reservoir. I wish I remembered what the mod was called so I could link to it.
-
It is HP skills with E22!
-
Wow never seen this much attention to detail before in any build :D Very nice work dude, keep it up ;D
-
Quick question: are you editing in premiere pro?
If yes then u can't MPE with 3 gpus :(
Nice setup, tho. Love caselabs since day 1!
-
Looked up that motherboard, surprised it has such crappy reviews and that you're using it in a build of this caliber. Nice build though, thoroughly impressed.
-
holy crap the plumbing on this build is incredible. nice job man!

yeah ium curous to know why he went with a ASRock.. only thing really THAT special is the 4x x16.
-
Good lord. Someone knows what he/she is doing.
-
Wow. 3 680s!
Makes my 560ti seem... inadequate.
-
I love those Caselab cases.
Caselabs is about to release the Mercury S3.
So stoked.
-
Fluid in the mainboard... enjoy the picture :)

Agreed. You are a beautiful, but insane man. I love it!

HaHa, wait until you see the reservoir :)

This is insane.. I've been a part of computer forums for years and I've never seen something as well thought out and nice looking as this.
-
Is the boxed item in picture "NV02" up for trade?
-

I was thinking this as well. It's been years since I've seen a real original build.
I think I've watch that gif a million times now. ;D

This build is killer. I am assuming you are going with the milky white?
Have you considered the Meyhems Aurora coolants?

Edit: on second look, it looks more gold colored.
-
I vote for the orange in the middle!!!
-
I vote for one of Mayhem's Pastels. I've never particularly liked the look of their Aurora range.

I love the look of the pastels as well, but I was thinking more of how the pearl would swirl and flow with all the diverted flow of the res.
-
when its finished make sure you submit it to http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/
btw. what happens when the 700 series gpus come out?! XD they are coming soon!

I guess that would look pretty cool with the setup he's got.
-
The detail in this is incredible!
Either orange looks good though.
-
Way too over the top with the quad reservoir. Looks awesome if you're going to crystal link the whole system.
-
Bah. I was looking for info on how this machine had been built ... and then I find it in a forum where I am already active. :P
BTW. This video should have been posted in this thread:
