Evening fellow Carbies!

The time has finally come to create the build log for @ian_stagib's build!

As the chassis and theme are the main focus points of this build (besides the insane hardware this beast is running), the build is
dubbed 'Criterium', which is Dutch for Benchmark, as Phanteks is a dutch company, with the chassis being the Phatneks Enthoo Elite,
a chassis with some serious presence!

The theme is based on the 1967 Pontiac GTO, and the colour is the main focal point, getting the right colour was of utmost
importance, and I believe we nailed this one out of the park! :)

To give you all an idea of the car this build is based off, here's a pic of what it looks like :)

The hardware that will be in this build:

ASUS Rampage VI Extreme
Intel Core i9 7900x
2x GTX1080ti in SLI
Phanteks Enthoo Elite
Corsair AX1500i

Let's start with some sexy teasers...

Looking a little sexually frustrated 😤 with that colour??

Looking forward to seeing what this turns out to be. Great job so far peeps.
 
Update time!

So in order to keep the inside as clean as possible, I've decided to add in a black perspex plate, which will definitely give the clean aesthetic :)

A lot more to be done on this plate, but temporarily fitted the components to give an idea of how clean it can look...

There's just something elegant about copper blocks and dual GTX1080Ti's...

Also, a full exterior shot, man this colour just pops!

Hi everyone,

This has been such a delay on updating the final result (life happens, work etc. etc.), sorry about that.

Here's the final pics of this one of a kind monster...

Looks awesome. BTW, what is a ballpark figure for custom loop for a cpu and gpu? I have no idea where to start.

Depends on many factors but you can get some nice kits that will sort you out for your cpu, and then you just need to get a gpu block and two fittings. From there onwards you can expand on that with more / bigger radiators etc.

About 7-10K. It adds up really fast. rads, pumps, reservoirs, fitting , blocks ,mounts, tubing, coolant. and that's if you get some used parts. Specing out a full ek system is frightening
 
Hey @ian_stagib, I've been looking for Aqua Computer pumps and accessories for a long time but they don't ship to the republic. How'd you get your hands on those pump/res units?
