[Case Gallery] Project Flow

This is one slick setup, 10/10 easy.
Love the design!

SSDs behind the 5.25" rails and under the PSU, optical is external because I never use an optical drive unless I am installing an old game, maybe once a month tops...
 
where did you take the pics at they look like something of a factory website. and what did that case start life as looks lian-li but all that aside good rig man. i like it cause it looks tough and elegant at the same time wich is a hard effect to capture.
 
i believe his father and him are someone skilled in the art of digital photography, they also have froom previous photo's in the build log for this, some sick as camera and a sick as photo station to take the picks on. i've seen magazines of really really nice pc's with shittier pictures
 
thankyou guys for the compliments, yes I have been apprenticing in photography with my father who is a professional since I was 10 y/o the shots are a mix between my pictures and his.

now I am at university studying electrical engineering :)

CPU Mag feature for winning the mod contest at the Nor'easter LAN - still might be on the cover for mad reader mod if I get selected

Plain fkn tops mate

Most professional build I have ever come across, hands down beating the likes of Alienware, sniff, brings tears to my eyes...
 
Above rim !!!

Excellent build in a league by it self. One question ... did i over look it or does it have optical drives?

genuine work of art

I signed up for this forum just to comment on this build so here it is: Holly cr*p! That is awesome! This is the first computer I have ever seen that I would consider a genuine work of art. There is obviously a lot of time and money in this rig (wouldn’t mind knowing if you want to share but I understand if you don’t). A couple questions?? Did that start out as a lian li case and where is the hard drive? Optical drive? When I figure out how to vote I will give it a 10/10 even though I think a point should be taken off for spending all that effort on a computer. Do you work on cars or something else that will be of value for more than 3 years? I would love to see what you can do with; say …. a motorcycle or custom built furniture.

A humble suggestion: next time just build your own case from scratch, its obvious you can do it very well. (did you do this one from scratch?) Perhaps make it something totally different than the standard “box” dare I say “think out of the box”
 
Glad to hear you like the computer man, I certainly consider it to be my work of art and not just a computer. I certainly could feasibly do better with the functional aspect if I had a few more hard drives but its not a dealbreaker for me having esata and all built into the mobo - The project was sponsored by lian-li and the case was originally a stock V2110b (see the full worklog in my sig for stock pictures and a lot more internal detail). As mentioned above the system has two SSDs tucked away under the PSU and behind the 5.25" rail

As far as cost goes I put about 700 hours into this build from design to finish and the final bill excluding free parts received from sponsorship was in the neighborhood of $4,000 USD.

I am an electrical engineering student entering my junior year of school, so no real craftsmanship in my career history, but I have always been a builder and good with my hands. This system was really built just for the love of modding and seeing something I thought up in my head come to reality in perfect form.

On the topic of new projects... I cant see any coming soon. I have a fully designed scratch build sitting in the computer here on Solidworks, but I do not have the funding nor desire to jump into that one anytime soon. Until I am out of school and steady in my career all foreseeable modding endeavors have to take a back seat.

I can promise though that on day in the next few years I will return in full force to bring a new creation to you, maybe I'll finally create a website for this hobby before that happens.

Good luck finishing school, and with getting the career going after. Careers are hard these days. My own career as an Architect (buildings, not IT, software, policies etc.) is currently going backwards due to family nepotism in the office I have been in for the last 12 years. It’s not likely I can get a job somewhere else in my line of work at the moment, so I have to stick it out a bit longer, but that is another story. I am sure your computer mod and all the accolades it has received will be an asset on your resume when the time comes.
 
love it but i'm not a fan of the case if i'm going to be perfectly honest, still, a worthy 10/10 :)
 
I love all of the haters on this case mod gallery XD

screams from the haters got a nice ring to it!

I rebuilt flow this past weekend, some pictures in the next few weekends once I get my VGA blocks for the new video cards.
 
You've reach a new level when people hate u because your personal skills are on a professional grade. Welcome to the elite class. At this level u don't blend in you create your own path and its rules. Apply the same mentality when u graduate and if there is no openings in the status quo..... create your own business/industry and them come to you. Still an execellent rig. Never stop dreaming or pushing the envelope.
