really sweet stuf you got there

Also love the photography skills

Thanks, nigelke! I'm glad that you guys are enjoying the pictures as I enjoy taking them.

Superb as always... I'm running out of words here.

Much appreciated, ding. Little by little we're getting there. Hopefully it'll happen before you run out of words.

beautiful
what else to say

Thanks, illidan! And thanks for experimenting with the caps. I plan to try the same thing as it may be easier than polishing down to the aluminum.

Wow men, nice shot you got there!!!! It´s going to be great when you finish the work.

PS: Do you recive my PM?

Thanks, Sharko. I replied.

amazing! cant wait!

Thanks, Mabyboi! Your continued support is much appreciated.

Very nice!

Thanks, Shazza!

please stop the pictures i almost drooled on the school computer

Hehe.

Your new EVGA motherboard certainly fits in with your planned colour scheme. The clear CPU block and your new full cover chipset block will look great together. Looking forward to seeing them all on and tubing fitted. I take it you are going to polish the caps on your new board too. Looking great as always

Thanks, Red! I agree.. this board really looks as if it were made for my components. The color scheme matches beautifully.

And yes, I'll most likely be polishing the caps on this one as well.

Love the new board, definitely liking it with this build much more than the Foxconn.

Yeah, no more red. The red clashed terribly.

*the usual*



You need to polish the caps on the GPUs too!

Wezly...

These 5970s are the cost of about 7 of these eVGA motherboards. Although polished caps would look beautiful on the 5970s, I'm not sure I'm willing to risk that one since it voids the warranty. I have to draw the line somewhere.

you, sir are a wonder with a camera! and the stuff on the pictures is siiick the zero gravity chamber is going to be wicked awsome! i want more assembly shots:P

Thanks, mate! More assembly shots.. gotcha. I should have some of those over the weekend as I'll be heading to my new workshop tomorrow to do some fab work.

It took a couple of days but I made it through the whole thread.
Absolutely Amazing!
Amazing Concept.
Amazing Rendering.
Amazing Salesmanship.
Amazing Descriptions.
Amazing Craftsmanship.
Did I miss anything?
I would suggest checking your lighting ideas for the Zero-G Chamber as the perplex is quite reflective and later changes might be hard.

Civilian:

Thank you very much for the wonderful compliments. They are much appreciated.

The chamber will be well illuminated from the inside in a way that it should rid the perspex of reflections such as shown in the photos above. Reflections show on the perspex most when it's sitting at an angle, and the Zero Gravity Chamber is constructed in a way that you won't see the perspex at an angle too easily since it's framed by the windows.

Thank you for all the support, everyone. It inspires me to keep moving forward. The case frame will get a lot of work this weekend. I plan to tie up some loose ends like:

- Resolving that side panel latch problem (for those of you following since
the beginning when I pointed it out)
- Cutting a new floor and roof for the frame (I don't want any unnecessary
vents showing)
- Creating corner supports for the Zero-G chamber half of the case since
the drive cage/supports were removed
- Cutting/drilling the motherboard mount for cable management

Some other tasks that lie ahead before things are ready to go off to painting:

- Designing custom radboxes for both top and bottom MCR220s.
- Drilling the tube routing and cable routing holes into the Zero G Chamber

A lot of this is work that I haven't been able to do in my limited workspace. So now that I have a workshop, things should begin progressing quicker as we reach the home stretch of the build.

Before long, refleXion will become reality.
