    Scratch build: Israfel

    Special thanks to Koolance, Sapphire, AMD, and Corsair for providing hardware.



























    These shots are unedited so they aren't very pretty--just made an automated batch in PS for the resize.

    All 55 of the high-res photos can be viewed from the album. If anyone is interested I can post some WIP shots.

    Thanks for looking!

    I should mention that unlike my past couple mods, the etchings were done with a laser. I cheated for the sake of time on this one. Panels were cut using conventional power tools and details were done with laser.

    Wow, I'm impressed. I love the detail work like the sapphire and amd logos on the characters on the front of the case. The colors are great and everything blends together really well.

    AMD logos look BEAUTIFUL!
    Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.

    Just saw this in CPU magazine. I didn't realize that cool ice sculpture you made was actually an anti-cyclone piece for the res.

    Yeah, the first res I made to test the system with just was a giant cyclone machine.

    I wanted a reservoir that was part waterfall, and part tank so the top 10" is a bit empty and the water pours down and scatters on the sides, and at about 12" (from the top) the sculpture starts and breaks the water. It runs down for two more inches and the rest is just a tank.

    Thanks for looking!

    I liked the build , the reservoir is crazy man, i dislike too much marketing in the case front , side panel etç , the case build itself should be enough to show the brands value
