[MNPCTech] Project: Rebel Alliance CMII

[theclash]

The bezel looks great, nice job! I like how you kept some of the aluminum raw too.

[Bill Owen]

Thank you theclash! ...btw, I saw the Clash perform their last concert here... forgetting year tho... late 80s


It sounds like the vandal switches won't be arriving on time for us to install the bezel this weekend, so we'll have to wait till next week for that. This weekend we'll be working connecting all of the fans and PSU cable management

Here is some screen shots from footage Andrew and I recorded while working on Part4 of "Rebel A" video.. this was few days before we painted the bezel.

In the workshop with Andrew yesterday, the bulgin switches were shipped late, and won't arrive on time to mount the bezel permanently. Andrew made more headway on CPU loop while I cable tied PSU cables into crevices. We were so focused, didn't grab a lot of photos, but I will scan for screen shots later while editing video. Andrew took this pic of the bezel temporarily mounted, without the fans.... until the switches arrive this week.

More progress photos while Andrew finished the CPU Loop on Sunday.

[Bill Owen]

Thank you Buckeye! .... we started the cable management today and installation of RGB LED strips, and will post photos soon!

[Bill Owen]

Andrew ordered 3x 780 EVGA Classifieds yesterday, we're back on track

We're installing Bitfenix Alchemy & Phoyba RGB LED Strips, we started installation yesterday while recording video, I grabbed a couple stills while focusing primarily on tidying wires and cables behind the motherboard...

Andrew is fine tuning the Cooler master Cosmos II we've modified, and should start posting Bench marks soon, here is some pics from this morning.

[Bill Owen]

At Radar Studios for photo session, I'll share more pics soon!

Who is the lucky owner? Should be an absolute beast of a rig for many years

[Bill Owen]

[Bill Owen]

More "behind the scenes" pics of the photo session at radar studios in minneapolis, and I asked Andrew to share his bench marks when he has chance...

[Bill Owen]

Thanks to everyone for their support and comments throughout this project.. I will see you soon, with next one!

The "Rebel A" PC

[Bill Owen]

btw, that rampage motherboard is amazingly resilient, considering our juggling and tossing it around the room with all of the EK components..lol

[UrbanSmooth]

WOW!! This build is looking very clean and futuristic!

[Bill Owen]

Thank you for the nice comment UrbanSmooth!

[Bill Owen]
