One of your previous posts inferred that you were in the business...

Just drafting for a number of years..., as a free-lance, mostly. Lost all my work in a flood some years ago!
Couldn't do it now though, my eyes are shot!

Nope, can't say I ever have!

my modest setup, with the mic stand made at home from pvc pipes.

I made a skeleton box from PVC, then covered it in those light weight blankets from Walmart. It's Gracie's (dog) warming cave.

Don't be too dissapointed by my build as it was designed by me to be quiet when sat next to it & most of the cables were crimped & soldered together by me.

The PSU fan, the 230mm fan & the 80mm front extraction fans are all connected to my home made fans speed controller (not shown) & they are fed around the PC by the un-used 3.3v pin on the modular cable system. THe only problem I have had is those flaming wire frames that hold the fans on the CPU cooler, I must change that at some point too!

This 2nd picture shows the XFX 5700 XT Thicc III & the fans will spin @3,500 ish (too loud)

This is a closeup of the X570 mod

This is a wide view of the case, this is getting old now & done too many mods to the case so it needs re-building this year to a case were the cables are behind so you can not see any. THe glue gun blob on the 230mm fan is covering the rubber bung which get opened every 6 months for re-greasing, fan is now 11 years old & working perfect (touch wood).

This is an image of the eSata ports "Glue-Gunned" into XLR Chassis for eay connection of my external storage system.

From my point of view I find making this stuff very interesting & the more I do it the better I get at it.

I didn't see a photo of it in action (case lid closed).
Did you make your own case?

I really admire your creativity and wiring wizardry.
In any PC build, 80% of the attention always goes to cable management and 20% for setup and creativity. So while working on your creativity, pay more attention to cable management to get a 100% score. :) The only caveat is you have to invest on modular PSU to achieve a good cable management.
It would be nice if you fill up your PC specs as well. :wink:

I watercooled my system once back in 2016 when I first got my Deepcool Genome case with built-in helical reservoir.

Then I got tired of it and went back to air cooling. Still using the same case though. From i7-4790k to AMD Ryzen 9 3900X.

This is the front & back views, case inside is lined with aluminium glued to the 3/4" mdf.

Here is my new PC with an Intel i9 13900K CPU and an Asus ProArt Z790 Creator motherboard. This the first time I've used and AIO cooler. Very pleased with how efficient the Corsair AIO is.

Anyone who has been following my thread over on the BSOD sub forum will know this PC had a difficult birth with many catastrophic BSODs. The issue was faulty DDR5 ram.

The full specs can be found by clicking My Computers below.
