Hi,
So this is my new Project for the Cooler Master mod competiton. I still have a bit to design but will start fabricating soon.
It's called Project Duplex and will be a two faced case.
-On one side the motherboard, on the otherside a GPU and ssd's.
-Two seperate loops with a 240radiator each.
- WIll be made out of aluminum and acrylic
- Most of the watercooling will be hidden
Fabricating will start soon!

So been crazy busy trying to get as much done as possible. The Cooler Master mod contest ends on the 31st so i am freaking out a bit right now 🙂
have had a lot of parts lying around for a while now but thought it was time to upload some photos.
Ever since i saw the Maximus Vi Formula i knew this was the board for my next computer. I generally don't like "naked" pcb's so this is perfect for me!
A lot of accessories.
Just sexy, great color scheme and as a bonus its ready to be water cooled!
Even has a backplate, this just keeps getting better and better!
Next up GPU, decided on a GTX 780 since i seem to have no time for gaming anymore. Still there is nice to have some power when i need it.
Even the inner box looks great
Awesome, almost a shame to water cool this.
Great looking backplate, won't be seen though due to the way it will be mounted
Have always wanted an I7 since i do use Solidworks quite a lot. Never could justify to buy one. This time i just bought it and didn't think about the cost
I had 16Gb of platinum ram from before. Bought another pack just for the looks. Won't really need 32gb but it does make the case look better. And some light bars.
For some reason the old ones does not look like the new ones. The old ones still have milling marks and are slightly shiny. The new ones looks like they have been blasted with some media. Lucky i bought the light bars.
So on to the case
Made some fixtures to hold the reservoirs in place. Took a while before i figured out how to do it.
The circle pattern didn't really fit the shape of the case so i decided to make my own front. Not sure if i will sand it down to make it a bit more matte. Still need to countersink all the holes.
Lowered the led strips into the acrylic. Since the sheet aluminum is lowered 2mm from the other side and the leds need about 2.4mm depth there is only 1,6 mm left of material in the middle. Was a bit worried that the light wouldn't spread out to the edges but seems to be working just fine. Won't show you that just yet.
Made some adapters for the lamptron controllers so it will attach to the sheet metal.
This is how its now, still a lot to do and not much time left but all the acrylic and sheet metal is sanded down now and fits great.
And a bit of bonus content,
obviously it won't fit in the computer but i do have a different plan once the case is done.
Great looking piece!
Will add more photos of it once i get it up and running, will be a bit later as i need to focus on the computer right now
Next update before the competition ends !

Is there any chance of obtaining the solidworks files used to produce that PCI-E cover? Looks trippy as and would like one really badly for my own PC motherboard. Also, what PCI-E riser did you use? Been eyeing some 3M ones, but theyre $110 AUD each ~_~
Quick update before the competition ends!
Got all bit painted so started assembling pieces
Frame
Pumps and psu support
Lamptron controllers, had these from the old rig so was easy to make new mounts for it.
GTX 780
Test fit
