[upsnef]

Story of the build:

some weeks ago, a great person at Asus contacted and asked me if I want to do a build for the Asus suite at CES show in Las Vegas
around the new Maximus VIII Formula, for sure I said yes immediately,

they told me to do everything I want except, if I'm able , show the most I can of the motherboard

at same time some idea appears in my head,
want it simple but really clean and want it clear its a ROG build but don't want to put stickers everywhere,

and they ask me if I can make a something about the 10th anniversary of the brand and they sent me the logo

fit perfectly to the idea

I asked to Parvum System, EKWB and Darkside if they want jump in the project and no hesitation,
they accepted right away, and some day later, Corsair join the group

want to say Thanks to all, Asus ROG, Corsair, Parvum, Darkside and EKWB for their help, its so much appreciate

now

I tried some to add something to SSD and GPU












and finally use same design as the SSD to keep it simple and clean





now, the motherboard, Radiator and reservoir test fit
need to plan how I will install the GPU







and this is where I made the fil port

I shipped the build last week to be sure it was not late for the CES2016 at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas
they received it and no bad news, it seem the build was delivered in one piece

packed in triple layer of very thick cardboard box,
with 2" high density grey anti static foam on each side
and I added another thick cardboard corner just to be sure,
generally I use Pelican case but i was to late to order one and have it in time





now , Final photos





I love how Asus did the lightning on the Armor, very Great

Hi upsnef,

ever since one of the greatest "DEVIL'S EYE " designs I have ever seen.

I am also planing to build such a design and therefore I was wondering how you made your water flow loop. I cannot identify it completely on the pictures. I don't really understand how the water is coming out of the GPU/CPU infinity loop (Which looks really astonishing).

Can you maybe share a sketch or something of the water loop or a water flow circuit or something?  

Thank you very much in advance!

PS: I am appreciating each support or clarification
