Front analog control panel part done. Everything working fine. RPM meter is displaying fan RPM. Under 5000 RPM meter displays accurate fan RPM, but above that it starts showing higher values of RPM.. some fine tuning in Arduino code will solve the issue.

Slowly pushing the build towards its completion. Installing VGA water block on both graphic cards.
Test fitting, everything looks nice so fare.

Making of liquid channel plate from sheets of acrylic. Cutting, drilling and then threading holes for compression fitting installation.
Now water channel is cut out from a 12mm thick acrylic sheet and everything is fused together with acrylic cement and installed inside the case.

I wish I could like this several times over! The detailing is hardon inducing. Gadget porn at its best. Loved the build. I would also love to see what the other blokes are doing with the same! When is this due for submission? You are doing a stellar job! Where are you from? and if I may ask, what do you do for a living?
No CNC here. Hand cutting and filling. for bonding them together i used acrylic cement .. can buy easily at any hardware store.
Thanks for more detail about the Competition you can visit http://community.thermaltake.com/index.php?/forum/77-2016-thermaltake-casemod-invitational-season-2/
As per my self, I live in Jodhpur and a full time software developer. Do modding and reviews as hobby ..
But..but how did you cut the water channel by hand?plz share this..
It's easy, draw your design or layout on acrylic sheet (use A4 size sticker sheet with layout printed on) , drill a small hole in inner perimeter, now use wire saw and slowly cut on the outline .. Finish with filling down to the required shape.
Have you ever considered making this a business? I mean there are several companies, especially in the UK which make awesome, customised builds and sell them for a premium. I am sure there is a market for something like that, however, limited, in India too. Just a thought. I am guessing Phoenix would agree with me on this.
This here (https://www.scan.co.uk/shops/drwho/tardis) has been one of my all time favourites, even though I haven't watched a single Dr.Who episode.
it won't work,Been there,Planned it,
Think for 15 minutes and you will know it's a bad idea,
Multiple factors -
1)Indian component prices are too high,you can't liquid cool below a 1070 or a rx480 crossfire
Also i5 6600k and i7 6700k for processor.
These things are 70k here but 35k in U.S
plus Waterblocks are 10k extra,add to it Indian customs and we reach 15k.
This leaves No profit margin,in U.S 200 margin on a 1000 build is not a big deal.
2)Lack of overclocking,liquid cooling warranty,
If the pc leaks,I am liable to replace the parts But HOW? Buying new stuff is Not an option.
We can build a pc for ourself,because we spend months,import parts and Solve problems ourself.
I did build liquid cooling pcs for my friends n family,I am willing to help build a pc for any fellow member.
not saying it's not possible, I may be able to make some money out by making expensive pcs,but a full blown business At the movement,I don't think so.

I understand, but then, that is not always how a business works. You are correct about the replacement parts and all, agreed, but as far as the equipment water blocks etc are concerned, either we try and source it from there or price them higher. Like custom made bullets and harleys. I am certain there will be a niche market. I am not talking about a huuge market, but a nice one, definitely.
Also, we should not be hijacking Rakesh's thread. We should discuss this elsewhere, what say?
Sure,mods will be pissed,
Starting new thread,need volunteers and advice on dealing with rich clients and satisfying there demands.
Start a new thread about it and tag me if u want to discuss further

At last PETG tubes installation done. It was easy and perfect.
Yellow transparent side panels cut down to proper dimensions, look great.
Still cutting marks are visible on side and edges, will be polishing for proper finish.
