Description
Edit- Fixed the post formatting for readability
Edit2- The 2nd and 3rd image are new to show the RGB led strip added to the GPU block. I also topped off the res. The led strip was sleeved in silver and I cover the back in silver vinyl.
Concept:
A black and silver PC with purple accents through lighting and the case. I wanted to go all out with the modding and aesthetics. I built this because I wanted to make a lengthy project out of it. /Edit/ the name came from the anime Fate/Apocrypha, but that’s the only thing they share. I just clicked with the name, but the build isn’t themed after the show.
Usecase:
I do 3D modeling, sculpting, and some rendering in Blender/Maya/Zbrush, so the 8 core cpu and 1080ti work well for that. My fiancee also does gaming and regular PC stuff on it, so it works nicely for gaming as well.
Id like to give a huge shoutout and my thanks to Kevin J for the photos, and to Jeff H for doing the 3D printing for me!
Timeline:

1/18: The primochill Vue coolant caused massive damage to the loop. Those issues are documented on LTTs forums

Replaced the cable grommets right of the mobo with an aluminum bar to create new holes
Painted the corsair HD120 fan housings silver
Due to paint damage, I sanded all the paint off of the EK 360. Decided that I liked the bare aluminum so I didnt repaint it.

Created a cable hiding panel in the rear section
Sleeved the 24 pin, 8 + 8 pin, 8 + 4 pin, fan cables, lighting cables, etc.
Modeled and printed cable combs. Printed by Jeff again.
Added an Aquacomputer inline filter to the front of the case. Had it on hand so I added it. I know its not needed.
