Guru3D Rig of the Month - December 2019
Guru3D Rig of the Month - November 2015

As Guru3D regular Hans Peder Sahl has built himself a PC worthy of being called, the “Engineering Station”. His build is intriguing in many ways and all about the design and liquid cooling. Well that and the coolant flow, check out the video to understand it. The end result, if you ask us is vastly impressive.

I like the design very much. But...
Please, just keep money and get Pascal top Card(s).

13. Do you have any future updates planned ?
Beside the 512 gb ssd, the only upgrade I have planned is to switch the power supply out for a hx100i, and then throw two titan x in the system to replace the two 980 TI´s.

Awesome build... really love the way you did the tube routing/res on the back - stunning.
And I feel your pain on the cabling, I spent hours and hours this summer making my own custom cables, although my "system" is no where near as neat as yours!
BTW - I've seen your hexgear cases on a few forums now, and in custompc - really good - I'm actually considering one for my next project which will be some time in the new year.

This might be Rig of the Decade (first 5 years anyway) for me. Great job!

Wow! Super awesome build. Love the bracket around the power connectors, so sick.

Brilliant use of case as a liquid reservoir, love the idea.

Amazing build. That's some real quality modding there. Congrats.
I thought the same as I believe everyone did, but it seems it not.
Quote from Page 4: "Another thing was the rear watercooling distributing plate. I have gotten a lot of people asking if it is a “reservoir” and it is not really. The system has an internal reservoir, and the rear block serves as a huge piece routing the fluid from one component to another. Instead of having all the tubing on the inside of the case."

Hmm I just noticed pope actually is a professional in casemodding and such things... Does this make his build a professional, or sponsored one?
So technically he as a pro goes up against hobby builders... hmm.

Besides that, I have my own company with a buddy, and fellow modder Nate George where we design and manufacture PC cases.

This is probably the best build I have ever seen on Guru3D! I really like how the reservoir is integrated as part of the case, and the build quality looks great. The only negative is the $7000 price tag, but I guess it is a one-off and all custom built - I guess if this design ever went on sale then it would be cheaper.

Looks really nice, clean build, excellent tubing and cable management. Love it.
Thanks man! Glad you like it.
I like the design very much. But...
Please, just keep money and get Pascal top Card(s).
I already got the two titan x´s. I know I would not really feel the performance that much, and am still undecided if I will do the upgrade.
That is gorgeous, well done to the person that built it
Thanks!
Who dosnt like red builds? hehe...
Very nice man.
Haha, I have never done a personal red build before, so I wanted to give it a try.
That is nice, real Nice!....Love the video.
Thanks man! Have you seen my previous one? You might like that as well
I cant post links, but just search for project NV on youtube

Thanks man! I actually first wanted to just do hard tubing on the rear side, but who does not like to overcomplicate things
I am glad that you like the case. A lot of thought and effort has gone into it

Thank you! Actually the rear is only a distributing plate, and does not actually function as a reservoir. That is what the internal reservoir/pump combo is for

Yeah, making one off parts are quite costly, and mainly why it has such a high price tag. Should you just want the components I think it is around 4/5000$

Obviously you didn't get what I mean, but still a nice build.

I understood what you meant. But I do not think it has any relevance.
When do you go from being a hobby builder to be a pro builder? To have something as a profession requires you to earn your living from it (at least this is the definition from various dictionaries). I, like most other people, mod because I think it is fun.
I made the mod in my free time, by myself, for myself, so why should I not go up against other people, who make their mods in their free time by themself?
Regarding sponsored parts, I like to think that people does not think this is a cool mod because of expensive parts, but because of the looks. I could have put a 2500K and two gtx 580 cards in there, and have the exact same look.
