Hey there, I am working on a new scratch build named "Venus". I started gathering parts and pieces about a month ago and finally have some pictures and video to show you.

I chose the name because both Venus and Copper have the same Alchemy symbol and there is sort of a relation there. Also Venus is the Goddess of beauty. I am hoping this creation of mine which is a total scratch build will be beautiful.

The whole case frame is being made out of 1" copper pipe and fittings. All the 1" copper pipe will be polished to a mirror finish and then sealed to prevent the copper from discoloring. All the panels will be made out of 1/4 aluminum sheet that will be powder coated candy apple red. All the watercooling lines inside will be hard copper lines polished as well. There are going to be other copper highlights too throughout the case.

I have a few sponsors to thank before I start uploading pictures.

First of all I would like to thank Enermax for providing 26 UCUR12-R fans and 2 EMR1500EWT 1500 Watt power supplies.

This next picture is going to be one of the two front pillars which will have a water bubbler in each and will not be a part of the watercooling loop. Basically its just for show. There will be identical reservoirs inside the case that will be a part of the loop.

Digging the copper tubing. What is steampunk to some is years of shining the brass in the engine room for me; I have a special appreciation for some fine looking pipes.
 
I am working like crazy right now.... Working 10 days in a row... Leaving my House @ 7 am and getting home at 7 pm. Then I get Thanksgiving off and work another 10 days in a row.

Here is a little video to tide you guys over till I get back to this.

The Madness Continues....

Sorry for slow updates. We are going to Hawaii in June so all my extra play money has been going towards that for the past 2 months.

Got a new sponsor on board. Gotta give a shout out to Jeremy from Crucial for the 2 MX 500GB SSD's and 32 GB DDR4-2666 memory.
