Computer Builds
Working as a 3D artist I needed processing power. This was essentially an excuse for me to pursue my passion for building and overclocking computers.
I even joined an Australian group called I4memory and competed on HWBot benching competitions.
For daily requirements the process involved building, and a combination of configuring bios settings (voltages, memory timings etc), stress testing and bench-marking.
Commando
My first custom loop build back in 2007 using swiftech components. I can't be sure, but I believe this was an intel Q6600 build.
Software: Not Applicable
Year: 2007
Lian-Li case mod
This was a Vapochill LS sub-zero phase change build. I modded the Lian-li case to allow for water-cooling the GPU.
Software: Not Applicable

Vapochill Close Up 01
The build consisted of a Rampage Extreme, QX9650@4.5ghz and a vmodded 9800 GX2 gpu.

Vapochill Close Up 02
The was a messy build that required prepping the motherboard first with dielectic grease. The cpu socket was then insulated with neoprene to protect from condensation.

Vapochill Case Shot
The bottom section is the vapochill ls unit. Using liquid gas, condensors and an evaporator it cooled my QX9650 to -50c idle and about -15c full load.

EVGA and EK Liquid Cooling
Albeit dated by today's standards a slightly more refined build with EK water cooling. A water-cooled EVGA motherboard, the GPU this time is a v-modded 4870x2 with nickel water block.

Volt modded Ati 4870x2
This was a tidier build and my first foray into sleeving my own cables. The two small blue blocks on the top of the graphics card are variable resistors I soldered to the Vgpu and Mem points for overclocking.
Software: Not Applicable

TJ-07 Cable Management
The silverstone TJ-07 didn't have the required access I needed for the cpu rear bracket and cable management. With my trusty dremel and various files I made my own.
Software: Not Applicable
Year: 2011
Micro-ATX Build
I wanted something more compact this time, so went for a maxmus gene VIII micro atx build.
Software: Not Applicable
Year: 2015
i7-6700k and GTX 970
This took some planning due to the smaller case. Cooling was simplifed with an all-in-one corsair unit.
