Beautiful. Those brown cables really do set things off. I'm too obsessive for no combs but it does add to the organic feel. Also would have been skeptical of mixing brass and acrylic without seeing it but it's done beautifully. Excellent. Best of luck with that vue though. Keep an eye on that shit. Absolutely beautiful job though. Unique.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks! 2 months with Vue and no problems so far.

[@TheSickness]

Very nice loop, thanks for posting this. This will help me out a bunch, as I am still modding and planing out my loop in a original matx evolv. I wanted mine to run fairly parallel as well, not quite like yours but this definitely helps to visualize the 3D aspect of it. Great job

[@spektrumB]

The wood front panel is stunning. The whole build, I love it.

[@antosaba3]

Arguably the best build in ages! Thumbs up!

[@gerrycrisostomo6571]

One of the most beautiful design I have ever seen! You did an awesome build man...

[@raiscl]

Man!! That's the most beautiful PC I've ever seen. Congrats!! and the brown cables look wonderful in this color palette.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks!

[@Dracossaint]

Absolutely exquisitely stunning, wow this is actually art in my honest opinon. Damn

[@azozfs5330]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@andrewsherman8320]

This build is so cheeky! Great job!!

[@tomdavis4677]

Very well thought out loop, awesome job.

[@yucksuan]

This is absolutely beautiful!!

[@Lenticular67]

It is s terrific looking build! I love the blending of'natural' and industrial materials, and those cables are a great splash of color and help tie in the wood front panel. Well done!

[@Signaworks]

Thank you for giving me so much inspiration and eye candy, that's truly astonishing build! I've been thinking of implementing wood into my upcoming mITX project for a few months now and I guess I was subconsciously influenced by this project's teaser video in the first place :D

[@Smedleydog1]

I just stumbled onto this channel from a web search on Acrylic vs PETG tubing. This has to be one of the most beautiful builds that I have ever seen.

[@Thwompcrew]

This has to be the most inspiring and beautiful pc I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine the hours put into making this but hope to be able to make something this aesthetically pleasing one day. Two thumbs up!

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks man!

[@Randomlosername]

This is stunning.

[@drekoll]

She is a Beauty! Has the sophisticated look of what you would expect in an Executive's Suite. Well done!

[@akarna69]

Looks awesome, good job man.

[@JessicaSeverin]

absolutely inspiring! I love everything about this build and I think I will use some of your ideas in my next loop. And I love the mix of acrylic and silvered brass tubes with fittings. And in this case the organic brown non-combed cables work perfectly.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks!

[@brutalmajor]

Amazing job!

[@Sarius59231]

It's a masterpiece. Love it !!!

[@TechHippie]

Absolutely stunning. I think Clint from Lazy Game Reviews would very much approve.

[@ccgert]

The name captures the look of this PC perfectly. Awesome job. I hope to see it in person at the LAN in April.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

You will!

[@MichaelBassVideos]

Classy and tasteful. Taste and class are often completely absent from people's builds. Not here! Looks great!

[@MrJesseforsell]

That is beautiful! I would love to build something like this! And the vue looks awesome. Good job!

[@Acenis]

mesmerising

[@Moriarty2007]

Realy nice!

[@TechMaxTV1]

Looks awesome man! Great job!

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks!

[@jetcity7156]

Exquisite!

[@caitlinV3]

Beautiful build and loved the intro!!

[@v.aesthetic3764]

+caitlinV3 Thanks!

[@wardope]

this is amazing.

[@arfullum04]

You killed bro!! Piece of art

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks!

[@zachary_smith1]

man i really love this. wood is beautiful. more people need to adopt different materials. take from interior design or architecture. oh and the movement of the vue looks amazing when res is sideways. moves nicely in there like that

[@WayzenTech]

very very nice; I love it

[@freeseur]

Most beauty if ever See.. 😍

[@megapet777]

Beautiful PC

[@desmofan1864]

me too! I thought I was the only one who liked slightly more 'organic' looking cables. I was never a big fan of perfectly combed cables. reminds me of those old ribbons from way back xD

[@DaGn0528]

You sir just got a sub :D Perfection

[@massivemikeh]

Vuurry Nyyyce maate! That wood tho....luvly jubly.

[@decemberelf]

Gorgeous! I too went with Corsair Dominator RAM with my silver Enthoo Evolv mATX case. `Cuz how couldn't I, right? Amazing looking case that is.

[@oliverrowe8648]

Beautiful build!! love the tubing, is the back plate on the gpu a mirror?.. Should look at modifing the top panel, if you take off the front and top panel temps drop pretty significantly...

[@adrianocosta1214]

WOW! first video Im seeing from you instantly subbed

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks man

[@bobvila4381]

Nice!

[@AM-vs4hh]

Ive never seen such a sophisticated and good taste built. Very artistic and done with good taste. Color combination is so OP/ After seeing this video im thinking seriously of doing something similar to my built... Fittings are so damn expensive Could you share how much fittings did you use in total pls ? Ty

[@cristivoiculescu96]

Remembered about this video 1 year after seeing it. Had to scroll through my liked videos to find it. It was the 2507th video. Now I can put it where it belongs: in my favorites!

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Hard to believe it’s been that long

[@user-yi3yl2xo4i]

This is amazing! And the question is off topic, can you tell the author track on Pond5? I can't find it.

[@roadi7]

beauty

[@dasdsadasdsadsadsa2512]

Rlly Nice PC you have inspiried me For my next pc

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Love to hear that!

[@lukaswachter6735]

Wow! Very nice work! I see you used a 54mm thick radiator (plus 25mm for the fans) on top. How did you make it work? If i measure in my own (the same) case i only have 74mm from the top mounting to the RAM slot. Did you have to cut something?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I believe that radiator is only 45mm thick

[@gsgrzegorz98]

i saw your build on reddit. hod to come and watch for myself.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@MrNineties]

Build is perfection. I happen to have the same motherboard and although i'm not 100% it appears you may have left the packaging film on the ICH/Southbridge. Just checking!

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Nope. It's very glossy

[@user_1ff113]

If there's a Chiron of PCs out there - This. Is. It.

[@nielsegense]

Love the idea of brown sleeves! I'm struggling to get tan/coyote tan sleeving here (in Denmark) and I'm NOT putting anything else in a wood-top build with Noctua fans ;) If I can't source any, I'm going to have to resort to gutting some paracord/climbing line... Did you do them yourself or have someone do them for you?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I build my own cables.

[@juanignaciochiusaroli6408]

Very nice! can you tell me wich parts of watercoolig thas it have?

[@andrewolago413]

Awesome build. No mechanical drives? What do you use your pc for?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Everything. Gaming. Video editing, etc

[@soupistasty5]

Do you have a link for Randy, the maker of the replacement walnut front panel, and any idea if he'd be willing to make more? Because I really doubt there's any other case on the market that suits/ allows for a better, more seamless wood replacement front! Beautiful work Vir1lity PCC.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Linked in the description

[@justrandomfootage23]

Great build, gave me alot of inspiration and after looking on the web for 2 months i decided to give this case a try with a custom loop. It will be my first build all the way, so it took me quite alot of research. I have one big question though. I want to remove the basement shroud as well to allow for more room. However you say it loses rigidity? But does turning it on its side for the refill not put too much stress on the frame while tilting it ? I will be running it with a 2080 ti and i7-7800k, i read you thermals are okay this way ? Or are they borderline with your setup ? Cheers

[@v.aesthetic3764]

When the build is assembled, the case gets some of its rigidity back but it’s still a good idea to be careful when tipping it. Thermals have been fine for me.

[@justrandomfootage23]

I would assume your noise levels are normal aswell then? Anyhow thanks for the feedback! I might give it a go. Looking forward to your next project.

[@markkennedy4055]

Amazing! Maybe your “Wood Guy”could make thin Walnut inlays for the radiators ,”Wood” would really tie it all together.

[@weaponsgradewoodworking3432]

How long did that fluid last in your system, and did it get clogged at all?

[@hughshearer3560]

how did he mount the reservoir? Did he screw it into a passthrough and plug the other side?

[@jackcordery8964]

Could you not fit the 360mm in the front? Or did u use 280mm just to fit the bleed valve?

[@forgd2856]

so how much do I have to pay for one of those custom front panels. that looks soooo good

[@harshlens]

To each their own, but I would have gone with vertical mounted gpu, monoblock and if we want to go even further in awesome crazyness customisation, I would have build an integrated chassis reservoir (something that we are starting to see a little more.

[@RockingItInSofia]

Awesome build i wish i could cut that out but I still have a 1tb hard drive for storage and then there would be no way for me to hide it. Great build though looks amazing man.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Ya, definitely no room for a HDD in this build.

[@js8905]

wish the glass notches matched with the wood notch - but looks great regardless

[@skceej]

Im getting this case, just can’t decide on a color

[@greenbayjames7254]

Just wondering why you didn't put 90 degree fitting on the fill port, and on the drain (to eliminating the need to turn the system to drain)? for aesthetics or for technical reasons or something else?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

isn't practical in this situation

[@alderayala4684]

Was glass ever a consideration instead of the acrylic? Also, where are those radiators from?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Yes, I did consider glass but for just those few runs, I decided against it. I will be using glass tubing in the future though.

[@atomkinder67]

Have you had any issues with the Vue coolant? I have seen multiple reports of extreme breakdown and potentially abrasive qualities stripping nickel plating from (EK's specifically) blocks.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

2 months and no problems, but I also meet all the recommended requirements from PrimoChill.

[@agitatingazathoth1592]

I have. Just saying. It kind of seema to me an initial batch was more stable. People that got it on release aren't having issue but more recent installs are. It's a Russian roulette game at this point it kinda seems.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I got the initial batch, so perhaps there's some truth to that.

[@williscooper7750]

Is that PrimoChill VUE fluid? If so any adverse reactions with the silver fittings and the fluid? Seen many vids where silver reacts with it. Not sure if they fixed that yet or not..

[@v.aesthetic3764]

The fittings are brass

[@williscooper7750]

Brass silver plated? you said they were silver so just trying to understand.

[@allisterw9]

can your buddy fabricate a metal, asking because i want to change the front door to my define r6 to an aluminum door that does not open , or close . No need for it to

[@davidporterrealestate]

You have an excellent speaking presentation

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Thank you

[@scottkailey1]

I think mod my mods sells a top panel for that case that offers alot more air flow.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

My temps are fine. No need to worry about it

[@bonjourq]

How often you need to replace the primochill cooling liquid?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

This seems to vary quite a bit from case to case so I don't have a good answer for that.

[@kidfusion3000]

I like the wood panel on front but I don't understand the angles. why didn't you cut the sides so they lined up with the angles on the side panels? the gap being uneven kind of throws me.

[@v.aesthetic3764]

That's the shape of the original panel. I wanted to keep the original design as best I could.

[@squall6789]

And the original design is like that for airflow, I assume.

[@DPLFC]

Perfect as is imo. Can't see the issue.

[@merwinscheepers5388]

Thanks for not putting in rgb shit!this is elegant and stylish!subscribed😱

[@joakim5714]

Anyone know the intro song name?

[@l0unny]

Since you have no bends you could have use glass tube , nice build

[@agitatingazathoth1592]

I think i would have had a brain aneurysm setting that machine on the grass though ;p

[@emsj86]

Of topic but what can I use to clean my nickel fittings to keep them shining

[@v.aesthetic3764]

I just rub them with a microfiber cloth.

[@kiing8458]

Anyone know the name of the music in the beginning?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

It's a piece of music I bought from Pond5.

[@iGoValkyrie]

really like the look of the case, but god damn the airflow sucks on it, if ur going for an airflow oriented build ur case will suffocate

[@HaraldBergTechTv]

Ian Peng I think that the airflow improved somewhat with the modified top panel and front panel

[@SilvermikeTT]

What were the radiator sizes used?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

280 in the front, 140 at the top

[@v.aesthetic3764]

sorry, meant 240 at the top

[@chriswinslow5260]

The sickness. this is what modders should strive for.

[@DanielRichards644]

When your RES has to block EVERY OTHER EXPANSION SLOT other then the single GPU thats how you know when it's time to look for a bigger case to start with

[@LOLZERZXD]

Wasn't this on r/PCMR?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Ya, I posted it there.

[@maxidom33]

Hello. NICE NICE NICE !!!!! Somebody knows the name of the liquide ?!!!!!!! Please

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Primochill VUE

[@seaboardspastic]

If only I could buy this thing... If I could, what price?

[@v.aesthetic3764]

Unfortunately she’s been disassembled but I have a similar build coming soon

[@wyattmathis4854]

What if you made wood tubing

[@v.aesthetic3764]

haha. That would be insane!

[@hankhillsdisappointedsigh]

This is an amazing build, but that piano music at the beginning was wayyy too dramatic.. lol

[@41666bg]

There are 9 Very Jealous people that watched this video

[@Tracid320si]

Everything in the case is straight except the cabels. I give you 4 of 5 Stars. You have to comb these cabels for the perfect Look. And wow, alone the Fitings are for sure more than a hundred Bucks hm

[@v.aesthetic3764]

This is a preference thing. I normally comb the cables. I didn't do it with this build on purpose. With the brown, I liked the more raw and organic look.

[@DPLFC]

Those fittings are easily worth £100 + completely defines the build imo.
