Did my leak test and began the 72 hour fluid cycle on the newest build tonight, also set up the U.V lighting for the U.V reactive skyblue liquid going in this one.

It's the same case as the last build I did but with some modifications on the custom loop parts making for a much grander flow reaction in the reservoir.

Everything is RGB as well, even the gpu water block this time haha, so it should make for some interesting options.

Fingers cross on no leaks overnight

Spoiler!

Liquidus Primus 2.0 is now Complete. Full RGB but I think the white and blue looks solid, easily changed to whatever color someone desires though.

Thanks folks, my brother and I have been building up the portfolio this year on builds for friends and family, we decided to go extra premium on this one, I was seeing some pretty ridiculous prices on custom builds out of stores like memory express and they sell, so why not make something actually worth the price people are paying.

It's the first one we built without a buyer lined up so I'll be trying my hat as a salesman this month. That being said unless someone knows the cost and what it takes to make something like this they will likely scoff at the price until they look at comparable offers and see the thousands in savings.


It's not a computer...its art...on a desk, that has a computer in it....

If you plan on expanding on offering builds out, keep us posted. I've been toying around with a build on ME but I'd be curious how much it would run me if you were to offer the same build.

Yeah, the plan is to expand on things, we actually have a meeting coming up about consignment for a company, which is ideal as we can focus on the building and less on the support afterwards.


We pretty well source everything we can through Memory Express, and have a decent discount which more or less covers the expense of Instant product replacement. It's once you get into the enthusiast part of things that we have to source elsewhere, for example all the water cooling components for the high end stuff.


Main price point always comes down to CPU and GPU and what someone wants their PC to be able to do at the end of the day.

Ok, off the top of my head cause I don't have my parts list on me.

Intel 8700k - Delidded with liquid metal application Overclocked to 5.2 ghz (still testing stability but hit 5.3 at 1.33V which I found too good to be true)

EvGA 1080ti FTW3 (only card we could get our hands on during the mining boom, haven't tested the O.C range yet)

16GB Trident Z RGB 3200mhz Ram

Asus Maximus Hero X Wifi/AC ver.

Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NvMe 500GB SSD,

Corsair 850 Watt AX850 - Fully Modular

All fans (6) are Corsair 140 Light Loop RGB

2 360 Radiators for those 6 fans to cool, one top mounted one back panel mounted behind the Reservoir.

Corsair Fan controller and Device bridge hidden in the back - along with some incredibly OCD cable management.

All cables hand made and sleeved, minus the riser cable to the GPU.

Water cooling parts and Water blocks are a mishmash of EK, Singularity, and Aquatuning.

Tubes were hand bent by my brother, and to top it off we lined the case with U.V lighting in case someone wants to use one of the various U.V reactive fluids out there.

The fancy liquid inside is Primochill Vue Skyblue U.V reactive fluid, they make some really neat looking fluids but require more prep and a bit more frequent maintenance.


We also love doing basic builds in all kinds of cases which can be built in a few hours versus the labour of love something like this requires haha.

Might be one of those times when you need to ask forgiveness rather than permission.

I'll be posting for sale in the next few days once I'm done running comparables. Naturally I'll run a CP discount on whatever that number ends up as.

But I won't lie this one is probably going to be on the higher end of spectrum for price but a whole lot cheaper then getting it through any of the boutique builders like maingear, Xoctic pc and digital storm.

But again we do all budgets. Majority can be built and set up in a day given the parts in stock.

I am stoked people like the look though, it's what I would build for myself if I didnt make one about a year ago.

No you won't, and that's fine, just play the games and enjoy.

Another day another Intel speculative execution security flaw called Foreshadow that completely break through Intel's Trusted Execution Environments. Will require microcode patches that will likely impact performance

Somehow I still want a 9900k, I really hope AMD Keeps pushing the CPU space, their 7nm process on GPU's may be the kick that Nvidia needs as well.

That's an amazing machine. Wish I had that kind of money to blow on it!

By the way, the kijiji link is broken. Had to fix the https portion of the link to make it work.
