Hi I'm colin Mcnally from consett in durham. Iv been building gaming PC's for around 10 years when I started sim racing after moving from console's. The last 2 years iv started doing full custom water loops in mine and a few friends PC's. This will be my first themed build so I thought I would include my other hobbie/passion which is motorbikes. Project motogp will include moving parts and a motorbike stand.

I'll like to thank all the sponsors for all the hard work in these tough times for making this possible.

Hi Everybody,

I'm Tom from sunny Birmingham, UK. I work as a software engineer / web developer which I've been doing since university and mainly play PC games and run in my spare time.

Been building and modding computers since around 15. My first mod was a side window cut-out and blue CCFL tube lighting, was so proud of that at the time (simpler times). Started water cooling at university on an overlclocked Q6600 which kicked out a lot of heat and kept it up ever since. Current PC is an ITX build with a 280mm and 120mm rad which has been a little workhorse / hotbox for the past year.

Onto this considerably more substantial build as a result of being selected for the Thermaltake UK 2020 Case Mod Challenge which has been awesome 😄 and the perfect distraction from current events. Been spending the past couple weeks getting everything together for the planned mods. Anyhow, onto the parts list:

Thermaltake View 51 Snow
AMD 3700X
Thermaltake TOUGHRAM RGB 3000MHz 4x8GB
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming
ASUS Radeon RX 5700
500GB Seagate FireCuda 520
14TB Seagate IronWolf Pro
Thermaltake Pacific C360 DDC Hard Tube Water Cooling Kit
Thermaltake Pacific V-RX 5700 Series Plus GPU Waterblock
Thermaltake Water Cooling Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit
300mm Thermaltake TTMod Sleeved Cables
300mm Thermaltake TTPremium PCIe Extender
850W Thermaltake Toughpower GF1

A couple photos of all the parts received:

Thank you to Thermaltake, AMD, ASUS, Seagate and Scan for sponsoring and who've done a great job at getting the parts together in such trying times.

Will be updating this thread over the coming weeks with my progress, at the moment just going to do a quick test set-up and take some case measurements.

Best of luck for everyone in the competition and happy building! 😀

Hello you wonderful people,

Im Hayden also known as TheMahano, Im from London, but moved to Manchester, Im 21 years old. I have been a tech enthusiast for over 6-7 years now, I work as an IT Consultant, and a content creator on twitch/YouTube (somewhat). I built my first "Gaming Computer" back when I was like 14, I turned a generic desktop computer into a somewhat gaming computer, This is where I dabbled firstly in "case modding". The metal case I used half sized PCI slots, and the case wouldn't fit the 750ti I had, so I cut a hole in the side of the case and removed the side panel. This lasted a couple of years till I built a new PC!

I don't want to give away my idea just yet, and would hope the people interested will follow my build and find out, but im going to put more time and effort into this build than any other build I have done! I hope the name gives a slight clue.

Thanks to all the sponsors and partners for the epic part list below (still waiting on the CPU and Ram).

ThermalTake View 51 Snow
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
Thermaltake Toughram RGB 32GB 3000Mhz
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming
ASUS Radeon RX 5700
500GB Seagate FireCuda 520
14TB Seagate IronWolf Pro
850W Thermaltake Toughpower GF1
Thermaltake Pacific Hard Tube Water Cooling Kit
Thermaltake Pacific V-RX 5700 Series Plus GPU Waterblock
Thermaltake Water Cooling Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit
300mm Thermaltake TtMod Sleeved Cables
300mm Thermaltake TT Premium PCIe Extender

I would like to thank ThermalTake and all the Sponsors for giving me this opportunity and sending me the parts. I hope my build logs/vlogs will entertain you guys and help inspire more people to be creative and build some epic custom rigs.

#Thermaltake, #ScanComputers #AMD #Asus #Seagate

I hope everyone stays safe and have a wonderful day!

So far I haven't done much due to COVID 19. I do not have enough space in my house to do what I need to do and planned to perform the build at a friends workstation. Introduction video coming out soon!
