  1. Thank you all, I'm very happy! Congratulations to all the modders for their fantastic work. Thanks to Thermaltake and all the other sponsors for this opportunity.
  2. Worklog Final – Full Build Video After the reveal, I also wanted to share a more complete look at the build, focusing not only on the final result but also on some of the key stages that bring everything together. In this video, you can see parts of the actual assembly process, including: SSD installation RGB setup using Thermaltake RGB Plus Filling the custom liquid cooling loop Final assembly and system power-on The goal was to show the transition from a finished mod to a fully working system, where design and functionality finally meet. This project has been a long journey, combining custom fabrication, painting, and hardware integration into a single build inspired by the world of DOOM: The Dark Ages. Thanks again to Thermaltake for the opportunity, and to all the sponsors for supporting the project! Hope you guys like the finished results!
  3. This is it. After taking you through every stage of the build, it’s time to show the project from a different perspective, not as a worklog, but as a complete vision. This cinematic video brings together all the elements of the mod: shapes, materials, lighting, and details, capturing the atmosphere I had in mind from the very beginning. The goal was never just to build a PC, but to create something that feels forged in a dark, brutal world, inspired by DOOM: The Dark Ages. A mix of structure and environment, where every part belongs to the same scene. It’s been a process made of experiments, adjustments, and constant refinement, and this video is the final result of that journey. Huge thanks to Thermaltake for making this possible. And thanks to all the sponsors who supported the project along the way. If you’ve been following since the first update, thank you.
  4. Worklog Final Update – DOOM: The Dark Ages Mod And here we are — the final reveal. What started as a concept has now become a complete build. From the early planning stages, through 3D printing, sanding, painting, and countless adjustments, this project has been a full journey. There were definitely easier phases, where everything came together naturally, and also more challenging moments, where things didn’t go as planned and required time, patience, and rework. But that’s part of the process, and what makes the final result even more satisfying. Piece by piece, the build took shape: the base, the case, the custom GPU, the printed elements, the paintwork… all coming together to create something cohesive. In the end, I’m extremely happy with how it turned out. I feel like the project really captures the dark, gritty, and brutal atmosphere of DOOM: The Dark Ages, both in terms of structure and overall aesthetic. A huge thank you to Thermaltake for the opportunity to be part of this competition, it’s been an incredible experience from start to finish. Thanks as well to all the other sponsors for providing the components and supporting the project. And of course, thanks to everyone who followed the worklog along the way. Make sure to keep following here and on my social channels, there’s more coming soon, including a full cinematic video of the build that I can’t wait to share with you!
  5. Worklog Update #25 – GPU Customization (Full Process Video) Today’s update is a special one. The build is now essentially complete, but before revealing the final result, I wanted to focus on one of the key elements of the project: the custom GPU. In this update, I’m sharing the full video covering the entire customization process, made possible thanks to the Palit Maker program. The video walks through every stage: From the initial 3D printing of the custom parts To sanding and surface preparation Then moving into spray painting And finally the hand-painted detailing that brings everything together The video ends with a full cinematic reveal of the GPU, along with a few subtle glimpses of the complete build, just enough to hint at what’s coming next. The full system reveal is coming tomorrow, with the final post of the worklog. Here you can find the video of the process on YouTube: Stay tuned, we’re at the finish line.
  6. Worklog Update #24 – Custom GPU Mount In today’s update, I’m showing the custom mounting stand for the GPU. Since the graphics card will be placed in a fairly unconventional position, a standard solution wouldn’t have worked. For this reason, I designed and built a fully custom support, tailored specifically to fit the layout and ensure both stability and proper alignment. This piece is essential not just structurally, but also to maintain a clean and intentional look within the build. In the photo, you can also catch a small glimpse of the GPU details — nothing too revealing yet, but a preview of what’s coming next.
  7. Worklog Update #23 – Motherboard Integration In today’s update, I’m revisiting the custom motherboard tray, this time showing it fully installed in the 90-degree rotated layout. Compared to the previous update where I focused on the design and printing phase, here you can see how everything comes together in practice. The pass-through holes are now positioned and ready to handle the liquid cooling fittings, giving a clearer idea of how the tubing will be routed through the structure. In the second photo, the previously shown 3D printed rock structure is now finished and in place, with the motherboard installed inside it. The effect is exactly what I was aiming for: the hardware appears embedded into the rock, becoming part of the environment rather than just sitting in a frame. This step really helps translate the concept into something tangible, bridging the gap between idea and final composition.
  8. Worklog Update #22 – GPU Custom Plate In today’s update, I’m giving a first look at the custom GPU plate, created using the Palit Maker program. The piece has been designed to fit perfectly over the original structure, allowing for a non-destructive aesthetic modification while keeping the hardware untouched. I’ve also started working on some hand-painted details, adding texture and depth to better match the overall theme of the build. For now, I’m only showing a preview of the process and some close-up details. I don’t want to reveal too much yet, as the full GPU transformation will be featured in a dedicated video. More updates coming soon, getting very close to the final result.
  9. Worklog Update #21 – Custom PSU Cover In today’s update, I’m working on the custom PSU cover. The piece has been treated with the usual painting process, including base coats and airbrush work to build depth, shadows, and texture. On top of that, I’ve added extra 3D printed details to give the cover more presence and better match the overall style of the build. The goal here is to turn a typically hidden or secondary component into something that actually contributes to the visual identity of the project.
  10. Worklog Update #20 – External Panels I’m working on a set of custom decorative panels that will complete the exterior of the case. These pieces are 3D printed and designed to enhance the overall look, adding more depth and detail to the outer structure before shifting full focus to the internal components. In the photos, you can see: The raw prints, straight after production The same pieces painted and fully detailed, ready to be installed With these elements, the exterior of the case is getting closer to its final form. Next step: moving inside the build and focusing on layout, components, and integration.
  11. Worklog Update #19 – Custom Motherboard Tray In today’s update, I’m showing the custom motherboard tray, completely redesigned and 3D printed for this build. The tray has been made to support a 90-degree rotated motherboard layout, which will play a key role in both the visual impact and the internal organization of the system. It also features custom-sized pass-through holes, specifically designed to route the tubing for the liquid cooling system cleanly through the structure. This allows for a more controlled and intentional layout, rather than forcing the tubing around the components. This piece is a crucial part of the build, as it directly connects aesthetics and functionality. More updates coming soon, the internal structure is starting to take shape.
  12. Worklog Update #18 – Case Completed As anticipated in the previous update, today I’m showing the finished case. The painting process is now complete, along with all the final details and finishing touches. The surface work, textures, and color layers come together to match the dark, aggressive tone of the DOOM: The Dark Ages theme. This step is a major milestone for the build, the case is no longer just a structure, but a fully integrated visual element that ties in with the rest of the project. With this part completed, the next phase will focus on assembly and integration of all the components and custom elements created so far. More updates coming soon, the build is entering its final stages.
  13. Worklog Update #17 – Case Prep In today’s update, work begins on the case itself. The surface has been sanded down to remove the original finish and prepare it properly for painting. After that, a primer coat has been applied to create a clean, uniform base for the next stages. This step is all about preparation, making sure the surface is smooth, consistent, and ready to handle the final paint and detailing work without issues. In the upcoming updates, I’ll move on to the painting phase and start bringing the visual identity of the project onto the case.
