ok, since TT is not offering gpu block for asus dual 7800xt i ve decided to make one, also idea was to incorporate their cpu block screen, a little bit of reverse engineering here, sorry TT   did i rush with a thing before learning if the software can show info on 2 screens at the same time...maybe, but now is to late

Hi guys. Another update, lots of cutting and sanding today!
I removed the MB tray and cut a big piece of it. The frame that I am left with will go back in the case, for it adds a structural integrity to the case and also it will help a lot for the cable management.
     
The edges on the cut part look very rough and badly cut and that's due to it was my first time using a grinder and a front grinder (Dremel), but they are not as bad as it looks, it looks rough mostly because I took some paint off while sanding it but I will be painting it so it will look and be a lot better.
One more thing for today, the LCS kit I got is one from before AM5 I suppose, so I don't have the AM5 mounting brackets. So I had to improvise on that part. I cut the hooks from the stock motherboard cooler mounting and used the black plastic parts as spacers and screwed the waterblock in with the stock MB screws.
    
Now I'm wondering if this is an alright solution or should I get the actual mounting stuff i need?

Big update here ! As the modding deadline is close , and only few weeks left , i have to be rush ! So placed the custom motherboard tray to the case by drilling some holes, measure it up to be straight , and screw it up . I make  also some holes to the mb tray  to put standoffs and place motherboard and pump-res combo . As you can see I moved the mb tray more to the front to have enough space to fit gpu and pump-res combo to the back side of the case which will be visible by the custom window panel I made .Then placed a custom gpu mounting bracket screwed to the rad and  fans and power it up with a long riser cable . It fits like a glove as I planed from the first time I thought about it . Plus the double 360 Rads that gonna cool the 9800x3d fair enough . Fans on the left side was in reverse so can take some fresh air and on the right rad  is exhaust . Seems like a tight setup , but I wanted to get full potential of space and cooling by the case,  and fill up the case as much as I can . Now I have to take care of the top panel that as you can see from the previous post  has a big hole on the center . Something  special gonna fit there . After that I have to plan the custom loop runs and start bending , also do some final themed touches and better cable managing .  Still you can’t guess the theme ? 😃
 
 

Alright so, until now I had not revealed the theme of the build. The whole thing will be made in a Star Wars Stormtrooper theme, and will contain Imperial empire inspired elements from Star Wars movies. Here are the cad drawings of all the custom parts / panels. All of these will be made from steel sheets.
 
So there will be custom MB tray and another tray which will hold the PSU and reservoir, one cover which will be in the inside, covering the bottom part of the MB and covers on the side panels and back panel. On the first picture everything is as it will be in the end and bottom picture is with every part separated.

Hi everyone! 
A small update to keep you up. In the photos I'm showing the rough positioning of the hardware. Although it might look as it is the same as planned in the case, if you take a closer look you'll see that the motherboard is 10ish centimeters closer to the front than normal.
 
 
The plan is to move the motherboard tray upfront so I get a larger "chamber" in the back of the case. In the back partition I will place the PSU and the radiator and I will add a window to the back panel which will provide a nice showcase for the parts in the back. Also for this to be possible the GPU will be mounted with an extender and not directly in the MB. The GPU has to be mounted to the farthest slots to fit everything. Also on the left panel I will make a window that will give a nice display to the GPU. 
For now I'm mostly working on the CAD's for the custom parts and panels so I don't really have a lot of things to show apart from these photos, but more are coming very soon!
