Hello All,
Here is a pic of the final build of my open air PC build. I built the case about 5 years ago and have been running a 10900k.
I have stepped up to a 9950X3d and the Asus Crosshair ROG 2006 X870E motherboard.
I have 3 x 360mm radiators and a pair of D5 pumps in series.
Let me know if you have any questions! J

Not sure if anyone uses builds.gg anymore. But I posted a bunch of pictures there.
I also have my other builds.liated as well.

There are some pretty nice systems there. Put mine to shame.
This person definitely doesn’t have a cat.
Or children.
or dust
Of course not, you can tell he still enjoys life and his hobbies.
I have cats and children and dust and I love my hobbies
Your must either not be allowed in the room ever, or is significantly more well-behaved than most! Mine would absolutely wreck this without some kind of barrier in the way.
Bro, what?
Mine would sit on it immediately
Can it play Doom?
That’s fucking cool. I’ve always thought the open designs were pretty sweet, this is giving me ideas. If I end up building one I might do something like this with walnut and more brass.
I am playing with the idea of changing the clear tubes to copper pipes. I still might.
The original steam machine.
That’s cool, but I would have used wheels instead.
For those curious on my the VRM Temps.
Here is the summary of my VRM temps: CPU VDD (Main Core Power) VRM: Averaged 58.1°C with a peak of 61.3°C. CPU SOC (System on Chip Power) VRM: Averaged 57.7°C with a peak of 60.7°C. CPU MISC (Miscellaneous Power) VRM: Averaged 64.9°C with a peak of 66.0°C. GPU VRM: Averaged 34.6°C with a peak of 35.0°C.
That’s cool but all I can think of is how dusty it will get.
LoL, yeah I can imagine. I hadn’t cleaned it before the rebuild in about 2 years. Here is what that looked like:
🤮
Needs more brass.
When that baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious shit
The ATX specification will have the exact measurements. You’ll be able to get the dimensions from that.
You can also find a junk mobo to use as well from eBay.
Make sure you keep an eye on your VRM temps. I don’t see any airflow for that in your picture.
Yeah, so far everything seems ok, I keep an eye on them and I am looking at ways to actively cool it.
Oh wow, absolutely gorgeous and I also wanted to do something like that. How did you attach the motherboard screws to the wood? Are there any suitable wooden screws, did you work with plastic washers or did you glue the metal screws into thr wood?
Threaded inserts most likely.
He for real said lmk bout questions, and ghosted everyone
Nice build tho
I didn’t have my notifications on, what Qs do you have?
None I was just being snarky cause I was mostly interested in your answers when I first scrolled this and there were none lol
Same
