Default Winter is good for something.....Building a new PC inspired by my Corvette!!

SO...This winter has really sucked!! I have not done any mods to the Corvette yet, but instead I decided to work on building a new PC inspired by my Corvette! If you would like a little diversion into my crazy nerd hobby of building PC's, check out my build log below! It took over 3 months of planning, designing and building to complete.

The complete build log is HERE

Complete Image Gallery HERE

Enjoy!

All that for Fortnite?
I'm a tech nerd as well (InfoSec). Been building and OCing since the early Pentium days and that rig is absolutely crazy.
I assume you are an engineer, both car and PC max OCed, curious as to what your lawnmower looks like? lol

Nice work, both the car and that monster rig.

What exactly are all those fans cooling off? There are only a couple of components that really need it (CPU and GPU). Are you just using it to try to cool your liquid setup?

Looks cool nonetheless.

I think you need a ZR1 in your driveway to match that build.
And yeah, this winter really sucks!

Correct...Cooling is for the two 2080ti graphic cards, CPU, and Memory.

Thanks!

holy crap, dude. I gotta ask, how much did you pump into that setup?

I used to build PCs and lost interest in as laptops came down in price and gaming laptops starting coming out.

I'm sitting here trying to justify 1 x 2080ti! Beautiful build... well done.
