Every Monday, Build of the week highlights a unique rig from the web's most dedicated PC building communities.
Hans Peder Sahl, a modder from Denmark, set out to build a simple workstation, but the engineer in him couldn’t be stifled. What should have been a simple day or two project stretched into weeks, and the build evolved into something much more complex. The HEX Gear R40 Engineering Station takes an inherently pretty enthusiast chassis and through load of drafting, drilling, and cabling turns it into a build so compact and pretty that I get a bit woozy looking at the thing.
Beyond the intricate cabling, I’m most impressed with the custom watercooling setup. The translucent chambers on the back of the chassis are actually part of the flow. Liquid gets chugged out of the reservoir and through the top. It’s a mesmerizing component of the build, externalizing and giving proper due to an already impressive series of liquid cooling fittings.
To see more photos of the process, check out Hans’ build log. He’s an excellent photographer to boot, fully realized in the erotically charged video he made of the liquid fill process. Watch it after checking out the components.
