It´s finnally official folks. Project 2 PC´s in 1 case is now good to go and this is also what will replace my beloved X58 system as my daily driver (X58 will be given the task to work as my new retro gamer). I have now all parts home i need and wanted accept for the GPU´s (well you know how the GPU market is)
I´ll reccomend before going throw the image, be sure you have time for it. There is a good amount of image. Also sorry, some image got blurry cause of light was beginning to be low and image is taken with a cheap ass smartphone. With Danish taxes, there are hardware here all in all for around 50000 - 54000 Dkr. or 8000-8500 USD and this is just with cheap GPU´s. So you can maybe understand why i have given this system the nickname: Wallet Ripper. The Theme of this system is black/dark. Join the darkside, we have naked hardware
i´ll either post 1 image directly here or post a Imgur link for that hardware that have more than 1 image. It´s to prevent this post to be to long and trust me, it would be if i put all image in here. Well it´s 2 systems and a good amount of ekstra stuff to take image of.
So first a teaser of it all, for those that dosent want to go throw all image.
No new system with out a new desk. Just a cheap desk from IKEA.

The motherboards. Asus B550-I mini ITX and ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO X570
The brains or CPU. 5600X and 5950X
The one thing that really saddens me about this system, is i only got these weak ass GPU´s. But this it what i manage to get in this GPU apocalypse. GTX 1050 TI and GTX 1660 SUPER from Asus and Palit.

Good sound is also needed with out overpaying. So i got a set of Logitech Z906 5.1 system

The case it all goes in to is Phanteks Enthoo 719 black (also known as Luxe 2).
Keyboard and Mouse is Logitech G910 ORION SPECTRUM and G903 Lightspeed.
Cooling is all air cooling. But while i stick to air, i tryed to get the best possible air cooling setup. So thermal paste is Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme. 5600X will be cooled by a low profile Noctua nh-l9x65 se-am4, but i will replace that brown fan with one of there identical black swap fans. I am joining the darkside, not the brownside... Either way back to topic. 5950X will be cooled by a Noctua nh-d15 chromax.black and stock fans replaced by one 140 MM and one 120 MM Noctua IPPC industrial 3000 RPM fans. All case fans will be lian li uni fan sl120. All fans controlled by two Aquacomputer quadro 6 xt controllers and not by the motherboards. One controller for each system. Look up in case link, there i have mounted one of the controller in the case for demonstration perpose.

Else there are some Vertical GPU mounts, some RGB strips and few other things. It can all be seen in the first teaser images.
Well there you have it, this will be my new battle station where all the gaming, workstain use and working from home will happen from now on. A sweet replacement for X58. With time i hope i can replace GPU´s with RTX 3060 TI and RTX 3080 or maybe RTX 3080 TI. Now it´s time to begin building this thing
