Sounds like a fun build.... Subbing for the ride!

Also.... With the six monitors, I'm guessing CAD work? How do you have the monitors set up as well? Always curious about small details like these ^_^

He's a stock trader, or the like, also judging by his NYSE (new York stock exchange) moniker. They need many screens to watch the time flow of their investments.

Look forward to seeing the progress, about to start a caselabs build myself. Such cool cases.

Subbed. I'm curious why you're using high-end cards and water cooling for a trading rig, though. I assume that since you're using multi-monitor setup that you're doing manual trading. Personally, my trading rig is a thin client running a tuned neural network while I do the tuning on my more powerful rig where I need the performance to run simulations, etc, this is all for automated trading though.

Wanted to build something that would run at low temps, handle anything I threw at it and was fun to look at since I'm at my desk 10-12 hours a day.

How does one get manufacturers to sponsor him/her?
From what it looks like, it's more of a "paying homage" to the companies thing than a sponsors list, because if they were sponsors one would have to go through the sponsorship program here on OCN and pay the sponsored build fees.

As for how to get sponsors? Work hard, do beautiful work, get your name out there as a consistent, high quality builder that always continues to improve themselves.... And when you get to that point, ask the companies nicely, politely, and professionally.... And don't just make it about you getting something, remember that being sponsored is a two way avenue - there is no free lunch with being a sponsored builder. You have timetables you have to stick to (sometimes insanely short ones, for special events), and there are usually additional requirements they have in place when you're sponsored (no gear from competitors, they might ask you to change a piece of hardware in your build to something else that works better for them, etc).

A number of builders choose to go without sponsorship because of those additional commitments, or wanting to go with whatever they themselves feel is best for their particular theme they're planning.

Bitspower pump / res config mock up: Sleeved the cables with black Teleios as well.

Used 45 degree and 90 degree rotary adapters to get the offset just right. 1st time I have seen this config setup with equal (in / out) spacing left to right on the pump top. Fills the space right to the edge on both sides when left / right fittings are in place.

Also changed the pump top screws to silver M3 x 0.5 - Stainless Steel socket caps which look and fit much better than the factory black button head screws.
