Introduction:
Been a long time since I last did a build and have something special planned for this one. I am updating my very first rig, Project TGB and doing some pretty serious upgrades for the hardware as well as the aesthetics. This will be the third build which I have done under Project B and this one is close to my heart as I have been toying with the designs for close to two years now. There have been many different inspirations and drives towards making a wallmounted PC and have been around in my sketches for probably nearly 2 years now. During this there have been many different builds I have seen through this time which really drove me to keep going and try and get the build made, chiefly @MakiRole with his insane Loramentum build which just BLEW my mind! I am really happy that I am finally in a position where I can afford it financially and also spend the time on the build that it will deserve! Now onto the specs.

Case:
The case has been made by the amazing guys over at Parvum Systems specially for this build and I cannot thank them enough for the hard work that they have put into the build. Personally I would like to thank @imersa who has helped from the very start. I have included the final renders below and will post some pictures when it arrives hopefully in the next few days. The main concepts behind the design are for a minimalist build accented with a Koi fish reservoir. All this with as little tubing as possible and still achieving a sleek and elegant final piece.
