I hope one day I can custom order motherboard design layout from manufacturer or they offer choice in design rather than flat square boring ones.

Hi all,
So yes, I do apologize on behalf of both of us for how slow this build is going. Ninja and I both have just entered our senior year of highschool, and between musical, academic, and athletic commitments, the build has made virtually no progress. We are both anticipating and hoping that after our schedules get into a good routine, things should settle down, and we should be able to get some work done on this! WORST case, after we're accepted to college, 2nd semester will be a breeze, and we will finally start than. Wish us luck at our ocean of AP's this year, and making it into some nice colleges!

So that's why i never saw any posts on here. Thanks for letting us know though!
I'm looking forward to seeing more of this when the time for it comes.

Yes the computer is still being built, but sadly at the moment Oliver and I have been busy with school, college applications and other things so it will probably start again in the next 2 months or so.

I'm on the same boat lol. I have a build but have not posted a build log, but some parts are sitting in my room.

Really? It gets tempting to start building cause i have mine in my tv room and so every time i come in there i just want to start building, but I know school work, sadly, comes above that.

Hi guys, it has been a while but things are starting to come back together. Oliver and I got back to the computer for the first time in 4 months to talk about the computer. The good news is we are starting to get more time and have an idea of what we have left to do. The bad news is that the updates will not be constant. But do not worry the updates will be more constant than once per 4 months.

Proof that I am not lying.

I have been thinking about converting my 250D into a mATX... I really want a mATX board so I can get another GTX980 into it

Nice, I remember that originally i was going to try and have sli/ corssfire in this build but I was a little worried about have enough rads to cool the whole thing if added. Plus I wanted to try and keep the exterior semi untouched, making it look as similar to the original case design as possible, but I'm sure you will figure it out.

Ya no room for water cool. I just plan to keep the system blowing hot air

I run the 980 ACX2.0 and it runs so chill that I am not really worried about heat... also my CPU is on a stock Intel cooler and never gets over 50c

I guess that works too, you don't have to be quite as fancy as me.

 

[nickbaldwin86]

any update? I completed my mATX 250D and I have since moved on... I plan on selling the 250D because it is just taking up space in my shop.

Right now, we haven't been thinking about it since school has once again overwheled us. As for when we will work on it, I honestly don't know exactly anytime before summer. Oliver is very busy these next couple of months and I lack the space to finish the project fully. I will be able to post updates but don't expect this to be finished before summer.
