Nice, love the all white look. How much does it typically cost to powder coat if you dont mind me asking?
Not at all!
It cost me about $35AUD (~$26USD). I could have done a DIY job but thought it best to leave to the pros, at least for this one

Looks very nice. Look forward to seeing it together!Outer panels back from the powder coaters today. I'll commence a separate build log shortly. Again, photos don't do any justice. Looks great up close / in person
The front panel although originally in black came out just as good. I have a spare aluminium silver finished on order so once that's fulfilled I'll hang onto the spare panel in case I want to do something else with the front. Cheers.
I think they are just as good, yeah. Feels great to me. I have only ever personally tried brown and red Cherry switches, though.Ok cool Ill have to check it out, ya the lights were one of the main reasons I liked it. Ive heard great things about romer g switches. Just as good as mx?

Thanks for the update. I went through something similar with Larry as well. Different combinations of 400 DC-ATX unit vs 160+400 vs a prototype 400 DC-ATX, etc. I was comfortable with tinkering, and was happy to help with testing, and video recording the restarts. I was able to help narrow down which voltage / rail was the culprit. He finally sent a unit with the older heatsink / components, and everything is working great now.Sup guys,
Here's a bit of an update since I haven't really posted anything for a while. I've been working with Larry from HDPLEX (solid dude), to figure out why I keep getting system restarts when I do anything graphically intensive. I tested the system components with multiple PSU's, besides the Eurocom/ HDPLEX combo, and everything worked fine. He swapped out my HDPLEX 400, but when going back to that, and the Eurocom, I still have issues. So, he's going to ship me his 1200W AC PSU that I will use in conjunction with the HDPLEX unit. From there, I'll be able to determine if the Eurocom is actually the issue. Fingers crossed.
Since I have everything back in the Skyreach, I should take some pics for you guys as well. I have yet to post anything, and was going to wait until it all worked flawlessly, but I may as well do it now lol. I'll try to take some in the next couple of days, to post on here. I'm also going to take a quick video or two, to show exactly what happens when I use the different PSU's. This is mostly for Larry's sake, but it may shed a bit more light onto the issue that some people are experiencing.
Yea I like doing things my self too, but for that price def worth letting the pros do it. Fig it would be more. Guess I'll be looking for local powder coaters.Not at all!

I hope you get your system to 100%!
I believe the problem on mine was with the 24pin, as the various 400w DC-ATX unit powered the GTX1080 fine. We found this out by powering the CPU and motherboard with a HDPlex160.Thanks man... it'd be nice to be able to game on the new card for once lol. And yeah, I originally thought the issue was the PCI/E rail on the HDPLEX and its inability to handle the power spike that the 1080 Ti pulled when starting a game, seeing as how my 970 worked fine as long as I didn't overclock the hell out of it. I still think it has to do with that rail, but just on the Eurocom now, since again, my 970 was fine and the issue doesn't present itself while just browsing the web.

I can run everyday tasks OK. Only games or GPU stress progress like Heaven/ Superposition. Actually it may game sometimes when I set power limit if the GTX 1080 to the minimum 50% in MSI Afteburner.Oh, interesting. Did you get restarts when doing normal tasks, or was it only when you played games, like me?

My board is full RGB.I'd have bought one of these to try the romer switches were it not for the blue LEDs as I've read some good reviews (nothing against blue, just didn't match my build colour scheme). I hope they bring out the same model with plain white or full RGB option later down the track.
Cherry Red all the way!
Hey guys! I'm new to the forum...
Good lord, my eyes.... Hope you find some resolution to your issue. I'll take another look at HDPlex once the newer 400w revision comes out. Until then I've gone for a super-custom G-Unique special, here.
I have the 300, 400, and 500w G-Unique power supplies. Yes the bricks for the 300-450w ones do get warm, thats why Gury provide the brick stand to help passively cool the bricks. The 500w version has a fully modded brick with fan(s), and what looks to be a custom fabricated metal brick housing. I’ve just received the 500w recently, but haven’t had a chance to test it yet. I ordered the kit with upgraded everything for USD220 + shipping. Here’s Gury’s description of it on his invoice:I wouldn't mind trying a G-Unique setup, but I really don't want a thermal nuclear brick. Even with the fans that Gury mods onto the bricks, I think they still get a bit too warm.
I’ll throw up some pics when I get a chance later tonight.
