We March for Macragge!
This PC had several design elements that we worked very hard to tie together. We went with a mini warscape from the back side view along the bottom of the side panel, showing a fight unfolding between some miniatures. Above it we wanted to mark it like Ultramarines do with their shoulder pauldrons with their Chapter symbol. Next to that is a quote of the current Chapter Master, Marneus Augustus Calgar, who is also laser engraved on the glass panel with a Ultramarine U backdrop. The top was designed to look like the war-torn surface of a battle mat, as a cool place to display some miniatures and tie-in the tabletop aspects of the game. Lastly the Emperor's Sword, which the newly returned Roboute Guilliman currently wields, is seen prominently displayed on the front of the case.
The overall parts design was straight forward. The customer wanted to have top tier performance moving into the future, with a no compromises approach. The 5900X at the time of the build was the top gaming CPU on the market, and the extra cores and threads would allow it to keep up for years to come. The EVGA 3080 10GB FTW3 Ultra was the perfect pairing to be able to tackle both high refresh-rate gaming and video editing with Adobe Premier. The EVGA 850W 80+ Gold PSU was plenty of power to power the system and we went with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 to help keep things performing at the top, and add some industrial feel to the system, the same way many 40K weapons and environment have. Paired with 32GB of high speed RAM and over 3TB of storage there is little Chaos can do to beat the bulwark of a tank this system is.
