Project: Immortal. Full Water Cooled PC Packed Into A Flight Case

Dec 23, 2014 Written by:ROG Article

You know that TUF motherboards are ultra-durable, but is it possible to grant them immortality? Top Chinese modder, Wei Zheng, used just this inspiration when creating Project: Immortal; his new work that encases TUF’s artic-camouflaged Sabertooth Z97 Mark S in a 'Tropicana', a classic and increasingly-rare waterproof photographic-equipment case from Europe’s leading luggage brand, Rimowa. For temperature control Zheng fitted a water cooling kit from Bitspower, with stainless steel tubing.

Wei Zheng’s ingenious method of creating impregnable strength was to combine the Sabertooth Z97 Mark S, a “motherboard that cannot be broken” with Tropicana, a “yet-to-be-broken box”. Immortal is a formidable motherboard with formidable cooling in a formidable case!
