Put what I think are the final touches on my long time Portal themed PC mod. I swapped out the old water cooling loop with an internal reservoir and hard tube that looks very similar to the gel tubes of Portal 2. I also self designed, glued together, sanded, and painted a 3D printed shroud to cover the bottom area of the case to hide the PSU and mess of wires I couldn't otherwise hide behind the motherboard tray. Removed the seldom used Blu-ray drive and the old fan controller in favor of a Corsair iCUE Commander Pro. Finally, a pair of stickers I found off Redbubble to really sell the idea this is Aperture Science property. Other things shown: Valve Index with 3d printed faceplates and grips. A custom made secondary display themed as a test chamber sign that shows the date, cpu and ram usage, and coolant temperature. Alienware Ultrawide with self made addressable RGB leds on the rear perimeter which synchronize to a capture of my desktop and thus actually synchronize and match with the color and motion of anything I play.

After all these years of tweaks I think its finally a complete project.

If interested a listing of the current parts used, and an up close photo of the circuitry for the mod, is here: https://www.modsrigs.com/detail.aspx?BuildID=34669

An example of the custom RGB reactive lighting I installed on my monitor: https://youtu.be/P5LgE9NY7Pc

The areas where the lighting that appears purple is actually white in person. The camera I used puts a weird purple tint on it.
