Project Description
Vitaly approached us with the dream of creating a unique computer that would become not just a powerful tool, but a true interior art piece. The key request was deep case styling in steampunk aesthetics, with copper, brass, retro elements, and natural materials.
- Field of use: Professional work with resource-intensive tasks (server usage) and premium gaming.
- Key requirement: Full visual identity to the Steampunk concept, premium leather trim, and personal branding integration (the client logo "Eye of Horus" and Sibo inscription).
- Special conditions: The client provided part of their own components, and our task was not only to assemble the system but also perform highly complex artistic customization.
HYPERPC LUMEN 8 CUSTOM Configuration
The system is built on top-tier components that provide massive performance headroom:
- CPU:AMD Ryzen 9 (as part of the LUMEN 8 ULTRA platform).
- GPU:ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 (chosen for better compatibility with a custom water block).
- Motherboard:ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E HERO.
- RAM:64GB DDR5 G.Skill Trident Z5 (gold edition to match the project style).
- Storage:2 x 2TB SSD M.2 NVMe Samsung.
- Power supply:Corsair RM1200e 1200W.
- Cooling:Fully custom liquid-cooling loop with copper tubing and water blocks styled as copper.
- Customization:Case wrapped in genuine leather, laser-engraved logos, custom sleeved cables, and decorative brass elements.
Selection Process and Solution
The project turned out to be a technical challenge. Initially, the client relied on AI-generated references that were physically impossible to build due to layout constraints. We offered an alternative: implementation based on the Lian Li Dynamic case, which is ideal for custom liquid-cooling systems.
Interesting fact: the project was handled by our lead craftsman Artyom, who had previously created similar concepts in other well-known studios. This guaranteed a perfect style match for the client.
During the process, we faced several nuances:
- Power supply: At the client's request, we replaced the standard unit with a Corsair RM1200e, a benchmark for reliability and silence.
- Memory optimization: We recommended 6000 MHz with low timings instead of 6400 MHz, since AMD platforms deliver more stable and higher FPS at this setting.
- Complex finishing: Due to the side panel geometry, it was impossible to wrap it with a single piece of leather. We found an elegant solution: splitting it into three sections with decorative hand stitching, which emphasized the handcrafted spirit.
- Exclusive details: Metal overlays and logos were produced at a specialized facility in Gelendzhik to achieve jewelry-level precision.
Result
After two months of meticulous work, we created a system that exceeded the client's expectations. The computer was delivered to Saint Petersburg with special temperature-controlled shipping to prevent condensation on custom parts and electronics.
The system passed a 48-hour stress test, confirming readiness for 24/7 operation as both a powerful server and gaming station.
"It looks amazing in person! The logo, the leather, the lighting - everything is exactly how I imagined it."
