Meet the Throne Industrial: 6-Core Tri-SLI GTX 680 Custom Water Cooled Gaming System

Updated: April 11, 2013

Many modders dream of building that one custom system that stands out beyond its competitors and leaves people in awe. Bob Stewart from BSMODS has done such a thing and the result is the brand new Throne Industrial system that has all the bell, whistles and sheer badness to make it a one of a kind masterpiece of hardware. Rosewill, a division of Newegg provides a lot of parts for the price savvy buyer, which also included a ton of PC components as well like the case used in this system. The build from the outside in begins with the new Rosewill Throne Full Tower Case that has a lot of options for the end-user or Mod builder.

This system has so many new cool mods that we decided to just list all the parts and the mods that were done so you good folks could see just how much effort has gone into building this beast of a system. Built on the Intel X79 chipset motherboard and a 3970X CPU the system is made up of only the best in class parts. 48GBs of Kingston’s HyperX Beast memory were used as well as a Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD for the boot drive. The VGA cards are 3-EVGA GTX 680 Classified bad boys running in triple SLI and the system is being custom cooled by various Swiftech components and parts that keep the system running cool at all times.

The custom fans on this thing are amazing loud and fast and will quite literally cut off your finger if one is not careful as they are modified industrial fans that blow more air through the system than anything I have ever seen before. You can manually adjust the lights and the color of the lights by way of a remote control unit and a key in the front of the Throne actually turns on the system. There is a voltage monitor right smack in the middle of the front panel that shows how many volts are being used by the system while its in operation. All the electrical elements have also been modified. All the way from the Hercules PSU and throughout the entire inside of the case as you can see in the pictures and video how nicely put together this system is. Doing this at home would take a mass amount of time and talent, not to mention mechanical aptitude that only comes with time and trial by design.

Overall you can see that many man-hours went into the building designing and finally building of the Throne Industrial and the effort was well worth the final product. We were fortunate enough to get to play with it for a bit and beyond how loud the thing was it was a very solid performer. Bob from BSMODS has won himself many an award for building systems such as this and the Throne Industrial is the latest notch on his gun belt. Nothing was spared as far as essential details go and that is what makes this damn thing so cool. If this could be bought I know some rich cats that would buy it just for bragging rights and to have what no one has had before.

The folks up there in Washington State where Bob and his crew are also do custom work for some folks and if you would like to see more of their work it can be found at this link here. Special thanks to Rosewill and EVGA for providing the main parts of this system as without support these projects would never live to see the light of day and just be dreams in someone’s head. I wish I had a system that looked this cool and I am hoping that a case that they are doing for me just looks clean and awesome as we are not in the same league as Bob when it comes to this stuff, but we are going to try and make something really nifty anyways. We will soon be having a mod contest of our own here on Tech OF Tomorrow by way of a new gallery we will be implementing very soon. I am jelly, how about you my friends? How well do you guys rate this system and do you feel its one of the best you have seen? I do and I really hope to see your replies in the comments below. Thanks for reading my peeps.
