The GS30 original dock, big and bulky or just full of potential?

[Meaker10]

Firstly I'd like to point out optimus works on the internal display now on the original dock, no fuss on the drivers, it just works.

Next slap a titan X inside the box

Works fine as expected! Ok so next cut a 120mm fan hole in the bottom:

Pop in a 120mm fan to check the mounting and a 500W gold rated SFF PSU:

Now catch a wild water block and attach it to the GPU:

Check the parts don't leak and sneak in some benchmarking:

Get it in there with some messy cabling:

Tidy that cabling up and hook all the fans and pump up to the GPU for fan control:

Do some more benching:

Now set up some software lighting off the GPU too

Now all that is left is shaping that front hole more and adding some decoration to the front .
