As I thought I need to show the final build only and assumed if the build is complete, all cables connected, that it's a given that the thing runs. Today I looked in the discord channel and it turned out, several people requested that I upload a video of the build running. Some even doubted that the whole thing can't support water.

Furthermore I connected the RGB cables to show that all components are running fine, although I really don't like the lights. In my opinion the build looks way better without lights. And I also open the box in the video so everyone can see that everything is in there. I guess it's quite obvious why I didn't show the inside of the box before, because once everything is in, it is really a huge mess ;-)

Here is the link to the video:

The final design
The introduced Intel Brain-Lab is a high security artificial intelligence science lab of the future. To keep new inventions and ideas safe the critical components float above the main building, with very few connections only in the center of the building. This makes unauthorized access to the components very difficult. The main building is furthermore secured with large metal spikes.
The lab utilizes artificial intelligence, powered by the future Intel i9x CPU and an Intel AI accelerator GPU, powered by the Intel Ze UHPG (Ultra high performance graphics), a successor of the Intel Xe GPU technology.
Data is stored using Intel Optane extreme Solid-State-Drives, while new inventions are stored in an Intel Idea Storage container, which is a new Intel Optane Liquid-State-Drive, utilizing Intel Smart Storage Technology. Bad ideas are simply discarded with a drainage on the side of the building.

Design changes from the initial submission
Compared to the initial submission a few design changes were made due to various reasons. The make the build more compact, the number of liquid containers was decreased from two to one, and the reservoir was mover from the side of the motherboard to the front of the motherboard. This way the whole build got shorter.
The large 200mm fan on the left was also scraped because I think it didn't look good. I had the fan already mounted on metal legs but then decided to remove it.
The decals were also changed and adapted. I based the design on various presentations from Intel, to keep the build close to the modern esthetics of the Intel brand.
Initially I planned to build the base box from stainless steel or aluminum but decided to go for acrylic as it is easier to laser cut. I added several fins inside the box to make the box strong enough to hold the build.
Finally, although the would be able to just rest on the power and cooling connectors, I added one aluminum stand in the center of the build, just to be sure it holds up ok. Although I got the components for free, they are still worth a lot of money and I didn't want risking to break them.

Finally, the first complete assembly was done, although the whole build was still lying on the table. I have to admit, I was a little nervous standing the finished build up and see the motherboard and the components float above the case.

The base is a custom build case. The box is made of acrylic, and holds the PSU and water cooling pump in the front and a radiator in the back. Two 140mm fans are mounted on the backside of the case.

From the top the pipes and rods for water cooling and power go into the box. The power rods basically are straight extension with female connectors inside the case. From there the standard PSU cables can be used. The pipes are screwed into pass through adapters and in the inside flexible pipes can be used to connect the pump and radiator with the pipes.
Furthermore a drainage port for the water cooling system is located on the side of the case.

The top of the case hold spikes. A lot of spikes. I have no idea how many, but they are all screwed in with tiny headless M3 set screws which were a test for my patience ;-)

Next came the GPU. It too got a water cooling block and stickers. Also, I made a custom bracket and screwed it in with blue aluminum washers. Unfortunately the water block didn't have a completely smooth surface, trapping lots of air, leaving some bubbles.
