Spectre 3.0 Ardus Limited-Edition has a unique distribution plate with 4 layers, a front clear layer, then a black layer, then a grey tinted layer and then a black frosted layer on the back. The original theme idea for Ardus was inspired by the spacecraft from the 2021 Dune film. It is also inspired by fighter aircraft such as the F22, F35 and others. The frosted black layer on the back of the distribution plate is divided into four separate pieces which can be removed to be modified. These sections can be laser etched, painted, and we will be releasing different colored sets. The case can be used without the black frosted rear layer, and then it becomes a unique dark version of Spectre 3.0. The distribution plate has twice the reservoir volume of the stock Spectre 3.0. There is a glowing logo on the back of the distribution plate with the limited-edition number. The PSU Side shroud has a new design with a glowing logo and more detailed machining. The PSU Front Shroud also has a more detailed design, and it glows from an integrated ARGB LED strip. The case has an updated motherboard tray with less detail and cutouts because this detail has been replaced by the PowerBoard which is a special version with aesthetics to match the case.
All the metal panels are custom painted in a special custom graphite (dark silver) metallic with a matte clear coat. The cases are painted personally by Daniel Cannon (Owner Director of Singularity Computers), using DNA Paints.
Spectre 3.0 Ardus PowerBoard Limited Edition comes included with a special version of the PowerBoard which has updated aesthetics to match the case. The PowerBoard is a PCB integrating 24pin, PCIE and EPS along with PWM and ARGB Hubs and LEDs. The LEDs are positioned around the perimeter of the PowerBoard to optimally light up the distribution plate. Essentially the PowerBoard is a distribution plate for cables also integrating other features and functions. It is a new method for cables and cable management making cable management no longer necessary and the cables much cleaner.
Limited Edition: Limited to 30 cases.
Note: Spectre 3.0 Ardus is fully compatible with Spectre 3.0 Elite.

Features
Integrated Liquid Cooling Features:
Reservoir, D5 Pump Top, D5 Pump Cover, Fill Port, Drain Port, roughly half of the cooling loop.
PowerBoard Integration:
The PowerBoard is a PCB integrating 24pin, PCIE and EPS along with PWM and ARGB Hubs and LEDs. The LEDs are positioned around the perimeter of the PowerBoard to optimally light up the distribution plate. Essentially the PowerBoard is a distribution plate for cables also integrating other features and functions. It is a new method for cables and cable management making cable management no longer necessary and the cables much cleaner.
Reduced build time due to integration:
With the pump and reservoir combo and roughly half of the loop integrated there is less assembly to be done. Also, less fittings and tube are needed.
Cable management is also quicker, just clip your cables into the integrated cable combs and they are all perfectly aligned.
Integration Cost Component:
A large portion of the case cost is due to the integration. These are components you do not have to purchase for your build. The pump and reservoir combo, less fittings, less tube, no cable combs, or cable management components.
Compatibility:
Theoretically the more integration the less compatibility. For Spectres integration the position of each integrated port and cable routing hole was carefully chosen based on statistics and our experience.
Integration & Optimization:
With the integration we did not just develop a case, we also had to develop all the integrated components. This meant that we could focus more on optimization than would normally be possible. The integrated loop routes in Spectre allow for more flow than 16mm tubes.
The pump top was designed for the D5 pump, maximizing flow to and from the distribution plate.
The reservoir was designed to remove air as quickly as possible making the loop easier to fill.
The fill port is at the highest point on the back for the case and the drain point at the lowest point.
The cable channels and combs are designed for 4mm sleeved cables. They can be clipped in very quickly and there is far less work to do for clean cable management.
High End Components:
Spectre 3.0 fits XL-ATX motherboards and has 8 expansion slots. It is designed for fit up to two RTX 3090s. It can fit the largest PSUs up to 220mm. For the cooling system it can fit 2x 360mm radiators 60mm thick with a single set of fans or 2x 360mm radiators 40mm thick with two sets of fans, and the powerful D5 pump.
Radiator Adjustment:
The radiator mounts have a large range of adjustment to help with port alignment to the distribution plate.
Storage:
Spectre 3.0 has 6x 2.5” Drive positions. Two are on the top of the PSU shroud and there are four inside of the PSU shroud. The two on top of the PSU shroud cannot be used with vertically mounted GPUs.
Manufacturing & Quality
Every component of Spectre is CNC machined from a solid block of material. With the level of transparency and being an open case, we wanted it to be a celebration of the raw materials. There is no hidden or back side, and this also goes for the components being installed. Due to this we selected the most high-end materials manufacturing process. The Distribution Plate is machined on a CNC router built from thick sheets of cast acrylic. It is hand assembled with silicone gaskets and stainless-steel fasteners, and pressure tested. The metal components are machined with Extreme Precision from solid blocks of 6061 aluminum on a CNC mill then sand blasted and anodized.
Design & Engineering
We are all experienced system builders at Singularity Computers having built high end water-cooled systems for over 15 years. Our approach to product development begins with a need for our own builds and so the origin is always function. From there we start to build ideas around this function and the aesthetics and everything else follows. The original idea for Spectre came from our years of building highly customized, high end water-cooled systems and trying to reduce the exceptionally long build times and complexity. Our approach to development is very hands on, we are doing real world testing every day.
The aesthetics of Spectre originate from its function with one of the main aesthetic features (the lighting) being something only made possible by the integration. We wanted the case to look skeletal and almost transparent enough to (in a way) disappear around the components. The metal components have been designed to enhance this with an extreme focus on detailed and complex multi sided CNC machining.

Read more answer nowAsked by Szymon on March 11, 2022 6:27 amAnswered by the admin Yes we have done this a few times. If you drain the loop down a little bit from the fill port while the case is upside down then you wont get much coolant coming out when you remove the pump.

It is compatible but you will need our 24pin 90 degree adaptors which will be listed on our store within a few days. The Z690 Classified fits the aesthetics of Ardus very well it would be my first choice. Also the recessed 24pin connector will really help with cable routing.
