If you do red and black themed sata cables too it will definatly look great the other way around !

I was just planning on having red cable for the SSD and black for the HDs (6gb/s vs 3gbs

)

 

[wotevajjjj]

absolutly love this, wish i had the patience to do a build like this, i just trow stuff together, you make your stuff.

Love it !

This is just amazing.

Seriously great job!

you sire are a steely eyed missile man. Awesome Job. I am considering getting back into hardcore modding again but my budget suxs for it lol. I have a couple old build logs on another forum from when I did this before one I am extremely proud of the other well the thought was there but it lacked dearly IMHO in exacution.

But anyway SIMPLY AMAZING JOB!!!!!!!

Before cracking on with the mootherboard prep I wanted to clear up a few odds and sods so 'carbonised' the GPU's to match the build:

Next up was the window mod.

The case came with a mesh panel:

but I prefer perspex, black tinted of course:

Needs a good polish with anti static but looks sweet in situ

.

Time to finally start building. I seem to have spent so long preping and modding stuff

.

Anyway here she is, the Rampage III Extreme:

The perfect motherboard to match the case and build:

After prepping the motheboard by removing the stock 'cement' with some MX-3 I set about mounting the heatsink, Prolimatech Super Mega:

Love the mounting hardware of the Super Mega. Easy but with 70lbs of pressure thanks to the optional black screws it should be effective

.

Dunno if the copper fins will make that much difference but I managed to get the cooler for the same price as the all aluminium megalahems so I'm not not complaining:

Mounted:

I originally had the Bitfinex Spectre 120mm fans planned for the HS but it made it look too black so I plumped for Prolimatech Vortex 140mm in push pull:

Memory in situ:

Sadly the board and tray together wouldn't fit into the case in one go thanks to the size of the cooler so I had to hide cables as I went rather than do a big cable tidy at the end of the build:

I also used the same fans on the intake door:

I can't too see the entire thing fully completed.

I'm already impressed.

And wondering what I can do to mine.

xD

Detail dude!

 

[daantjuh44]

Still looking great !

 

[w3bbo]

For the lighting in this build I was just going to let the LED fans do their bit but to add a few minor highlights to the rest of the build I decided to add an LED string, hidden behind the motherboard:

With that done it was pretty much plain sailing apart from hiding all of those cables I spent so long braiding!!!

Finito!!!

That is some HC porn.

 

[daantjuh44]

This is one awesome rig !

Can you upload some pics of the rig in the dark ?

I would love to know how that motherboard lighting looks !

+1 for low-light pics.

Nice work Webbo, very clean and stylish.

Carbon fibre and red is a dream combo here.

 

[adamjamesroe]

That RIG looks amazing, maybe could so with a few cable ties around the pcie cables though.

 

[jonowee]

This Project Logs sub-forum is absolutely inspirational.

 

[Calico]

woah the carbon fibre vinyl covered parts look mint!

The red and black is also a killer combination!
