Welcome to project: Deadpool
header.jpg

This project is based on the ever famous deadpool comic character above.

First of all, Huge thanks to fractal Design and TTL for selecting me as 1 of your 5 modders for the competition.

And a huge thanks to
38-leo_manu.jpg
for jumping in the boat and sending me out some awesome Blitz series RAM for the build.

I'm not good with renders so don't blame me when it doesn't turn out exactly like the render. I'll get some done this weekend.
Here are the renders of what it will look similar too, no guarantee's it'll turn out identical to these

So, let's take a look at what were working with

Fractal Define S - Case

**What's going to happen to the case**
First thing is first, i've ordered some red and black leather.
This will be used to cover the entier case (alike deadpools suit)
Strange that i'm using leather huh ? :P
two slits will be cut out of the top back of the case, and two samurai swords placed through them as if the case is a sword holder
Inside the case, there will be a custom made power supply cover made in jet black, with the word "FRACTAL" cut out and then the same word in red placed in.
This will be backlit so the name fractal glows

Fractal also sent out their Kelvin S24 Cooler

**What's going to happen to the cooler**
First of all the block will be re-sprayed a nice deep red and then the radiator matching
i was going to change the tubing, but no need to ruin the cooler.

Fractal also included 2 pretty nice 120mm VENTURI fans

**I'll repray these to match the build**

All together now

Finally, here's a run down on components. (Pictures will follow once i've decided)

Confirmed parts
Avexir Core DDR4 Red RAM
Dark power pro 11 1000w 80+ Platinum
i7 6700k
red/black braided cables

ASUS ROG VIII Hero
ASUS Strix 980Ti
Corsair SP red fans

Unconfirmed parts


i want to use LED lit fans for this build, fractal don't make them, so i'm forced to go with another company for them
Here's a quick look at machine with the products

12036774_944626232253110_4009983793830486618_n.jpg


Yes there is cardboard holding up that Strix 980Ti.. Thing is far too tail heavy.
One of thing i always add to my case mods is this little fan extension box, it's a serious life saver.

nice dude, i look forward to seeing where this goes :)

EDIT: also really liking what you done with the cpu block :)

Haha, i just wanted to throw in some more ROG while deciding on what MB and GPU to use. Will decide tomorrow if i'm going with gigabyte or ASUS.
CPU block is just a sticker, not done any painting as of yet :)

let me guess Gigabyte GA-Z170X-GAMING 7?

if only i have the money for skylake, that would be the mobo i would be going for if the review is good....

i'm not entirely sure myself, if i had the cash... G1 all the way. I'll see tomorrow whats on sale and whats not.
 
love this case, will get it for christmas :)

You really should!
I honestly don't know why i never bought this case, ended up with the phanteks pro M, the Define S craps all over the Pro M in so many ways.
The only thing that could make it a better case is a power supply cover/Shroud One of the first thing i'm making for this case :)
 
day 2: Little update
Need to clean down the red as it's covered in greasy finger prints that make it look awful.

Nice! Love what you did with the red panel. Neat ssd placement too

very nice dude! liking the panel vinyl wrapping you done there.

Thanks, was far easier to wrap the back panel than paint, especially when i only want the back panel in red.
As for the exterior, no wrapping there. leather sheets should be here tomorrow (fingers crossed) sewing machine job. Also the acrylic sheets are due any day now too to make the fan grills and PSU Shroud

Wrapping (Much safer option for people looking to do minor mods without causing damage)
I've got a large roll of red (Purchased from ebay for £2.00 and an art scalpel knife which is only a few quid also.
12143239_944926915556375_4642285599224968105_n.jpg

Once the size needed was cut out, i removed all the motherboard raisers and simplayed lay'd the vinyl onto the motherboard tray (Remember to ease out those air bubbles)
12039639_944926882223045_3334034247102256419_n.jpg


I also got my drill out using a size 3 drillbit, marked 2 dots where i needed to drill to mount my SSD (1 hole in each corner top and bottom) Make sure if your doing this to only use a size 3 drillbit as any bigger and your SSD will move around.
10696174_944926888889711_9220162822934245845_n.jpg


How it looks now that i've tidy'd it up
12043105_944929798889420_3560703396669832018_n.jpg

Removed all the greasy finger prints

You'll also notice i changed out the PCIE Slot covers to red ones. you can pick up packs of 5 online (ebay) for around £3.00

PSU is upside down


*edit*


With that much red in there you are going to need some white LED's to help it pop

i fell for that once before, not gonna happen again lol. Although the be quiet! PSU does look far better ''Upside down''

I've literally just tried using red cold cathodes and it glares too much.
thanks for the tip, i'll order in some white :)

Always white dude,I used to go with coloured cathodes and leant from my mistakes. I only use white leds now the give a more natural glow and accentuate the hardware.

Thanks, yeah i see some strips on ebay going really cheap, will do the job just fine!

While waiting for the plastics to arrive here's a rough idea of the PSU Shroud i'll be making

Looking good dude.

Silly question, will the Fractal writing be visible? Looking at my case it looks like the window is pretty high up.

Thanks.

no, it would be hidden by the frame of the window panel.
I am considering using a misty acrylic sheet as a window, just one whole sheet, screw it on to the frame.
All comes down to how much funds i have left.
