Hornet - Bitfenix Raider Watercooled

[brianf1971]

going back now to finish a project I started some time ago, matx prodigy, was waiting on some parts for the case mod which have arrived so will be posting this one in the new year

As you can see needs allot of cleanup, it will have built in spearkers and a PICO projector with SLI 660TI's to make it a truely portable solution, it will use a noontev M100 Ketboard touch mouse, and I also have a Mimo Usb touch screen monitor which I may use, but finding a place to mount all this is going to be a challenge considering it's will have a 280mm and 200mm Rads.

can wait to see a build log of your unique prodigy build. hornet looks nice, minimal tubing, ttl style (except for the ram cooler)

 

[brianf1971]

Thanks Ram cooler is 100% for looks wanted the yellow tube to balance, the Prodigy log is on another site (I'm an Aussie), I will post complete pics of it in the rig gallery once done.

Thanks for everyone's comments, as to the GPU's and Crossfire bridge not a lot can be done about them, I could wrap the bridge in carbon fiber but in real life I personally don't think it looks that out of place, I got the first GPU block long before the color scheme came up and wanted the cards to match, this system is about performance as much as looks so I'm OK with the GPU compromise, I did contemplate either XSPC Razor GPU blocks or EK but wan't 100% happy with with of these, the bridge on XSPC looks naff and what can I say about circles, plus backplates were a must for nice straight cards.

My one issue ATM is finding LED's that are actually yellow, all the ones I have purchase so far are actually amber, I am currently searching and may attempt to color some white ones.

You could always buy white and put yellow jells over them.

Yellow & Black... looks great, though I think the yellow fans are a bit O.K.

[BPRSM]

That's one of the best looking rigs I've ever seen
I wouldn't have thought yellow would look so good!

 

[brianf1971]

Always wanted to see a decent Black & Yellow rig well yours is better than decent its (no such word) that's how nice it is lovely job.

 

[Vampyrion]

First thing that came to mind when looking at your wonderful rig, "Hey that's Bumblebee from Transformers!" The color scheme fits well, nice job.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Fantastic looking rig and the colour combination is to die for.

 

[Liarma]

im a big fan of the way you did the slim dvd drive, really creative!

 

[GUNMAN]

[alienware]

Love it. Only thing better than yellow and black is orange and black

 

[alpenwasser]

So glad gunman dug up this thread from when before I joined (I have been digging through the rig gallery and project logs from before my time, but it's not exactly an efficient process :lol: ).
Really like it!
