iLikeGreeeeen's "The Incredible Hulk"

[iLikeGreeeeen]

Hey guys,

Just a few photos of my rig. specs are in my signature, but if you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

any comments/criticisms/suggestions are all appreciated

also, check out the water cooling build log for this rig: The Incredibly Thirsty Hulk

DemciFlex filter

UPDATE: i replaced the fans on my H80 with noctua NF-P12's (dyed black) and hid all my drives to make room for my future pump and rad

Update: so I finally finished my assignment last night and popped the gtx570 in right away

Update: Sold my Phenom II and got a 2500K. Mobo looks pretty much the same (Gigabyte UD3), so everything looks somewhat the same (i like the all-black look). I also changed out the corsair low profile dimms for dominators. Decided to stick with the green cathodes for now until I begin my watercooling build log in a couple weeks which will use UV lighting for the coolant

Here are a few pics of the updated rig

new mobo and ram. you can see the switchbox for the cathodes stuck to the bottom of the optical drive

3.5" HDD hidden in an optical bay

new stickers + no more optical drive

forgot to clean off the dust before snapping the picture

looks pretty dark from the picture, but looks better in person!

Thanks!

Awesome rig mate, very clean on cable management and the green lighting finishes it off it nicely D

 

[tharionos]

well done !

i also have a optical drive so don't worry

It looks very stealthy with the all black theme and the lighting is awesome too.

P.S. Love the little green figurine on top of the PSU

I'm assuming you're talking about the black sleeved cables? I got them from a local store called "Canada Computers", but you can get them online as well

they're the Bitfenix Alchemy cables, LOVE THEM! totally worth it

(you can also get them directly from the Bitfenix homepage. just look under Products > Premium Modding > Alchemy Cables)

looks awesome but the blue pcb kinda ruins it for me, can you not get a backplate?

yeah that's the only complaint i have as well...I'm planning to get a backplate when I add water cooling and stick a nice water block on my card

I'm set on the EK-FC 6970 V2 water block and backplate...i just have to wait until May/June to start working again

Christ, I'm also planning on a very tidy 650D build myself, but this will be quite difficult to beat!

Very good indeed. Cable management doesn't get much better than this!

Nice to see another rig that isn't red or blue good work

 

[jits h]

How did you dye the Noctua fan shrouds black?

How did you dye the Noctua fan shrouds black?

i followed the guide made by Firat

. used one package of dye per fan instead of two cause black was easier to dye

 

[S_I_N]

now if noctua had fans that looked like that I'd most likely buy them lol I tried taking mine apart on my old d14 but one busted in the process.

did your frame crack while trying to pop it out? mine did that and i simply just dyed whatever part of the frame came off, cause the parts that stuck to the motor were going to be hidden under the sticker anyways

. performance wasn't hindered, but i did a fairly good job krazy gluing it back together

Is a really nice build and like the theme , but surely if you like green then nvidia is the way to go ?

 

[Azurite]

Nice build. Cant go wrong with these Corsair cases. So easy and nice to have good cable managment...
