MSI Krait - low cost build

[Bartacus]

Nice job Tom! For the cost effectiveness, you could have gone with a vinyl wrap. I have a huge tube of stuff that would fit the bill perfectly (black/white marble pattern). Cheap stuff, but looks sweet (although I never used it). One of those "seems like a great idea when drunk" kinda things.

I'd be scared to press the power button in case it bit me

I had a Royal Python once and it was bitey lmao. Never bit me though

Its really cools stuff... I like this texture even if I never thought that snakeskin texture
could be look great on any other creature. But it fits fine into the Krait theme.

I'm not a huge fan of black and white builds, don't really personally see the eye candy with them. All personal preferences though.

Looking very clean and slick overall though, love the balanced coloring on the inside part of the case. Well done Tom!

Oh look! It's snake skin! Someone needs to make more snakeskin cases so women will buy them! Wooooo

Tom; Not sure how the custom graphics exactly fit in with Low Cost build idea but it sure looks the part!

I've checked and it's allowed, I wouldn't go for one personally either.

Does look lush, but I think you've blown the budget...

Wrap is too cheap and looks horrid where its so thick.

This would cost someone around £100 to have done and while its a big investment it makes it stand out from the crowd and not just a plain B&W case.

I knew some people would see it as Marmite but hydro film wise this was the best option I had, the smaller snakeskin design was far too busy so I went with the chunkier bolder design

Until MSI, PARVUM and JR23 bring the actual hype yeah i'm rocking the KRAIT rig, when I can make it work lol

Yeah it looks much better than wrap and I definitely think the bold pattern was the way to go too. It feels like it needs some little grey accents now, white ringed Corsair's all round maybe?

Go to give it fresh eyes next week I think, have a few bits I need to tick off my 'real life' list this weekend

 

[Bartacus]

Oh it looks FAR better than wrap for sure. My only point was the cost, since this was a budget build. Love the pattern on the hydro stuff too.
