Newbie & New Build, "The Alcai Project"

[SkyLineSynergy]

Hi guys, new to the forum, did my introduction and said hello earlier this evening and now to introduce my new build which I am calling The Alcai Project (pronounced Al-Ky).

My previous build was a pre-built PC Specialist rig and craving my own spin on it I searched for a white case to match with my current growing white theme, I was on a budget and decided on the GameMax Falcon which has proved to be an incredible case to work with and MOD for the price.

I am aiming for a Rocket League theme in the future so fans were my first addition, blue and orange LED fans to represent the teams in RL. To follow I will be a adding a vinyl RL logo to the rear panel of the case. I didn't like the windowed panel that came with the Falcon so had an idea to use a cheap picture frame acrylic sheet to make the panel but didn't warm to the idea of drilling holes in it so I used magnetic strips with adhesive to stick the panel seamlessly to the ledge of the case. The PSU shroud will soon be wrapped with white glitter dust vinyl and a further panel will be made to tidy the right side of the MB.

The Asus GTX 1060 OC Dual is my newest addition to the build, the design I thought was very attractive to the eye and appeared to be the card that would fit in best with my case and theme....... I was right Shout out to "alpenwasser" for the cable braiding who's tutorial method I used.

With my i7 6700k at 4.5GHz I have decided not to push it any further as I am more than happy with it's current performance

Really nice and neat build you got there bud! Really liked the nice lighting you got going on in theres. What lights are you using and do they go all around the inside of the case?. Been on the search for some white lights myself, to give it a nice lit up of my shiny components etc

Thank you guys I'm really pleased with it too, still not completely finished, got to get the Rocket League theme going with a vinyl logo on the side and a water cooler instead of the cooler master one so just some tweaks to do. I got the LED'S off of eBay, 2meters of each colour I've used, blue, warm white and pure white and yes they go all the way around the inside of the case
