Orca

Oh, we all do understand that itch... sometimes you just gots-ta scratch it.

What will you be doing with orca? disassemble? sell? giveaway? or keep it as the great memorial it is?


Hate to be blunt but why should I give it away? lol

Some dick head will just take it apart or 'make it better' anyways.
 
It's my personal opinion that Orca should have the fluid changed and possibly go to black tubing with clear fluid (to retain the black/white theme). Then it should just stay as that. it was built as a momento for your Mum and I think it would be a shame to see it get stripped down.

Something new is always nice, but I think Orca should stay as it is :)
 
Pretty sure this has already been suggested but why not make a smaller companion to Orca? If not, maybe get a HAF XB or a case that isn't hugely popular , get it sprayed white and do an awesome custom loop(or even make the best looking air cooled system you can somehow)? The reason I suggest a not so well known case is that I thought you might want a challenge :P.

Personally if I had the skill/guts I'd get a cheap but good case (e.g.)and see what I could do with it but I know that'd be quite a pain to do .

Also, what sub said. Keep Orca as it's a nice memorial.

Fully agree with this.

It is a really nice build and should stay with Tom.
 
As others have said, Orca should most certainly stay with Tom as a display piece if nothing else. Especially with the personal significance of the build to Tom.

That said I am always interested to see a brand new build from you Mr Logan. 750D anyone ;) ?
 
I agree with the others keep Orca, even if it sits in the front room on display, its a memorial piece.

You should also build a new rig but i reckon you should go CaseLabs id love to see what you do with something so customizable and with all the endless possibilities

I really don't think you should, if it were me, I'd keep it as a memorial.

I simply inquired as to the thought process of the TinyTom in regards to Orca's future, as said thought process is unknown to myself (and others, who may be wondering the same thing).
 
I wont be selling it and never going to give it away I could never trust someone to leave it as it is.

Lets face it the SSD's alone are worth £1k :p
 
Change out the shit coolant and keep it as is,this is a build with a reason,not a daily driver or general pron search machine.

Its a personal thing,no explanation nor reasons needed.
 
You said in the very beginning that Orca was meant to be more of a commemorative build and it most definitely accomplished that. If you choose to do another build to use as your daily driver then more power to you. Your build log videos were the reason I originally subscribed so either way I would love to see you build in the 750D. with the cooling issues that Orca is having personally I would put Orca in a special place to remain as a commemorative piece and build myself a new computer.
 
Well Orca was already a beauty of a rig. I'm seriously eager to see what would be coming next. I assume you're going to try and top the looks of Orca, the replacement is probably going to be MENTAL.
 
To jump all the pics to the back for people

So its time for the final photos of the old girl.... Interim has gone and Orca is in her rightful place!
