Project BeOrange [Caselabs SMH10-3x780Ti-OCforce-watercooled!]

[iSw3de]

My name is Lucas Gardebrand, Im 16 years old and living in Sweden
I've been into modding for a couple of years and this is my 3rd project, I want to share this one with you!

Why "BeOrange"? - Something more unique!

I always start off my projects by telling some of the plot behind the project and also about the name!
I thought that many systems out there are made with boring color combinations and are often just black or red.
I thought it would be nice if builds could be more colorful. Since Orange is my favorite color for coolant, fans and components, I named the project “BeOrange”

Let’s move over to the concept.

This build were designed to be extremely clean, but also to have stunning hardware and to be an eye-catcher. My first project were mid tower, my second was a HTPC, how's about something big? I also wanna try to go more "extreme" I'm saying i7 and tri-sli! The build will go in two colors, Black and Orange.

Wow! Subbed!

 

[Remmy]

Judging by the renders it looks like it should be good

Just the case box, you tease, you

 

[Conchubair]

looks like itll be great!
With that graphics budget though, why didnt you go X79?

Many have told me about this on this part. ^_^

• It wouln't fit, I will show you about this later
• I'm only 16 years old and it will get much cheaper this way.
• I cannot find any suiting motherboard that is so great looking

Thanks!

Ive seen plenty of builds on /r/buildapc with x79 board for roughly the same as a highend z87 one. Though I do understand now that you want an orange accented mobo

When you don't have the greatest budget and sponsors is involved you have to stick to what you get ^^ The only other MOBO I've been looking at is MSI BigBangII, altough, it does not fit. I doesn't have a mm space left

I was using mainly google sketchup and Creo

nice!

Thanks!

Stay tuned for another update today!

 

[SeraNoxa]

waiting for that update !

 

[Permafrost]

Subbed!

 

[alpenwasser]

Woohoo, SMH10 baby!

UPDATE 13/12-13 Assembling the case!

Putting it all together, must have been at least 100 countersunk screws!* *
It is pretty heavy, even if it is aluminum! Not the optimal place to build at but I recorded the stuff while building so I needed the white table there ^^

This shows you one of the corners,*look how many, 7 of them in only one spot

How it looks when it is all done, a couple of hours later* :

I ordered this one with double windows, you will know why later!*

1 min 43 sec to build a case can't be bad:lol:

Looks crazy awesome. Some cracking Creo work too - I always find SolidWorks easier! Definitely subbed.

I'm learning Solidworks in school, much more simple, but not good for the real advanced stuff ^^ This isn't advanced stuff, but you know what I mean ^^
As my dad work full time with Creo this is what I've learnt :lol:

im a newbie to the forum's just thought i'd quote this and say solidworks is used for some advanced stuff for example i use to make wood wind instruments and we used solid works to design all our tools and instruments. its a very handy bit of kit and very easy to use :lol:

Well, It make some advanced things, but Creo it is when it comes to Cars, Shoes, Submarines, rockets, and most things you can think of :lol:
