Thanks eq

Its face is complete ! I think it looks rather groovy lol ! :-

And with the flash on - the colour changes again !! :-

 

[Colossous]

A bit more done before bed !

Hardware :-

And software !! :-

 

[Havok]

WOW, that looks awesome! You can defiantly tell that you've put a lot of consideration and work into this, I can't wait to see the finished article

 

[Colossous]

Cheers Havok, it owes me many hours lol !



Got lots of assembly and wiring done today !

No, its not a spoiler on the bottom of the case !

Its my Hdd and some not so pretty wiring !!

Side 1 so far !

And the other side - those wires will dissapear like magic lol !!

The story round the back !

The water loop next and some testing !

 

[Havok]

One of the main things I love about this is your colour scheme, Black and red gets my vote any day, especially the marbled cherry effect you've got here.

The other thing I like is your very hands on approach, and that wiring for your HDD made me smile. Out of sight, out of mind because its underneath? Or are you going to tidy it up anyway?

Lol, thinking about tidying it but its quite cool knowing theres a bit of mess there !!

Well, its been a long day and i got a fair bit done ! The tubings on but not secured and ready for testing ! The hard drives underneath (think i might move it back out of sight - what d'ya think ?) so that i could stealth up and de-clutter the case llike this :-

Neither side finished yet but you get the idea !!

Rest time !!

Maybe you should hide it underneath, if only for symmetry reasons, and then you can lord over people who look inside and ask where your HDDs are

Any plans of tinted water? Maybe red dye?

Ye, i think i'm going to hide it !! I've got black Feser to go in the loop, test tomorrow then see if she fires up lol !

 

[Colossous]

Filled the loop and done some testing, few things to change (bought some RED led's that turned out to be blue (AAHH) - teach me to test them 1st !! Pleased with the loop for my 1st w/cooling job, i know it could have been shorter tube wise but i wanted it neat too !

And the Dragon is becoming a bit of a theme - had to cover the DVD writer afterall !

And a snippet with the lights out !!

 

[Havok]

That first pic in the dark is awe inspiring!

I wasn't sure abut the black tint when you mentioned it but seeing it is a whole different thing, its so ominous in a very good way, like your rig runs on crude oil

 

[PP Mguire]

Very very nice build man. But i really think you should change those LEDs lol. You need red yo.

 

[D-Cyph3r]

Very nice man, I went for black and red with my cube aswell.

 

[Colossous]

Cool duder - is that clones former case i see you have there ?

 

[D-Cyph3r]

Aye, she's done the rounds. Still not finished though, got everything I need for the GPU loop, just not sure I want to keep my GX2. :S

 

[Colossous]

Lol. the upgrade itch ! I've been thinking of changing my Gx2 as it goes !!
