Project: Caselabs M8

[| raVen |]

I will be start building new system for me in that beauty But it will take some time, to finish it. I don't know if I should put carbon vinyl on it, as I did on my last 2 builds, I'm pretty sure that I will put some carbon inside the case, but I think that I should leave outside that's how it is. I will try to get some window panels for this case, in near feature.
I'm planning to use 3 or 4 360mm rads. I know that I don't have to use that many but I will do it because I can Well if I want I can fit 7 but that just tooo crazy even for me
Also don't know if I will stay will all black and white theme, or I should add some blue accents, but I'm sure that you will help me with that guys
Also let me know what you think and what kind of ideas you have
I have couple more accessories for the case but can't be bother to make a picture of every single one of them

I love the look and quality of the caselabs stuff, as well as the flexibly and customization of it. I also really like the sort of cube/wide stance look. I would definitely do a build in an M8 for myself and I would have no extra stuff on the top or bottom just the main section.

Looking forward to seeing more!

Yeah the quality is just GREAT! I LOVE that case
With casters, pedestal, and extended roof is higher than my desk
My Mother call it ''Little fridge''
BTW I have a couple question, should I use white or blue LED fans for the case? For radiators I will be using my GT A15, cuz they are amazing. I have couple of SP 120 QE, but I don't really like sound that the fan motor makes( I know I'm really picky right know, but I cannot help it). Also should I use 3 or 4 rads?
I just done some carbon fibre work on switch plate Anyone want to see it? Or just wait till I do something bigger?

congratulations, raVen (dirty dawg) on your new addition.
white or blue LED? if the MPower is the mobo, prolly the white. kinda for some
showcase lighting effects.

Thanks mate
I think that I will do the same white and black theme, they are not to many white and black rigs.
Now I need to find some nice fans with white LED

Caselabs case!!!

I seen you'r STH10 I was thinking about STH10 for myself but I decided that M8 will suit me better.


BTW


I will sleeve this cables(they look terrible), but first need to get some nice good quality sleeving, any recommendation for sleeving, guys???

 

[dipzy]

MDPC-X sleeving the best

Little update.
Since I been of today I thought that will good opportunity to get some work done
So there we are, I spend about 3.5h doing that, and its still not completely done, I have to fix some edges, and make sure that all carbon is nice and tidy.
Also the front of pedestal will be covered in white carbon( but I just run out, so have to get some more on ebay) , also side panels will be white as well, but not those that I have right now( I need to get some with windows), and I think that inside of case will be fully in white carbon( well not 100% fully), or I shoud do mix of black and white carbon inside as well?

Enjoy pics and let me know what you think

 

[airdeano]

Just fixing the last bits and black carbon will be done tonight
Othelo??
Don't be jelly

The carbon looks great!

 

[Spiderz]

Lovely case though surprised you don't have even the normal sized window on the side panel. The black and white works really nicely though.

Thanks dude, that's not the end of the carbon... I still need to do white one

Thanks mate The window'SS will come don't worry


I will be putting some carbon inside the case as well, but should I just use white carbon or mix it with black????
Thanks

Will the parts be the same as those in your sig?

 

[dipzy]

The carbon looks great, especially the white grills, they stand stand out nicely from the carbon

the pedestal would look nice with white carbon as you said.
With the internal, i think white would be nice since rads, motherboard etc will black most likely and will give a better look imo.

Pretty much yes.
No point for me to change CPU, since is still great( I will overclock it to 5ghz, but will have to move volts bit more, and now I'm running only 1x 360 rad + 2x 7970, I run it on 4,8 with lower voltage, to keeps temps nice and still be able to run fans on low speed)
GPU's: Crossfire is enough for me, I see no point to go for 3x 7970:lol:
I will deffo buy soundcard- Asus Xonar Essence STX.
Maybe new SSD and bigger hard drive.
Don't know what else I can upgrade in that system

Thanks dude! I spend all together about 4h doing carbon:lol::lol::lol: And will spent another 4 or 5 doing white one( maybe even more...)
Yeah I love looks of grills too
Rads doesn't have to be black... I planning to do something with them
Same as CPMFW I will get rid of yellow accents from motherboard, but I don't know yet if I will paint them or just put some white carbon. As he said that the metal plates are connected to the heatsink using tape..., I could just put carbon all over them, not only on those yellow stripes, but need to have a look how it will end up
Front of pedestal will get white carbon, and side panels as well, don't worry I will get window'S there
Also I need to have a look when I find some more time after christmas( now I'm quite busy) to check if I can turn off those blue lights ( CPU Phase LED's) completely, because now, all the time I have to open MSI Control Center, and turn them off every time I turn on PC, which is quite annoying for me
I will also use this stuff for sleeveing instead of MDPC.

And I need to replace switches for power and reset, I want both with rings and both to have white LED's
