Project: Defiant

I could only dream of building a PC as good looking as this (inside and out). I'm loving the sleeving and out of this world cable management +rep definitely mate.

@ shortalien how is that you managed to mount that ek block on a non reference 580? can I add this block to my lightning?

cheers

Thank you good sir. I'm happy you like it.

The MSI N580GTX uses a reference design PCB, it just has a non-reference cooler. As far as I know, there is not anyone that makes a specific block for the Lightning edition. Its sad, I bet that card would do some great overclocks if it had water on it.

OK, finally changed the fluid out. Got tired of waiting, but other mods are planned and will be done once I can afford them. For now it looks much better.

 

[Solidarity]

Is it just clear liquid? It's still looking good.

*drools all over self*

 

[ShortAlieN]

Feser One. Clear. I like it.

 

[ShortAlieN]

OK, so I has been working on a little something... haha, "little"

For now I tease you...

A quick comparison before I started into it....

And a couple of after shots...

Now I have to tear the computer down and do a few mods. Hopefully will have it back together before the weekend is over.

Lovely epic build and huge radiator

Is that a radiator for 180mm fans? planing to have it as external cooling then?

Edit: you fit it at the bottom right?

Yes its a magicool 3x180mm. I somehow managed to tuck it into the bottom of the case.

Thanks

I have not been able to get much time on building projects lately, but I was able to squeeze in a little time on it this weekend. Finally have the loop back together and is leak checking now. Time to work on some wire management.

Holy Crap that radiators huge! Any plans for sli?

 

[ShortAlieN]

Its mostly complete now. Still have to do the lighting in the case but everything else is looking quite nice. Tomorrow I shall do the lighting and hopefully get some good pictures taken for you all to see.

Here's a little something for now though.
