still got plenty to do! but its all started to comet together now!!

My back panel has been sent off, im having that jazzed up by a friend of mine, so i think that will probably be my next update! Im also in the process of getting the touch screen to work with my raspberry pi that ive tucked away in the front of the case. Im not great with linux though, so i really am struggling! hopefully, il get the drivers installed one day and get it all working lol!
 
Haha, thanks guys!!

I should copyrighted that saying lol ;) nah, at the moment the only thing I actually have in warranty is the psu. That's only because the cables didn't reach where I needed them to go on their own so I didn't see the point in taking it apart when I needed to make extensions anyway.

I'm away for work now for 3 days, but il see if I can get a sleek preview of my back panel asap. I'm really looking forward to receiving that back! It should be epic.
 
Awesome build, love the look of mayems aurora, surprised yI don't see it more often in builds. cannot wait to see more progress on this build.
I love your part choice (photon res, ducky KB, XSPC blocks) it is looking fantastic.
 
Nice job mate! I realy like this white and orange theme. I wolud make some more black in it to give a biger contrast but its awsome anyway ;)

I hope your mobo will work perfectly after that risky mod... :)

:p
 
Just read through this whole thread as I couldn't stop after the first glimpse of this project.

What an amazing job with some incredible mods. Well done, mate.
 
May I ask one thing because and that was my idea too but I give up to use Photon.
Is it possible to turn Photon upside down with good flow? I saw people have problems to fill reservoir... I mean on flow, is it OK. First I plan exactly same only with other X-Top.

Thanks bud, The aurora is an awesome looking fluid, but at the moment its a1 which isnt a long lasting fluid. A2 is out now mind, which is a lot better, i do have 2.5 litres of it on my "mayhems" shelf, but id need to dye it, i have all the dyes but not sure if i have the time.... il probably just use a couple of bottles of a1 again.

it seems to work fine yes :D




So Insomnia 52 is just around the corner so im just about to get this build ready to take!!

so i sent off my side panel a friend of mine who dabbles in airbrushing...

he sent me this back <3

I still need to fill my reservoirs properly, sort out the front screen and do the LEDS again (for some reason they didnt work after i put them all in after the tests -.-)

not long to go now though!!
 
I really would have preferred to see the side panel all in white with that logo and splash. I can see what you were trying to achieve but you need more tones and depth in the orange to get the effect you want.

Everything else is outstanding.
 
I am not a fan of orange so I don't care for the color you picked, but the way you did it looks nice (just with a different colour). I would have taken the paint off of the capacitors, chips and just painted the board itself, it would have looked awesome.
It seems like you have done very little modding, (just a couple of cuts in the case) and this project is mostly just a repaint. I still prefer the original look of components.
Nice work though.
