[Project Log] GREEN MOLECULE (modded Fractal Design ARC Mini R2)

I think the inside looks lovely. Very well planned out and clean.

But I still stick by my opinion of the outside. It's far too mellow and does not reflect the contents.

Thanks mate. I hope the outside green will tie in well with the UV lights. I dunno buy I really like the outside green colour, it seems to reflect differently in the pics. It has a bluish green look to it and that's why I think it will go well with the UV lights.

Sweeet!!! SLI bridge is a nice highlight - surprised its taken them so long to produce these kinda things...

Thanks mate :D. Yea I think SLI bridges like this are a very nice touch

Very tidy dude! Nicely executed and wrapped beautifully in the case, it's all coming together perfectly.

Thanks a lot mate :D

Hmmmmmmm hnggggggg

Sorry, I have to say I think the SLI bridge sticks out a bit too much for my liking...
Maybe if the grey bits were white?

Yea I'm still debating this mate, other people have suggested the same thing :). They only reason why I would not mod it is because from my understanding they are a pretty limited run from Nvidia and I would like to preserve its original look in case I will want to use it in a different build in the future.

Though some white plasti dip should be easy to do and then clean up in the future if need be :). It looks quite easily to take apart

Looks pretty sweet so far! Can't wait to see the tube runs.

Thanks a lot mate :D

This build will surely win some competitions. Your attention to detail is dope

Thanks a lot mate :D

Totally with you on that one. It needs modding !

Yea I might just plasti dip the grey parts white :)



Thanks a lot for the kind words guys! Appreciate it :D

Hey guys,

Here it is all tube up and ready to go :D

It didn't take much tubing to get it done as you can see. I like to stick to just 90 degree bends and keep things clean, it's also pretty easy to do :). It should look sweet once filled!

Thanks for checking it out!

wow, thats some lovely bends right there! :D I like how you didnt just use 90 degree fittings and had straight tube in between, but actually went through all the hassle and bent the tubes like that. Looks awesome mate!

Thanks mate! Yea I'm not one to use fittings for bends. I love the look of the bends and I like doing them :). Though fittings look good in some cases, I will give that a go one day

Fantastic work mate, also I think the sli bridge go's well with he mossfets on the mobo

Thanks mate! The SLI bridge is awesome, so glad I got it :D

Hey guys,

Here are the pics of the completed loop, in light and dark as well as with the UV LEDs!

Quite a lot of pics incoming !!!

Sorry I took so long to get these up, been caught up with other things and I'm about to start two new builds too!

Still a few things left to do on this build though:

- Fix the side panel on the left side where you can see the case frame through the window, will add some vinyl to cover it
- Mod the Nvidia SLI Bridge, I have white Plasti Dip in now
- Get new SSDs, mod them to fit the theme and mount them in the back

I will do the final photo shoot of the build once all that is done. But don't wanna keep everyone waiting so here is the build as it is now.

Epic! It's been a fantastic build log dude, you done a proper top job on this, really hope to see more from you in the future. Kudos to you, Icemodz and Clockwerk Case Mods.
 
Looks damn nice to me! Nice clean tube runs, nice mods, what's not to like? I even hate the color green and still like this build. :)
 
I have arrived.

Haha glad to have you along mate :D

Thanks a lot mate, appreciate it :D. Yup, lots more to come :D

The RED is a little off putting but what the hell, pretty awesome build. Cant wait for future builds.
+1 Good job

Thanks man :D. The red is coming from the post code read out on the MB, I might do something in a future revision of this build. It doesn't bother me that much in order to tear the whole build down for it haha

I love the way this turned out , The build does you credit looks STUNNING mate

Thanks :D

That is one damn fine looking build. I'm usually not much for UV lighting and effects, but it looks really good.

Thanks :D

It does look much better this way and I'm glad I painted it in the end!

Getting the final parts next, new SSDs!!!

Cheers,

Alex

 
The old color didn't bother me, but now that I see it matching the rig it looks sooo much better.
 
Looks awesome mate, much better for this build and only temporary if you want it to :)

Thanks mate! Yea that's the good thing about PlastiDip, I sprayed it on some other things as well just so I can see how you can peel it off, it's awesome stuff haha

That is just the cherry on top! Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Hahaha thanks a lot mate :D

Thanks mate. Yea it didn't bother me that much either but it's the small details that count :D
