Oh youre the one based in Somerset?
 
heya guys sorry its taken so long to do a update but i have been rather busy coming up to christmas plus been waiting on parts :D. this is going to be another small update with some more teasers of the case plus a little idea of whats going into the build. first up the case

parvum sent me out the case minus one panel as it needs to be changed slightly due to me changing my mind about certain components going into the build... im a pain in the ass :)

the engraving on the case and the midwall is just insane i love it i also like the little supprise they did for me of making the midwall frosted so i can fit some leds into the back of the case and hopefully get the whole wall to let the light travel through it :) here is a few pics

delivery day ... it was a good day :)


this is the front window finished :D ignore the pink colour its just the lighting in my room and the protective film on the window :)


the frosted midwall with romance is dead down the side of it :) can anyone else notice something different with this midwall aswell ? ;)


closeup of the romance is dead txt :)


thats all im going to show you of the case for now untill its buit .... but here is some rad airbush work on my ....welll rads ^^



grill test fit over the 360


in one of the final stages now :D


and last here are a few pictures of whats going into the build after my little shopping trip to overclockers the weekend :D

xspc love :D











sexy 170mm res



hope u enjoy these photos guys sorry they are all teasers but i am waiting for last parts so i can make a start on the actually build its killing me :)
 
Liking the skyline on the rad :)

Just wondering, but why are you adding so many elements from the album cover of Deep Blue when the song is from Killing With a Smile?
 
The 280xs have been sold to a friend I'm going to be helping him with his build. Feronix I just fancied doing a overall build romance is dead is my fave song of theirs but deep blue is my fave album :D
 
Fair enough, was just wondering! Guess my all time favourite song by them is Home is for the Heartless but I like all the albums equally ;)
 
heya guys back again and time for another update..

the second rad is now complete i am now awaiting them to cure so they can be posted to me here is a couple of shots of the 240 rad







it matches the artwork from the album so well im very happy with this design and think it will set the case off nicely ... which bbrings me to my next photos .... the case .... its here ;D!!






see through mid wall ;)










nice window for the gpus in the roof



talking of gpus here is whats going in mine



got to work on them





ooooohhhh the twins



the ram i shall be using







just a test fit to see how much room i have to play with .... not alot it seems :P



more pics to come im just waiting on a few more parts :D thanks for looking and another update soon :)
 
now that looks bloody good
will you be doing any art work on them waterblocks to be shown though the top window?
 
heya guys sorry it has been a while ive been waiting on parts ... still am had to order new parts and also came across a couple of problems but here we go my next update and i also have a new camera so slightly better pictures :D

first off i would like to show u my sexy waterblocks i used XSPC for everything apart from the mosfet and pump top and i have to say their waterblocks are awsome they were perfect on my build as the plates were removable and easy to work with

i had a little play about with some vinyl and came up with this :D



looks so nice with the plates on



the twins



ok so once my radiators and that turned up i came into my first problem....once i fitted the 240mm rad on the side wall with the corsair af fans ...the 360 wouldnt fit in the bottom as the fans were 2 thick. so i took them off... fit the 240 back in and then it the 360 in... fine all fits lovely. think to myself ill worry about cooling the 240 later lets get the fans on the 360.





now with these fans on and the grill ... i cant get the 8 pin in the mobo for the cpu. i have ordered some thinner fans as i have now relised this is what XSPC did on their custom parvum build so i shall be following in their footsteps on that one :) but it still doesnt help me with the 240 rad i mean look at the gap lol



ive been ripping my hair out on what to do all night and most of today trying to work out a way around it so any ideas welcome it was getting to the point i was like screw it they are going on the outside of the case :P.

so anyway next i dry fitted the gpus...look sexy they really do but the wont sit perfect in the pcie slots i think this is due to the backplate on the lower gpu catching on the white clips for the ram so i may have to remove that plate or cut a section out of the back of it .. here are some shots of it in anyway



i removed the fans for now and just used the grills so i can get some nice pics. would be fine if i didnt need fans haha



sorry about the lighting ... was about 3 in the morning and i had a orange light above me haha



my custom roof window so u can see the gpu looking at you ;)





some sexy sleeving done by our good man on the forums Dave. im also waiting for a 24 pin from him should be in the post as we speak :D!.. sorry the cables are a mess dave i just placed them to see where im going to run the wires ect





sexy monsoon compression fittings nom nom nom







dry fitting all the angles making sure the loop in my head would work .. i think it will



cheeky ek pump top with monsoon ;)



well thats about it for now guys thankyou for reading and hope u enjoyed the update here is one final picture of the build progress



TTFN!!!!
