Project White Knight : Air Cooling at it's Best..

It looks fantastic, but I think the ODD ruins the front panel. It would have been better if it was white, but nonetheless it looks fantastic overall.
 
Well done Naveen. I love the paintjob and the pick of colores.

Thank You Buddy.

Thanks Man,i'm getting that a lot about ODD but truth be told in person it doesn't looks that bad,looks more like blended when seen in person.

may be it has something to do with my bad photography skills?
 
Please god put a stealth flap or paint over the odd, ruins a beautiful build

otherwise looks amazing, especially the ssd mount

Well,that's it for now.

UPDATE - 10/02/2012

Since this is a tower case the 24PIN and 8PIN cables were little short of reaching the Power Supply & i didn't plan to Crimp any cables in this build i had bought extension cables earlier.

so,instead on crimping new cables and sleeving them i'm using extensions in this build,i know it's not that sleek or clean to look at but the show must go on as this is not going to be my last build,rather it's my first one
smile.gif


so,i had bought NZXT Pre Sleeved cables (Yeah,i didn't plan to do sleeving in this build either.How silly i was but Nils came to Rescue
smile.gif
.My Build looks much nicer now)

here's the 8PIN cable before sleeving

DSCF0937.jpg


DSCF0938.jpg


and here it is after

DSCF0961.jpg


DSCF0962.jpg


DSCF0963.jpg


DSCF0964.jpg


that's more like it
smile.gif


here's the 24PIN before sleeving

DSCF0949.jpg


DSCF0950.jpg


DSCF0951.jpg


DSCF0952.jpg


DSCF0953.jpg


DSCF0954.jpg


and seems like i've forgot to take pics after MDPC Sleeving :facepalm:

but i'll take it and post it,so hold on to this
tongue.gif


and a package arrived today

DSCF1048.jpg


DSCF1049.jpg


DSCF1050.jpg


DSCF1051.jpg


DSCF1055.jpg


it's a package from our Lian Li main dealer,he's a gamer and is active on the forums.

so,he suggested me about this faceplate for more cleaner look of the front panel and i bought it rightaway.

so,Cheers to him
smile.gif
and this is off to paint now

now the only puzzle remaining in this build is this

DSCF1032.jpg


DSCF1033.jpg


DSCF1035.jpg


it's a power cable for NZXT Presleeved LED Kit,let's rip off the sleeve

DSCF1044.jpg


DSCF1045.jpg


unfortunately it's a lot smaller than what i need,it's AWG24 cable and i searched for it a lot in my whole city but was unable to find any
sad.gif


apart from this are few screws which are on their way to me
smile.gif


so,stay tuned
biggrin.gif
 
The short cable is a pain in the arse isn't it? had to plug mine into the molex plug for the graphics cards coming off my crosshair V formula
