Only thing left to do is to find a good spot for a red led strip and maybe try my hand at sleeving.

Got yourself and extremely nice and clean-looking rig there matey. Try putting a led in the res. Gives it a really nice touch. Both thumbs up!
 
Tidy and tastefully executed, kudos to you.

Just one thing though, I'd go for a white LED setup to nicely accent the red you already have installed it should set it off nice with the black.
 
Very nice, nicer job than most...I did have to deduct 10 points for visible wires though (mobo power connector and gpu connector cables). All in all looks good.

You definitly have to show us a pic of your rig(s), I want to know how you hide your wires!

@Snortan, that is one nice primo, great job
 
looks good my complaint is why such a big case for a single rad setup lol that floor is screaming for a 280 monsta rad in push pull
 
Really clean man! Looks really nice. My only gripe is personal preference but I could never get used to the whole 'coloured tubing and distilled water' thing, it just never looked right in the res to me.

Awesome work anyhow :).

I don't want to hijack this thread but there are a couple shots of my wire covers in my album. The one named 'album'.
 
I'm sorry but BB1, but enough now, all I have seen you do is to criticise everything every one does, it's not as if it's even constructive in any way shape or form. I've looked at your blue box with a heat sink and ram, and give me Snortans Primo all day long at least you can see that it is a computer. Please pull your head out of your arse, at least that way you can live in the real world.

Very nice and tidy Snort by the way.

Ive gotta agree with paul
 
I actually like seeing braided (spelling?) cables in view when they are done nicely. I don't like anything in the form of carbon wraps/vinyls or coverups.

Snortan that is a fantastic, clean setup you have there.

Has this been facebooked? Certainly deserves it.

edit*

And I think this is the first time I believe I'm thinking that switching to rigid tubing would not look as good as what you have done now.
 
Finally another primo build, they have been rather scarce. OP did you by any chance change the LED strip that came with the case? If I recall correctly the stock one is blue.
 
Thanks everyone, really appreciate it!
Just clean off the finger-prints on 5 1/4 bays and its perfect !
:D didn't even see them without the flash, it's clean now.

Go for white LEDs. If you really want more red, put some red LEDs by the small window.

Thanks for the input.
Makes sense, will go with a white led strip.

I agree! The plan is to add another 290 and some more rad space along with that.

Very nice indeed! Love that Primo. Got any shots of the other side of the case?
Bit of a mess really, using a fan controller doesn't help at all.
However I like using a fan controller even if I'll rarely change the speed, if at all, I like it, as a gimmick more than anything.

I definitely see your point. Went with clear liquid after reading a few "horror" stories about staining and the like, which I definitely didn't want on my first adventure.

:blush:Thanks!
Don't think it's worthy enough for that tbh, nowhere near enough work put in it as many other builds in here.

Yea, the stock led is blue but I didn't try changing it yet. I've read a guide on how to change it and it seems to be pretty straight-forward, need a bit of practice with a soldering iron before though.
