[WIP]Snef Clear Sky: City of Angels, Crystal 570x

[snef]

first , want to say Thanks to Corsair for asking me to be part of this special project with these best Modders of the planet, some are my main inspirations and these guy are why I start modding a couple years ago , i'm very honored to be part of this

now this will put more pressure on me, need to make a really good build

I generally try to stay with angels and demons themed build and this one is not an exception,

I named this one "Clear Sky: City of Angels"

the build will be based on the new Corsair Crystal 570x RGB
and for sure, I will paint it all white with silver metallic
I will try to do a special thing on it, first time I will try this and hope the result will be great

silver embossed paint

first

the painting process,

disassembled the whole case

and use car paint,
base coat is Championship White
mid coat is Metallic clear
and for sure clear coat, but not use full glossy one,
generally I used a lot of clear coat on exterior panels and polish them to have a mirror finish,
this one don't have exterior panels and interior panels are very hard to polish, I simply use semi-glossy clear coat instead

I'm totally subbed! Love the name for this build, really nailed the name!

And you just paste the link itself into the post and it does itself. That is what I have done, just

youtubelink​

and once it got posted, the forums did it's part and it worked. Might be wrong here though, so do someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Sorry for very low update but to much work with this one for Corsair and the 2 build I did for Asus for CES2017

Clear Sky: City of Angels is done

leave next Wednesday morning for Corsair HQ in a Pelican case

some final pics , hope you will like it,

its the second time I use acrylic, far from perfect but I like it a lot,

a mentor said . "sometime less is better", I like to have only CPU water-cooled, less tubing and very clean,

I think next one will be air cooled

Too much blue for TTL. I personally love the combination. This looks amazing.

 

[snef]

thanks

my initial plan was white and red and name it "Angel's Blood" (previous motherboard was Gigabyte Ultra gaming)
but after some issue with the board, I finally order a Z170 Sabertooth and swap name to the actual one,

Utterly beautiful. Well done Snef.
