Hey Guys this is my first time posting in this forum, I figure I watch every Linus video so I may as well join his forum to :huh:

 

Anyways I have a video series and pics of my dream / Mod build of putting two 420 triple Rads into the Corsair 750D as well as completely customize the entire case per millimeter. Check out my last video, or all of them if you like :) I do have pics as well

Looking nice. Will be watching for updates.

 

 

Thanks Guys, It's alot of work, but will be well worth it after its all done, still have so much to get to even changing out the screws for buttonhead bolts painting and creating more acrylic panels for the front side and sleeving, tubing lighting yadda yadda yadda LOL but its nice to hear your compliments :)

I might actually start liking asus' new color scheme if they are in these kinds of builds.

Definitely subbed.

I thought the same thing... Looks like a mirror or something...

Only issue with the Coollabs is it starts to dry after a while which might leave your CPU overheating if you push it hard later on. Love the matching gold. Will be doing the same in my build.

Yeah you can see in the video how I hand crafted a piece of acyrlic to mount a led strip to shine on the screws and for that effect ;)

Thank you for watching the video it really shows how much detail I'm going through with literally every piece of hardware to make sure it's perfect :) subscribe for the new updates and contest coming up soon! Comments are always appreciated !

Thank you for the info I hadn't heard that yet about it, I'm not to worried about pushing it to far, I will be doing a modest overclock of cpu and gpu's however there is no way I can push this kind of power, this is more of a showcase build of my talents and dream build. Only things I'll play are bf4 and titanfall ;)

If you missed the video update grab some popcorn and watch it's about 25 min for this update

bro, the acrylic is an amazing touch.  I don't think I've seen a case quite like yours on LTT.  Makes the gold stand out like BANG! I haven't said this before about anyone's build but the word that I can think of to describe your rig is "classy" :)

That's Awesome! Thank you I'm glad you like them so far :D The Next update (in a while) will be huge as I'm trying to pick out the fittings right now and the 780TI waterblocks Im going to use...

Now I have to figure out what to do about the I/O silver, it needs to be black, does anyone know where or how to apply vinal? I cant find it anywhere and want to use it on that section.
