a build is never complete.

Isn't that the truth. Seams like when you do finally say, its done, you find something else you can add too it.

Description:  I'm a newbie builder. Since the hard-tube became popular, I wanted to build one. I learned by watching RomeoKilo, Singularity Computers, and other builders out there in YouTube. I called this "Project Insomnia", successor of "Project Nightmare" (my old rig).

Description:

Meet " Fyre "

This is my first ever custom PC build and it has been done with lots of careful planning and advice from the forums as well as tips from linus's videos. Linustechtips videos are where is picked up the skills necessary to build a PC and Fyre is proof of that. Eventhough the black and red theme seems overused, it is still my favourite colour combination and hence why i picked it. With the build as it is today, I think I pulled off the combination pretty nicely.

The parts used are:

H440 Black/Red with AF140/ AF120s

FX 8320

Corsair H105 with 2x SP120s PE

Gigabyte 990FXA UD3

Avexir Blitz Gaming ram 2x4gb kit

MSI R9 280x 3gb Gaming

Samsung 840 evo 120gb

WD 1tb Black

Corsair RM750

Description : This is my build in the Fractal Design ARC Mini R2. I really wanted a smaller build that I could fit as much water-cooling components as possible and the ARC Mini R2 was the perfect option. Love the look of hardline tubing and the Monsoon bending kit really helped a lot as this was my first time using and bending rigid tubing. Learned a lot about building by watching Linus, TinyTomLogan and Singularity Computers. Hope you like my build.
