Intro:

I saw a lot of black and gold colored themes and wanted to try it out myself. In the beginning I was only going to use gold in a few places to make it stand out more, but that quickly changed into becoming the focal point of the build! All the golden components and sleeve, were too cool to be limited to only a few places. I came into this build with the importance to attention to detail, all parts were chosen with the theme in mind, and any part that didnt fit the theme were modified to complement it. Any obstacles in the case were answered with my trusty dremel!. My overall mission of Black Gold was to create a build that was so clean and elegant that people would think it came from the factory that way!


Now time For the Parts

Case : corsair air 540

Looks amazing, but on the first photos you used the blur too much, and on the second set I would recommend a tripod. Other than that it looks amazing.

What's with the focus effects on some of the photos at the beginning, they don't seem right. You did a good job here making that mobo go with something.

Ehh, gold is awesome, Good job man. Very nice. I love the highlights of gold. Very cool.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
