The Shocking Orange - By Zombie Mods.

[ALXAndy]

OK time to take care of the HDD box. I don't like it stock, so decided to mod it. First up I removed it.

 

 

Then cut out the middle parts and then carved the edges 

 

 

Wrap.

 

 

Better.

 

 

And then....

 

[DildorTheDecent]

Looking baller. Do want. Will give three brownies and a Socket A rig. 

[Dist0ur]

now you need to color match your mouse with your rig

[ALXAndy]

I got the mouse really cheap. Might mod it, but the orange parts are pretty much staying orange.

 

Today I decided to mod the VRM fan.

 

 

 

[GhostWindGamer]

This build should be called the big purple money pit because the amount of time and money that has gone into this must be insanely huge

[Paralectic]

Lmao at that vram cooling thing, beast build tho! sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Don't hate, congratulate...

It's probably the most important fan in the PC. Before I fitted that I was getting DrMOS errors left right and centre complaining about mosfets overheating.

 

Not sure if you've ever ran X79 before but truss, she's a hottie.

I haven't ever ran an x79 so :-)

@ALXAndy congratulations on having the funds to build such an amazing beast it's beautiful

Is that torch from poundland by any chance? :lol:

The vrm fan looks very cool, must've been a pain to vinyl, I'm going to "borrow" the vrm fan idea not that I think I'd need it but seems like we should all be doing.

Probably use vinyl dye instead

12 phases man. 4 more than Haswell.... I got lucky on the CPU too, many did not do more than 4.5ghz on any sort of cooling. I dread to think how much power my CPU is using, would make an AMD FX look lame

hehe sarcasm detected Don't worry mate, I'm poor. I just had some luck and decided to spend the money on the PC. The modding has cost very little. Each A3 sheet of acrylic was £5.20 delivered and the dinoc owes me £17 all told.

 

Making your own parts is a damn sight cheaper than buying them dude. I contacted two companies famed for their acrylic parts, both wanted £30 per GPU back plate. Mine, whilst nowhere near as professional cost me £9 for both. That's £4.50 each....

No. The torch is from my local post office and was bought at 11pm one night.... My lady and I decided to go for a late night walk on the beach. Things, erm, happened (snigger) and her glasses fell off and we couldn't find them. So cue us, red faced giggling like 12 year olds going to the only place that was open to buy a torch lmao. It's made by Energizer.. We bought a two pack

 

We found the glasses too

 

I do get a lot of my bits from Poundland though bro, ain't gonna lie. All of my cutting scalpels came from there. My safety glasses came from there, my box of small nuts and bolts came from there. Love the place

[GhostWindGamer]

@ALXAndy I was sincere no sarcasm intended

[ALXAndy]

So to my (pleasant) surprise the postman came with another sheet of acrylic for me It came pretty quick this time.. So this time around I figured I'd do the graphics first.

 

 

And assembling.

 

 

And then mask.

 

 

Then off to work...

 

 

Drill a hole and set the donut cutter.

 

 

And cut.

 

 

And then cut the cover panel I need.

 

 

Once that was done I covered the panel.

 

 

Applied the graphic.

 

 

And that's now done.

 

 

And fitted.

 

 

OK, so then it was time to cover the pump cover. Light had gone in now mind..

 

 

And design and print my graphic for it.

 

 

Self explanatory.

 

 

And about ten minutes later.

 

 

And fit.

 

 

Next up. Custom floor cover and SSD display. Don't have the acrylic or vinyl yet, so that will be coming next week

[MarQue98]

o. damn. that's all i can say right now

[Tearass]

butts

 

I personally think it's starting to get a little messy and overwhelming.  :huh:

[Epitome]

Love the black and purple colour scheme. Considering going for a black and purple colour scheme as well.

[CJPowell27]

A little much vinyl for me but I'll still watch this

[rentaspoon]

Nice to see someone not following the trend tho

[ALXAndy]

I'm happy with it. TBH the inside is almost done now any way, I've just ordered the final part to mod the front with.

It's no more than I used in my last build, barring the IO cover.

 

Try not to forget I am covering ugly things like the back sides of PCBs and holes for 5.25" drives. I assure you, panels look way better than what was underneath.

 

It's not done for visual effect either tbh. Cleaning the PC with those panels on is a breeze. All you do is wet down a cloth with some Windex and wipe. There are no places for dust to sit, like on the back of a PCB where it's incredibly tricky to clean off. You can't take a paintbrush to the back of a PCB because of static, and if you try to wipe it with a cloth the cloth gets caught on the rough parts.

[GhostWindGamer]

It looks so good

[ALXAndy]

Hi guys. Bit of a hiatus on this I'm afraid.

 

I will be working on it again soon and have the materials for the next phase of modding.

 

However, I just bought this.

 

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-002-AS&groupid=701&catid=11

 

 

And will be making a back plate etc for it, as well as modding the front and top of the case soon !

 

X8 is not finished but it is now at the point where it's all small jobs so I can get back to doing this too

[Ralphington]

That sound card looks real nice, until you get to the off-white bits, so close.

You can't see it, it's buried under the bottom Titan Black tbh.

 

Necro bump.

 

OK, so I have a few updates of which to speak of. Firstly, BPM is getting a third GPU. Not another Titan Black (sadly) as those days are behind me now. However, what I do have is a GTX 770 with a Titan cooler. My 65" screen is all but ready to go on the wall next week so I want the 770 to drive my 1080p desk monitor. Plus it will look epic sandwiched between the Titans. So I have ordered some all purple braided cables for it (same as the ones in there only all purple) and I have to take apart the EVGA SLI bridge and will use my heat gun to remove the middle SLI finger.

 

I also have a different PSU in BPM now, one of these in the 1250w variant.

 

 

Which should provide more than enough power. I can also use the 770 for Physx to see if it makes a difference.

 

Last but not least I ordered a purple blacklight cathode kit from Ebay shortly after I built BPM that never did get fitted. So that will be going in too, once the braiding arrives (purple) for the wires on the cathodes

 

So soon there will be lots of photos et al. I also need to give it a ruddy good clean so here's my excuse

[Ralphington]

I really like the paintjob on those PSUs, nice.

[ALXAndy]

It's totally covered sadly because the colours just dont match.

 

Today I braided the wiring for the cathodes, so they're ready. I just need the Quadro now so I can whip out the 770.
