Welcome to Week 51 of the LTT Build-Off! The rules and guidelines can be found here.

 

This week your build can be any color you want, but it should be vibrant, and include lighting and/or custom cables (which can be added as custom parts). If you need inspiration, basically think of Alienware lighting (hence the alien implication), but your computer will have much better value than what Alienware can deliver.

 

Budget: $1,111

Speakers/Headphones: No

Mouse: No

Keyboard: No

Monitor: No

Submissions: July 19th through 21st

so the extra 10 bucks is spent on printing logo on sticky paper OR to spray it onto the case itself using paper cut outs

 

hmm i am also thinking about UV build... with UV cables, UV pens to draw on surfaces idk, maybe later

Take a look at the pictures to see how BEAUTIFUL it will all look. 

 


 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($199.99 @ Micro Center) 


Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($115.99 @ Newegg) 


Storage: PNY XLR8 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($62.91 @ NCIX US) 


Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card  ($339.99 @ Newegg)

Case Accessory: NZXT Hue LED Controller  ($28.04 @ Amazon) 

Total: $1103.84

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

 

The color scheme for this build rocks the house. It has blue accents everywhere that will align perfectly in addition to an NZXT Hue system that will provide even blue LED lighting everywhere in the case to make this build look awesome. The Enthoo Pro that houses this build is freaking awesome and will look aggressive, sinister, and minimalistic all at the same time, especially once it has been lit up. 

 

Beautiful Pictures

No, my username is just a pun suggested by a friend. Apparently it went over a lot of people's heads, including ones in real life. "Jacob" substituted for "the cob."
