History on this guy: I've always liked white, but unfortunately, they don't make white components. So, I compromised. Used lots of plasti-dip which I don't think is the best stuff when using masks.

Motherboard - MSI B851 ITX


RAM - 8GB HyperX Fury White Series

10/28/14 - Component Positioning Test

 

I put all the components on the wall mount today to see if everything would fit. I think it's starting to look pretty nice. Question: How should I mount my components to the wall mount board?

Wow, that motherboard looks surprisingly good for being painted, most ones I see have like globs of plasti-dip all over them lol. I really like this build so far and congratulations! The sleeving looks absolutely incredible. I want to sleeve my own cables and friends but can't justify the cost of the tools. Wish I would've done something like this but instead I got a case I'm not super happy about and wish I would have saved for a Node 804 :/

Thank you! My other components had the plasti dip issues so I couldn't include them in this project. I think it sometimes has to do with the coating that you paint over and doing lots of little coats.

 

I actually went to http://ultimatepersonalcomputers.com/ (I don't have any affiliation with them so don't ban me please! Tell me if I'm doing something wrong). They did the sleeving and I got everything for $40. It looks superb as you can see. I actually got the wrong cable and they are shipping me another for only $5 including shipping. I highly recommend them

My the way, I paid $250 for the components you see here. Scraped them up on deals!

Love me a good wall mounted build, looking good so far!

 

 

Yeah I just priced out a custom Bitspower line at over $300  :huh:

 

Yeah you pay through the roof for Bitspower quality, they're bloody good though.  By switching between brands you can often shave some more cash off, bottom line though is that custom loops are expensive.  Buying some parts second hand (like the CPU block or fittings) can really help too as those parts tend to age well.  In the case of a CPU block, even a badly gunked up one can be resurrected to almost new condition with a bit of vinegar/ketchup and a toothbrush. 

Finished Projects: Loramentum, Vesper, Moderne, Exsectus, Aetos

Current Project: Parvum Argentum

Thank you, I was inspired by your rig to make this one, unfortunately, it doesn't match up to the standard of yours! I'm looking at EKWB parts at the moment but their website is a bit buggy and wont let me add to cart of login. eBay and Amazon are limited in their stock of these components, any other places you use?
