Really nice finish on the radiators.

Thanks! I thought about buying the white XSPC rads but I figured I could try to paint the ones I got!:)

They are called "parvum modding cubes"! I think you can buy them at performance-pcs or overclockers in the UK. :)

This kind of build will get you a 10/10 as its custom work, no build without custom work, design, modding, building etc can get a 10/10 in my eyes as so many people just buy manufactured components and nice shinny expensive parts and assemble it, but not with this one, you are an engineer and good at design and what you do,

love the attention to detail and know its not easy to do a custom scratch build especially the case, i am in the middle of doing mine right now and it takes months of work, most depends on time and money / tools etc.

very good job so far... love it.

got to love Asus components

What paint did yo use for it?

And did you sand it before or anything?

I want to do the same to mine and was just gona use plastidip, but then i though the heat would get trapped in.

Hi! The paint is called "Plasti-kote". Overall I didnt do any sanding. The red did shine throug on one of the mobo heatsinks though so I did sand it and paintet it again. Good luck with your painting!

First of all, thank you for all the kind words! I agree with you so much! :)

Buying all the most fancy parts and put it together isn't hard at all, real modding is building something special with the parts you have got. And building a custom case is harder than I could ever imagine, or at least takes a lot more time than i I thought. I want it to be perfect so I can never stop sanding the parts to make them fit perfectly. Haha.

Right now I actually picked up a used case for just about 10 bucks and I'm using it until the other one is finished. I'll put some pics here soon!

Hi again guys!

I'm sorry for the silence now for some time, I've been skiing in Italy for more than a week without internet... :)

 

OT, I've done some things since my last update so I thought I would share some more pics with you!

 

I realized that the case i'm building would take longer than I can manage without the computer so I decided to find a temporary case that I could use for the system until the "real" case is finished.  I was really happy when I found a second hand white BitFenix Phenom M for just a couple of bucks, and bought it right a way! Here are som pics of the temporary build. :)

I'm pretty happy with it, even if I had to use some old ugly fittings that doesn't match the rest of the theme. Also the new fans I have ordered hadn't arrived when I built this so I used some old fans. 

 

What do you guys think?
