that is the sexiest value oriented ram I have ever seen

Black PCBs are wonderful aren't they?

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Here are the Rocket Science fittings I'll be using for the build. They are, in my opinion, the best looking fittings for 1/2 inch tube. Here in the USA and also Australia (where the fittings are made) Imperial sizing is common for available copper tube, so these fittings hit the spot.

They are near identical to Bitspower C47's in terms of overall size. So, similar to that product these fittings leave a small footprint and fit flush with any other fitting adapter they might be connected to, unlike all other brands on the market whose 1/2 inch fittings are gigantic to the point of being just plain ugly.

I can't recommend enough. Keep in mind that the prices on the Rocket Science website are AUS dollars, not US dollars, so with the conversion they actually end up being only 6.50 a piece (I don't know the conversions off hand for the other countries this build log is posted). You can also use the code FASTFATE0105 for free shipping on orders over $50!

I love that brushed copper look! :D Will you be using brushed copper in the build too or are you going to polish it?

Current plan is to have the tubing chrome or nickel plated :)

No such thing as brushed copper tubing, that is just marks from the tooling at the factory.

Ah I see, would fit the other componentes, colorwise, better haha.

I know that the scratches on the copper tubing are from the tooling and handling. It wouldn't make sense for a manufacturer of copper tubing to do anything about the looks since most of the tubing would only be seen by plumbers and handlers. I just tought it had a nice look to it :)

I can't wait to see what you do @Jameswalt1 

 

It wouldn't happen to be a custom case co-devoloped with Parvum? Possibly made of metal with some brilliant aging done to it, or am I starting to get build logs confused?

It's a case from a brand new manufacturer... B Negative and Snef have one also... NDA lifts Friday at 10am :)

NOOO FIRDAY CAN'T COME EARLY ENOUGH! Maybe I'll go bribe Snef or B neg to tell me...

 

 

I'm going to guess its something from SilverStone. They have been up to some stuff recently.

Dont think it's Silverstone... they're not a brand new manufacturer

very true...

 

I wonder if its brand new name, or someone into Peripherals and they just decided to make a case, like, a Noctua case...

What little is peeking out from behind the censor bar makes it look as though it ends with an "R".

 

Every name I can think of with and R at the end already makes cases. Of course, "New Case Manufacturer" doesn't necessarily mean an established company.

 

EDIT: Hmm, new company it is. Interesting.

Yeah pretty much impossible to guess since the company doesn't officially exist until Friday :)

So that means Friday is reveal day? Can't wait. Hopefully this excitement works out better than the last case I got all excited about before I knew anything about it,  Be Quiet's Silent Base 800.

The case is absolutely beautiful, and not only in terms of raw appearance - the fit and finish is very high end. This is not like some sort of dime-a-dozen commercialized case in terms of quality. Imagine case labs quality materials but implemented into a more stylish design.

The case is extremely clean and subtle looking, don't expect to be blown out of your chair when you see it, you must look at it as a very fine piece of craftsmanship - the kind of piece that you'd find in a Swedish furniture catalog or a high end audio component magazine.

I have been waiting for the case for a very long time and my expectations grew and grew, as time went on I started to prepare myself to not be too underwhelmed when the day came for me to have it, but the fact is the wait was worth it and the case delivers for sure. They have crafted fine computer case worthy of being labeled high end.

I like it a lot.
