    Completion

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    Introduction
    My third LinusTechTips build-log, this particular log will be different to my past, documenting far greater throughout the building process hopefully bringing more people into the log to share ideas.
    May seem strange to start a new project when my previous Mercury build-log is not complete, but i assure you that log is coming to an end.
     
    Several months ago i bought myself the Fractal Design Mini, have to say it suited my own personality perfectly, simple, sleek and small.
    I've never been a person to throw colors at a build, normally resorting to dull colors, blacks greys and whites with a splash of color but for this particular log i feel like stepping outside the box a little.
     
    I'm still going over this log in my head so changes to the components and design will fluctuate.
    A large portion of the components within the log will be of an older generation, i intend to use my leftover components rather than sell them.
     
    Please note this is not going to be a build-log where you should expect to see the highest end components, some of my choices may seem odd or unusual but I'm trying to keep my wallet intact throughout this log as much as possible.
     
    Vision & Color Scheme
    I'm still tossing up how i want to plan this build, i have plenty of water-cooling components that can be salvaged for this build and i have plenty of ideas for Air Cooling.
     
    Well, I've made my decision, Water is it. I have so much spare water-cooling components it just seemed right, not to mention i enjoy the silence you get from water-cooling.
    I've decided to integrate Aqua into this build, aside from the typical Grey & Blacks i believe the Aqua element will provide a nice bold & striking contrast color, especially in the EK Solid Tubing.
     
    Main Components
    Fractal Design R4 Titanium Gigabyte Z68X UD4-B3 Intel 1155 2600k Corsair Dominator GT 2133 (4x4GB) Silverstone Strider 1200w Gold Samsung 840 Pro (256GB) Gigabyte GTX Titan OC Watercooling Components
    EKWB Supremacy Full Nickel Clean CSQ Waterblock EKWB Monarch Acetal Waterblock EBWB Titan SE Acetal & Nickel Clean CSQ Waterblock EBWB 2 x 240mm PE Radiator Laing D5 Vario Pump (Spare) Bitspower 150ml Z-Reservoir & Upgrade Kit Fittings & Tubing
    EK-CSQ Nickel Compression Fitting x 4 EK-CSQ Black Compression Fitting x 8 PrimoChill Advanced LRT 3/8 x 1/2 Clear PrimoChill "Blue" Dye & Distilled Water Extras
    16AWG 2.3mm Custom Cables  LC Teleios Sleeving (Aqua, Light Grey & Black) Closing
    So just to advise everyone considering following this log, the updates will be slow, but detailed. I have limited time throughout the week up until Christmas, so time spent on this build will be minimal.
    I'm looking forward to creating a build that can inspire others to reuse components all the while creating something beautiful.
     
    Stay tuned.

    Holopoint got a reaction from kirashi in Decent 23-24inch 1080p monitor   
    I love my Asus VH236H. Its a 23.6 Inch monitor. The colour quality is great, and has a 2 MS response time which is great for gaming. The only downside is the reflective bezel but if you can get over that, its a great monitor for the price!
