Thanks. Evidently I'm not much of a photophile at best lol but I try to keep it dark with only the light shining on the things that matter in the build, much like the ice giant planet itself. Hope it makes sense. :unsure:

Neptune 2.0 :http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/113719-complete-neptune-20-reverse-polarity-nzxt-switch-810-reverse-atx-dwood-pedestal-build/#entry1519778 Description : I was completely content with the former version of Neptune (http://linustechtips...-cooled-build/) but a Dwood pedestal had me putting the mod hat back on once again. This time, I jump off the cookie cutter trend of case configurations and reversed the case to build a one-off system that would never be mistaken as an LD or 900D ripoff. My plan worked as some could not identify what this behemoth of a case was as they stare into the acrylic tubes that flow seamlessly into its mid panel which resembles a pool Mayhems Pastel Blue Berry coolant. Everything in this build, from the bent acrylic panels and tubing, down to every single paracord sleeved cable, was built in-house and not outsourced (except for my CF SLI cover, which was laser cut at work with the help of a good friend and fellow PC modder:p). I can happily say that I am now completely content to have finally completed the dream machine I have always wanted. I hope you guys enjoy watching it unfold as much as I enjoyed building it. Future plans will include Maxwell GPUs (skipping Geforce 700 series). Picture URL : http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x237/joejoe69_album/IMG_2305_zps949bf798.jpg

Thanks!!

Thanks lol!! Is BOTW still around anywhere? I heard it's done in the after party...

They're Dell S2340M 23" IPS LED Monitors. Thanks. I already have plan for it but it will be in a future build. I would really love to see NZXT make an Ultra Tower similar to this that can compete with the 900D, which to me is not the perfect case as everyone thinks it is...

Yes. I didn't want to add anymore like some have, in and out. Thanks!!

Glad you like it as some think its an eye sore.

Thanks!! The Switch 810 w/pedestal was around waaaaay before Corsair's 900D. How dare you compare that case to mine!! j/k

For me, this is true. I've had a 250GB Hitachi HDD since 2006. I dropped it once on a hard concrete floor. Still running strong. I bought a 2TB Seagate barracuda HDD in 2012. Lasted me 2 months until it started clicking all they way to its death a week later. RMA took forever. I sold the RMA'd Seagate 2TB HDD and bought a WD Black 2TB. It lasted for a year because my SATA power cable from my HX1050 PSU was faulty. RMA'd it and replaced the SATA power cable. Still going strong.

Thanks!! I'll be doing a 2.0 revision very soon.

Lol thanks!!

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Thanks!!
