Here's my first of two builds this fall, another team up with Parvum Systems, this time for a highly customized Advanced Warfare themed mITX build. Originally I was set for a totally different theme but then last week at Gamescom Microsoft showed off their limited Advanced Warfare controller and console. I then switched themes and have decided to tread familiar ground in doing a build inspired by another Xbox One controller. I just couldn't help myself. I'm pretty inspired by the controllers color pallet, it's very unique and I think this build will turn out completely amazing with the plans I have...
This build is possible with the support of Swiftech, DazMode, Darkside, Ensourced Cables, and of course the talented lads at Parvum Systems.
Here's the controller I'll be using for the inspiration here:


Main Components:
Case - Parvum Systems custom mITX
CPU - Intel 4790k
Motherboard - EVGA Z97 Stinger
Memory - (still undecided)
GPU - Nvidia Titan Black
SSD - (still undecided)
PSU - (still undecided)

Watercooling Components:
CPU Block - Swiftech Apogee XL
GPU Block - Swiftech Komodo NV LE
Radiators - Darkside 120mm and 240mm
Ram Block - (still undecided - may not use one)
Pump - Swiftech MCP 35X
Pump Housing - Bitspower
Reservoir/Pump Top Combo - Bitspower
Fittings - Bitspower True Brass
Tubing - E22 12mm OD acrylic tube
Coolant - (still undecided)

Miscellaneous:
Ensourced custom cables
Darkside lighting
Custom vinyl and paintwork by me

I don't have 100% of the components chosen yet, but I'm almost there. Parvum currently has my case design mockup and will be starting it next week - it's going to be spectacular.
Let's get this thing started!!!






Here's the finished build!

My next build log is something a little different, it will be my sim racing cockpit based on the  new GT omega ART racing seat, my set up show far is a modified G27, stock G27 peddles Trustmaster TH8RS shifter with some custom made gear gates by rightongates. I'm planning making a dashboard/button box, handbrake cooling using a PC fan and ducting, keyboard tray and drinks holder with the aim of making the most realistic thing in my budget and the most awesome looking. I'm also planing on wrapping the rig in carbon fiber and using as much real carbon fiber as I can to make items such as the button boxes 
 
one thing I really have to do is some sort of quick swap-able wheel option, upgrading to the fanatec clubsport V2 peddels
 
This will be a long build log and will take a long time to complete (if ever you always add more!)

Well here is one of my first ever custom mods, theme based off the popular new title, Titanfall. I had only 1 week to build this (back home for spring break) so it may not be as in depth as I had imagined, but I believe it turned out nice nonetheless. The hardware is nothing special, this is a mid-range build, capable of running Titanfall! Let me know what you think!

I've heard decent things about the Siberia V2's from Steelseries.

I do not really have a preference for open or closed

Looks like the NZXT Phantom 410 and the ASUS Vento 3600 had sex.

What part do you dislike that much?
 
We wouldn't have chosen that front panel, but we've seen far uglier cases out there..

Grab yo 6300 and 8350's

Will they make water blocks for it :-)

Well there's a petition out there asking Rockstar to put it on PC with over 185K signatures so far.

I use Windows 8 before it was even launched and I never really missed the Start Menu. The switch from Windows 7 to Windows 8 is really a breeze for me and I actually don't want the Start Menu to come back in Windows 8.1. All the programs I need are pinned in the Start Screen (which is like 2 clicks away) but with the Start Menu, I have to press the button -> All programs and scroll to the list of folders to launch a program. All I want in Windows 8 is to make the Search unified (which is said to be included with 8.1). I really want the new additions in 8.1 so far.

If the Start button doesn't really bring back the classic menu then I hope they provide option to disable it...

I want a manly model with fans  behind a mesh cover on the back

EDIT: I had no clue the images would be this big; is there a way to make them smaller?
