CENTURION. 
 
this will be my entry for the 2013 Cooler Master Case Mod Competition. i submitted it, not to compete, but to showcase my build and inspire those who feel that they cannot mod their RIG because they have cheap parts, no money, no tools or what not. all the mods on this build, the decals, the acrylic bends etches and cuts, the paint job and etc.. were all done 100% manually with only a DIY scoring knife a.k.a "thing", some table clamps, a cigar torch and oodles upon oodles of patience, creativity and pure passion and dedication to the art of MODDING. 
 
no, it's not rocking top of the line hardware, the newest and most powerful GPU, and etc.. but it does.. and does very well what i need it to do. 
 
this build is rocking: 
 
Intel i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz at 1.2v
Asus Sabertooth Z77
Asus DCU2 GTX 660 OC edition
Kingston Hyper X Black @ 2x4gb
Seasonic M12II 750
Corsair H60
Corsair Force GS 128gb SSD / WD 1tb HDD
Corsair AF120mm Fans (x2)
Corsair SP120 Fans (x2)
Cooler Master Silencio 650 (modded)
Bitfenix Recon Fan Controller 
 
a lot of thought went into this build. i wanted it to look beautiful inside and outside, with or without the PSU and 3.5/5.25 side bay covers. i apologize for the horrible pics, i am no photographer. =)
 
big thanks to Icemodz.com and Mundi Valur, for sponsoring me with his beautiful sleeving work and lighting. thank you also to Kasper Kragh for helping me with the Centurion banner and emblem. thank you to Nick Blackwell and Dirtysouth PC, for his constant moral support, to Paul Tan and Adam Ebora for the "lessons" and mentoring, to those who appreciate my work. your kind words always inspire me to do better. THANK YOU!!
 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! =)

Oh my god. This. 
It seems that all that's posted on facebook is this junk, it used to be a decent way of contacting people.

1) Unnecessarily loud people.  
2) People who pretend to be 'morally right' on social websites to appear sensitive
3) When the 'morally right' people are the polar opposite in person.

Hey Guys,
 
This isn't a real build log but its similar. The story behind it is, My youngest brother (20 years of age) has disability's, the main one is Autism, in the past 5 years hes began breaking things, so i have to think of ways to stop him breaking it and build it. Things hes done are, broken 7 laptop screens by snapping them, breaking doors off the hinge, broken 3 tv's by snapping the screen or pouring water down the back of them, breaking tv controllers, media players ect
 
Ive given him one of the old laptops of the screen hes broken, but its to slow and hes broken the keys on the keyboard, they also are covered in chocolate milk and abit sticky... ect. So for his 21st birthday, i thought i would get him more of a computer what will be faster, but ill have to stop him from pouring water over it, and this is what i came up with, ill also post extra picture of what else ive done at the end, hope you enjoy and hope if anyone else has or knows someone like this, maybe this can help them
 

This is the start, where i just varnished it
 

The insides
 

With the Side on
 

This is where the USB ports are going to go
 

Should look something like this
 

The bottom of them
 

The ON button :P
 

This is the Dell computer i got for cheap and you can see the wires for my external button and fan
 

It will go into that corner covering the power points
 

The computer inside the box after i bolted the box to the side of the table
 

With the side on ready to get set down
 

This is what it looks like Inside its box
 

Finished product
 

Finished product
 

Finished product
 

Installed for his birthday, while he was at school (special place for the day) and its bolted to the wall, so he cant do anything to it
 

2 weeks later snapped the keyboard so i had to do this, its glued to the wood
 
Screwed down here

 
I found out couple of months later that my job wasn't finished with the screen, i put perspex on the top to stop him pouring water down it but i caught him picking the monitor up and putting it on the side to pour water down.. so it had to be fixed and this is what i came up with
 

This is it, all ready to be installed
 

This is the back of it, for the cable management :P i put the wood there so he cant push the monitor back
 

Fully installed, bolted down and the screen cant move
 

Everything completed!!
 
So yea hope you liked, here are the extra picture i took of things i made for him
 

The Tv, stop him touching it with acrylic perspex screen, and water proof with the speakers and its bolted to the wall
 

His Media player, the last one he kept smacking it on the desk and after about 6 months and 200+ times getting hit on the desk the hard drive finally gave up and died, so i got a new media player and hard drive and put it inside
 

The controllers, he use to snap them, i didnt use to have the acrylic perspex on the top but he managed to break a controller buy hitting it with his calculator....
 

This is his computer screen, acrylic perspex screen and over the heat vents at the top so water cant go down, there is a gap on the side so some hot air can excape, you can also see the chocolate milk on the side of the screen where he has tried to pour it in :P
 

This is again acrylic perspex over the stained glass because it use to push his hand through it and break it...
 
Well that just about does it, with most of the things ive done
 
Everything was cut out with a CNC machine my other brother owns and cut out for me
 
Hope you enjoyed it and hope it helps anyone else who is dealing with these issues :)

Would mean the end of proprietary chargers, so you wouldn't have so many of the damn things lying around. Although I would prefer standard usb.

Fifa street 2. I f*cking loved that game I played it at least 6 hours a day on my PS2

Missed the behind the scenes vlog stuff which you guys had in taiwan.

People thinking they can download RAM....

So LTT swag anyone?

just a suggestion 
 

Not really a phrase but when people click the scroll bar and drag it down really makes my skin itch

I owe linus my much improved build knowledge and general PC knowledge over the last year and a half since i found his channel... so ill be donating (even though i haven't posted much in the forum thus far) but i look forward to helping him in return in a small way.
 
 
 
Already got mine in just a few min after, they must be on the ball!!!

I live in Europe so... Let's search ALL the words and look in the sky for US paratroopers :D

Some close shot on ASUS GTX 680 SLI with EKWB waterblock   ]   Res, pump and MUSHKIN SSD   Illuminated vandal switch for Power & Reset button   FINALE           Purple? :confused:

(I had a friend who bought a pretty generic laptop).. As he was describing its specs to me (before I saw it), he said that it had two graphics cards. He also went on to say that when him and his dad opened it up, it had room for two more graphics cards, and that he was running really intense games on highest detail settings.. He also tried to impress me by saying that because it was such a high-end laptop with killer specs, it was worth almost $3000..
 
Of course, he was referring to RAM slots, his laptop had a crappy integrated GPU, and he was running TF2 and L4D2 on automatic settings.. (and there was no way in h*ll that it was worth more than $700)

Snef's making another build??!!
