    PhantomTaco got a reaction from tristan1035 in PhantomTaco's Project Taco H440   
    Hey guys, another build to show off. With the launch of the H440 I was kinda excited because it was the first white case in a good while that I actually liked the look of, and I love white cases. I like to tryt o build my computers using different color schemes from most (i.e. not black and red ), and I think this one turned out pretttty good. Without further ado here's a PCPP list:

(Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-04-04 14:06 EDT-0400)   I had my good friend Jappetto from over on Reddit help me make the sleeving for my PSU (which proved interesting because he had never made a sleeved set for the Supernova, so I had to end up testing the cables and getting a pin out diagram together), and I have to say his work is as always gorgeous. I don't have a lot of photos of the system at this point but here ya go: For lighting on the system I used 2 12" cathodes on either side of the side panel window, and unfortunately my phone's camera isn't very good at capturing how well they light the system. So how do you guys like it?

    Really not that hard to do, but it takes some accurate measuring, and someone with access to a cnc machine if needed.

    PhantomTaco got a reaction from alpenwasser in My Newest Build: Vidar MKII   
    So I thought I'd share my most recent build, Vidar MKII.
     
    First off a quick breakdown of the parts:
     
    CPU: Intel i5 3570k @ 4.8ghz
    Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth Z77
    RAM: Avexir Core Series 4x4gb 1600mhz White LED
    Cooler: Corsair H100i
    Fans: 6x Noiseblocker eLoops 1600rpm
    GPUs: EVGA GTX Titans with ACX Coolers @ 1153mhz
    SSD: Crucial M4 256gb
    HDD: 2x 2TB WD Greens, 1x WD Black, 1x Seagate Barracuda 3TB
    PSU: Kingwin LZP 850W Platinum
    EXTRAS: EVGA Pro SLI Bridge, custom made acrylic lightbox, Evercool 2 5.25 to 3 3.5 drive bay converter, and finally custom extensions by my good friend Jappetto over at Reddit's Cable Management subreddit (HUGE props to him for making a badass set of extensions)
     
    And finally without further ado, pics (apologies for size if they're big and if they're sideways, dropbox is dumb like that)
     





     
     
    So...thoughts??
