So this was my first build log on linustechtips.com or any other place, but its not my first pc build. But i will say this pc is most likely the nicest one that i've built. The first couple pictures are how it started out and the rest will be the tare down then the mods, and finally, putting it back together.
Some of you may have seen this before but when the linustec forums where changed to the new design my old post vanished somewhere so i was asked to repost it.
Vid: So this video pretty much just shows off the aurora before it lost its pearl effect.
