Motivation - A Multi-platform Journy

[mattlef]

 

 

 

Hey Everyone!

So you might have seen my old TJ07 build on other forums, but i felt it was time for a change.
Not only is all the hardware pretty much changing, but so is my goal.
Waiting on a few friends to follow through on promises then its time to get started!!!

So basically, here is the goal. I want to have a multi-platform build. This means showcasing how i build this pc on multiple media, like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and Twitter, all the while maintaining my steadfast commitment to never compromising on my personal tastes, beliefs and style 

So, lets leave this here as a quick and dirty teaser 
 

 

I've decided to go a little nuts with different content. So basically, each platform will have different, unique content 

And for those who dont like facebook etc, i'll post links to all my videos, tweets, instagram pics. etc...
Time to take over ze world!

She's sitting apart on the table right now :s
I7 2600k on a Z68X-UD4-B3
2 Galaxy GTX 660ti's in SLI and some SSD's

 

 

 

 

 

As well, as a part of my Youtube portion of this build

I'll film portions (unboxing, and hand held review parts) using my GSIII and my webcam to start. Once i get a 1080p capable camera, then i'll use that! :D

But for now, its this little guy:

 

 

 

The rest will be revealed later as things change an adapt!

 

Expect some big news coming in the next few weeks!

 

Some WC previews up on there today too ;)

[mattlef]

My first video is up!

 

Many more to come ;) This is just a introduction to the build, what to expect and some of the hardware/tools that are going to be used.

As well, i decided to take a few pics, showing you what watercooling bits I'll be using.

 

but first Caffeine and a brown box!

 

Inside of it?

 

My MCP655, with a alphacool top. Love this thing, and i love the copper stoppers :)

 

Now, i do plan on using compression fittings, like in my previous build.

However, i plan on using some smaller ones. i'll go in more detail later ;)

for now, just take a look   :)

 

Attack of the clones!!!

 

 

Thanks guys!!!! Any don't forget to follow. Links below!

Nice images. Those Galaxy cards look so nice.

[mattlef]

 

 

So, i think its time i announce one of my sponsors for this build :)

 

[リチャード]

When I see a bunch of fittings I get really excited. Non-watercooled builds rarely get me excited anymore.

 

Really looking forward to more pictures.

[bradscoolio]

Wanting to see moar! Subbed.

[Ymac]

Looks good!

btw, it's Alphacool, not OCool. this is apparently common :)

the letter "alpha" is looking like OC but it's: α

[mattlef]

Wow, its been a while since i did an update....

 

so i think its about time :)

Pics coming soon, just need to jump into so post processing :)

But for now!!!

Hey guys

 

so here is the complete update as to whats been going on as of late.

 

This past Thursday, Emma and i traveled to Ottawa for Bluesfest. We wanted to see the black keys.

I have to admit that the train ride was pretty relaxing.

Nothing like zooming along at 100km/h with rain gently falling in my opinion. Easy to sleep to. 

Well, Emma could sleep...

I as about 3 deep into these:

 

So being from Ottawa we didnt need a tour guide. i knew all the cool places to visit. However only took a few pics. Was too engaged in what we were doing :)

 

Is there anything more beautiful than a flame that will never burn out?

 

Where are we?

At the Parliament Buildings!

 

 

 

And just down the street, one of the most beautiful war memorials:

 

Next to some amazing architecture and carvings

 

And then onto the National Art Gallery,

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my favorite shot.

I took it with my phone, conditions were perfect and added some filters in instagram,

 

It was such an amazing trip.

 

 

 

Made even better seeing these boxes this morning when i returned :)

 

 

 

Lots of fun stuff i hope!

 

So much fun stuff!!!!

 

I think thats a total of 16 fans :)

 

But there is something else too!!

 

We'll get to that later...

 

Alright fine,

 

Here is the new PSU!!!

 

 

 

Then again,

how awesome are these fans!

Hey Guys,

Quick aesthetic poll.... do you guys think i should go with Shrink or shrinkless when i start sleeving tonight? Trying to decide :)

Here is a quick reminder of the color combos :)

[Homicidium]

Looking good. :)

[Tastysoobak]

Can't wait for your update :]

[alpenwasser]

Hey Guys

Quick aesthetic poll.... do you guys think i should go with Shrink or shrinkless when i start sleeving tonight? Trying to decide :)

Here is a quick reminder of the color combos :)

Personally I've always had a weakness for shrinkless, but as long as the heatshrink is

not too long (such as in the pic you've posted) it can look pretty awesome as well IMO.

I would recommend you rely on your own tastes for this decision. As long as its executed

properly either one can look really good.

Also, that colour combo: Oh dear god! :wub:

[TicTac]

Looks awesome i want more :)

[mattlef]

Thanks guys!

 

Update incoming tomorrow.... my hands are in pain and my body is quite burnt from the beach this afternoon :)

 

that and the lighting sucks for decent shots :)

 

More tomorrow :)

[mattlef]

Thanks Alpenwasser

 

It took a while, to narrow down exactly the right colors. I wanted it to be classy, but still screams out performance. I hope i nailed it :)

Lots more stuff coming though! maybe an update tomorrow?  :blink:
