Thanks for comments, really appreciate

 

 

 

Seems like you could do this part time or maybe even full time. You could naturally use the already finished builds as a portfolio and take orders for custom jobs. The only downside I see is that few people are going for desktops anymore and probably corporations take a big chunk of them. I can see some hip ad agencies ordering a uniform line of custom desktops but that's about it.

Are you willing to tell us how much you made when sold this one? If not the price itself, then how about would it be worth the trouble for the money you got to do it professionally?

 

In any case if this is something you like to do and you can at least get to +-0$ by building and selling than you are very lucky. I know from personal experience that having a hobby you can relax with and be passionate about is a blessing (possibly not the right word) indeed.

I did my build part time because I don't make any money, all my build are for hobby, sure I can take order for custom build, its a good idea, not sure quit my job for that (for now) but yes everything is possible

 

I sold it $1600cad and I made a parts list price with the buyer yesterday and the total cost is around $2500cad, but already have some parts and the real cost from my pocket on this one is around $2000

I know I lost some money but, just for the fact I can build computers like that, it worth the loss

 

 

 

Are these custom coloured?
If so, how do you do it?

no,

the fan are Xigmatek purple led

coolant is Mayhem Raspberry Purple (the picture on Mayhem website show blue but its real purple) 

 

I bought everythink like the picture except for some white parts like Res mount and holder, rad, gpu backplate, cpu waterblock, ram  and some other pats

The color of the sleeving and the coolant match perfectly and the contrast ohhh the contrast. While I love black builds they don't leave much in the way of it but with a white one you have the rest of the rainbow to work with. A very tastefully done build.

I got to say, this is actually the best built system with a unusual color-scheme i've ever seen. Would definitely pay like €2000+ for that.

The coolant you used for this build is it just the pastel purple or did you add any dye to it etc?
