Project Tomb Raider

[LaMokona]

Hello everyone, I’m back with another computer build and mod. This time I will be working with a Cooler Master HAF 912. I asked several people what their favorite superhero was and one answer stuck out. Lara Croft. This build will be based around the new Tomb Raider game ( Which I actually haven’t had the time to play :( ) Choosing colors was a bit harder with this one than with other superheroes since Lara Croft doesn’t really have a color scheme. Nonetheless, I hope what I chose is good and lives up to the game (Heard that it’s amazing). I’m currently saving up for the hardware so may take a bit before it’s completely done. Won’t stop me from working on the case though.

Also got some terminals I needed.

 

Sleeving on the 24 pin cable is complete

 

 

The front panel of the case is also done.

 

That’s it for now. More to come soon.

[calebp123]

Awesome! Looks really good so far.

[Bad2049]

Can't wait to see more. Do you have a sketch of what you it may look like once completed?

[LaMokona]

Thank you all :)

I do have sketches but tend not to post them. Like to keep the element of surprise. They're also not great, just good enough for me to follow.

truth be told I'm not a fan of this case, but this could turn out interesting, so followed :)

[AxelPeeters]

This is not a true Tomb Raider all around PC, you need an AMD GPU because TOMB RAIDER is part of Gaming Evolved(AMD).

Kidding, good job mate!

Thank you.I was going to get an AMD card (might still get one) but saw that the new EVGA cards have a nice brown accent on them. Looking at the XFX cards right now, might get one and paint the red bar on the top brown.

 

 

So got the side panels done today. The right side panel isn’t completely done yet though. Also got the PCI slot covers painted. Tomorrow will be working on the top panel window.

Why do u have a storm enforcer panel?

[nightlitezzz]

Holy moly is that a Storm Enforcer side panel on the HAF 912? Does it fit perfectly?

 

EDIT: Okay, I know it's a Enforcer, but does it fit good?

I bought it from the CM Store a bit ago. Thought it looked better than the HAF 912 windowed side panel and it fits perfectly, no modding required :D

Yep, storm enforcer side panel on the HAF 912. Fits perfectly. Can be seen in the first picture I posted.

Can't belive what I'm about to say but...

Noctuas can go really good with that build.

Hahaha. Thank you very much. I was wondering what fans to use. Was going to get some SP120's and paint the rings. Dind't think of Noctuas XD

[Nicktrance]

Yeah Noctuas sound like a good idea. Good job mate, It's nice to see someone going with a more uncommon colour scheme, looking forward to see more updates :).

[Bluejay0]

I'm going to sit here. And. Watch

[ProAFKGuy]

Amazing pictures!
