Hah! Mine looks a hundred times better...  Definitely not! This build looks absolutely amazing so far, and I can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks guys for reading, and comments! :)

 

As a mini text update, I have made alot of progress as I was free from work and my wife and daughter had went out for the day to meet a friend. I was able to sleeve the SATA data, make two SATA power cables (one for H80i and other for SSD) installed the SSD, installed the H80i, created custom cable and connector for LEDs and installed the LEDs. Then I took a couple of photos which will be posted up soon! :D

 

Stay tuned!

I would also love a whisky ;)

 

What do you take pictures with? And edit in lightroom or photoshop? 

I am using a Sony NEX-5N with the standard lens, and edit the white balance in Lightroom :)

Update 15

Cool thrills, and Speed kills! (H80i and SSD installed)

 

 

 

Hello hello!!! Once again, I thank you all for an overwhelming response to my last update, and to the build log overall! :)

 

In this update I would like to present the installation of the Corsair H80i, and the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD. The installation wasn't the ordinary installation of these 2 items... I ended up creating custom length SATA power cables for both the H80i and SSD, and of course had them sleeved to match the colour theme of the build. I was a little frustrated with the amount of cables which are required to get the H80i all connected up, and will probably stay away from the Corsair iLink series of products, and most likely choose a H90 if/when there is another build if I had to chose a closed loop cooling solution. But I got everything connected up and nice looking, so I am just glad that it is now out of the way.

 

In other news, I was going to drive out to my local supplier of plexiglass and pick up the orange plexiglass. I had called ahead just to announce that they could start the cuts so it was ready for me when I got to the shop (35mins drive away) but the guy just said "det är borta....." (it is gone...)!! I said "What the hell?! You know I was coming today to pick it up!". He just said that it was sold, and talked nothing more of that. He said that he had red or green if I wanted, but in a rage I just hung up on the jackarse!! 

 

I am now speaking with baguette_2 on sweclockers.com about possibly laser cutting something up, so we will see where this leads. I have a backup plan with using some orange wrap over clear plexiglass in an aluminium U channel with white LEDs lighting from underneath. I will not be creating a whole shroud wrapping the entire GPU, as I have a non-reference card, so it needs to be able to expel the hot air. So rather I am thinking of 2 separate plates with one being for the front, and one as a backplate. 

 

I have also started the painting of the top shell/panel. The black lines are first, then the red strip which runs in between those lines, then lastly the grey on top. This painting should take me around a week to complete.

 

The PSU shroud will be coming home on Monday, and photos due on Monday night. I wanted to make sure that the paint work was completely dry, so I left it in the server room for a couple of more days to remove any doubts I might have had.

 

 

 

Here is a couple of pictures on the SSD installation and the Corsair H80i installation:

How will you do the management? Like where will the cable be placed? And I must say, what an arsehole...

This build man, this build is there something in the CoC about build-logs causing sweating, a high heart rate and production of Serotonin because if not there should be!

I hope to make this PC modding into a regular thing. I might have some more client builds coming up in the near future.... ;)

Well the cables are sitting already where I want them to. This is the reason why I want them shorter, so that they can arch up from the PSU to their respective connectors. I don't see any other way for them to be in such a small case. Other cables like the front panel and front fans have been routed along the floor or wall and disappear under the motherboard to come out just where they need to be plugged into.

Hehe, thank you milk. I should add something in here about the build log causing heart attacks or chronic sweating! And it is all about the little things and details which make a build stand out.

 

 

I am happy you guys are liking this build. Do you have any suggestions that I can do to improve?

Metallic, the only way you could improve this for me is to dip it in gold:)

You're getting there! Will you be adding more leds in the case?

I have a couple of white and one orange left to play around with... But I like the way it is now already, and am thinking that more can ruin the whole look... So I am not sure yet.
