Project Frost

[Advent]

Ok, so I built another machine for a customer. Another white/blue build. Picked the 600T because they want to eventually build a custom loop so this gives them plenty of room to do so. Pardon the picture quality as I use a cell phone. Larger photos with more detail are available at the bottom of the images are via a imgur album.

 

Thanks for checking it out.

Nice. still dont understand the white and blue thing.

[Andrew0472]

nice build! really love that case. I wish asus went back to the blue motherboards instead of the gold and black on the z87 and consumer lines 

[Aleks]

Id like to know how you got into that area of work. Building computers for others. I am thinking of going into something to do with hardware.

What is wrong with blue and white? 

 

I rather like the colours in that build kinda Canadaish.

Why the 10000RPM HDD?

Why the 10000RPM HDD?

Because I they had one laying around. Same with the i7 3930K hence the 0 on the parts list for price.

How loud does the drive get?

Meh. Its just so generic and i dont like blue as it is. It just seems like everyone has a blue and white build.

It's not my only job. I wear many hats where I work. Broke/fix, CCTV, build servers, network infrastructure consulting, data loss prevention planning etc. The best way to get into it is to have experience building machines and not be lazy about building them, especially when it comes to cabling.

Not loud really.

I dislike red builds because everyone else and their dog has that scheme.

It's what the customer wanted, it's what they got.

I guess.

You'd hate my 350D build then, red and black (mostly black with red accents). See Project OmegaRed if you want to check it out. Specs are in my sig.

 

Should be getting motherboard/monitor back from RMA on Monday/Tues, same with the RAM. Will be able to get some more pictures with the RAM lighting etc.

No problem with your build just the color scheme. 

[Victor Golf]

That looks really good! I have always liked that case.

Its a sweet case. Trying to talk them into shelling out $100+ for the full clear acrylic panel. I still need to drop a length of blue or white LED strips in it for lighting.

Watchu talking about? Everyone has red and black builds.

Is that a custom mod you do to the panel? I would like to see it.

I wish I had the ability to fabricate but it's a part from mnpctech.

I was about to say, Blue builds are a refreshment considering all the red builds i see around here. My next rig upgrade is literally just to change the colour scheme. (yes, it's red.)

[Aleks]

I feel like blue and black builds rarely look good, blue and white looks awesome but so do red and black in my opinion. We need for yellow!

People build their PC's for themselves, not for strangers on an internet forum. The colours he chooses is not up to you, so please refrain from posting about how badly you've had your heart broken by his choice of colours.
