[ManxMan]

This looks amazing great quality picture also.

Dat dat dat dat dat dat dat dat custom sleeving on the non-modular PSU cords tho...

[IrishRock1987]

Wow! Very clean and neat! Love the color scheme!

[bob345]

This is an amazing build. Great work on that rigid tubeing

[FluffyNuggets]

How did you bend the tubing, by hand?Just curious since my acrylic turned out like crap using jigs. 

[weaverwacker]

Just one question, does that 120mm rad really give you THAT much performance? I mean, why not cut it out, then you would not have that bend, and crossing tube

Its a third of my cooling, so yeah absolutely necessary. It actually pushes out more heat than the 240 mm. If you have a CPU+GPU loop, I'd recommend 360mm of rad area at the very least..

Very nice this rig

By hands and a 1980's heat gun, lol. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it took a while. I'm talking well over ten hours. If not, more.

Had to void the warranty tho   I have faith in Corsair tho. It should last me years.

I like it a lot, oddly even with the yellow.   What made you go for yellow with blue, black and white though?

 

Nice cable management too, and how hard was it to sleeve all those cables?! Looks nice though, good job!

I went with the colors for two main reasons:

1) I'm didnt want to create a cliche build (green and black, red and black, blue and black) and wanted to be unique. I want people to remember my build. Also, I've always loved blue and yellow together.

2)My build was already 'blue-d' out, so adding a touch of yellow would be both cheap and make a noticeable difference in the overall theme.

 

And the cable sleeving? Oh.. the cable sleeving.. It took many hours. By the time I was done, my fingertips were raw. I broke one of the bins and had to solder another on.. it was a pain. Would not recommend unless you're a master of patience.

 

But thanks, man!

Ah, I knew it. I think I might redo mine and do it all by hand. Did you measure it or just eye it?

Mine is black and green  <_<

Didn't say I didn't appreciate those builds, I just wanted to be different! (Open mouth, insert foot) Haha

I measured some, eyeballed some. I think when I started I was measuring it, then when I was bending some of the last pipes I just kinda sanded them down till the fit properly.

Nicely done. GJ

 Thanks man! Welcome to the forum! 

[Kiwiandapple]

Not sure if somebody mention'd here allready, but Linus posted it on his facebook. So he for sure saw it! :] 

 

Awesome build. Very unique indeed.

I'm going 2-3x 480, so no problems here

Just seen a lot of people not getting an decrase in temps with their small 120 rads...

Thanks for telling me man! I literally almost cried when I saw that. He's my tech idol. I've never been so excited in my life!

If I was you I would have switched out that window and use one without fan grills. That would probably make it look a lot better.

Yeah, you're right. Ballin' on a budget. Only making $8.50 at subway! haha, not too bad for an 18 year old in high school though.

[Vitalius]

I would literally cry if Linus and Slick put this on the Wan Show.. I hope they see this. I put so many hours into this with the hope of making a name for myself as a designer. :rolleyes:

Just a thought... Plasti-dip the motherboard next time please. Covering the PCI-e slots (and all other important things like Heatsinks and such) to keep them blue and making the motherboard black would make it very clean (it's already clean, but even cleaner).

[kwlkid85]

Isn't your RAM in the wrong slots?

[103it]

blue and yellow looks smashing

I'm proud for you!
