Build So Far

[TB-303]

Its a work in progress.. Sorry its not a build log.

 

 

 

The bottom is a mess, thats the next project. Might replace the PSU and use Corsairs aftermarket cables.

Pretty nice a clean build. Good job!

[TicTac]

looks awesome you did a good job!

[Nicktrance]

Very nice, clean build :D You might want to use some sort of fan grill on the bottom fan to avoid cables getting caught or you might want to get rid of it, since there will still be positive pressure in the case and I doubt it makes much difference.

[TB-303]

Thanks,

 

good idea Nick I'll do that. I have had cables caught down there before.

[alpenwasser]

Pretty neat! :)

Once you've sorted out that cable mess at the bottom this will be really nice and

clean. If you get rid of the bottom fan it should make tidying up the bottom cables

quite a bit easier, but that's for you to know of course ;)

Nice build! Love the look with the Corsair AF's! Did you consider the H100i?

[Parkway Drive]

Thats some really nice cable management you got there. I love to see the effort people go through to get their builds nice. Be proud of your work.

Will be looking forward to any changes. with that was a silver sticker on the PSU to match the platinums

I love the side window with the R4, it's simple and makes the case look so good. Wish there was a H100i for the CPU but i understand if you get stretched on budget

 

Great jobs, keep it up

[TB-303]

Thanks everyone, its nice to hear positive feedback from people who appreciate builds.

 

There wasn't really a budget as its an ongoing build. The H100i seemed quite cumbersome but I might consider one in the future. I will be updating with a new PSU and cable management. Im going for a subtle and clean look, I will get there eventually.  

[TB-303]

Now finished the build. ;)

Colourful!

Stripped out the wiring.

Trying to group the cables as much as possible, difficult with voltage changers on each fan! I'm not experienced with cable management.

New PSU in, using the Corsair graphite after market cables.

Struggling to keep it tight because of all the extra sata/molex connections all over the place.

Stuck a metal grill on the bottom fan, thanks NickTrance for the advice.

Sorry about the terrible photography, you get the idea...

Its took a lot of time and money but its ended up way better than I expected, and I didn't break any of the components.
