Hive fire: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/120478-hive-fire-watercooled-custom-800d/

This is my first buildlog and my first pc where i custom changed the look of the case, parts in it, and it is my first watercooling build.
I have been subscribing to LTT for some time now and the weekly build log on the WAN show and many builds here on this forum is what inspired me to do this build. So i started to look arround for parts, i drew some mockups in photoshop, and finally decided on my theme. I did not want something i seen b4 many times (one colour builds), i also did not want a multicolour mess so my Theme is Fire. The colours in the build is red, orange and yellow. Most custom parts is in brushed aluminium and the fittings and res is in black nickle.

Build parts:
Case: Corsair 800D
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Formula
CPU: 4770k
PSU: Corsair 860i
Ram: 4x 4GB Dominator Platinum 1866Mhz
GFX Card: MSI GTX 780ti

Description: Meet Brenda or Envy. This is my photo editing, video editing and gaming computer! I have spent a long time creating her, as there was a few pieces of custom work that needed to be done to be able to create it exactly how I wanted it (cutting dual 120mm in the front of the case.). The computer was designed for great performance whilst keeping the system cool and quiet (it was also made to look AWESOME!).  I can safely say that it was a success! I am extremely happy with the build and how it has come out. It will be used to the max for many years to come!

Titanfall Special Edition PC: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/130639-titanfall-special-edition-pc/

 

Well here is one of my first ever custom mods, theme based off the popular new title, Titanfall. I had only 1 week to build this (back home for spring break) so it may not be as in depth as I had imagined, but I believe it turned out nice nonetheless. The hardware is nothing special, this is a mid-range build, capable of running Titanfall! Let me know what you think!

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K @3.8GHz

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy

Motherboard: MSI FM2-A75IA-E53

Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Dual-X

HDD: WD Blue 1TB

SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600 MHz

PSU: Corsair CX600

OS: Windows 7

Thread URL : http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/108774-build-log-project-rampage-ii-caselabs-sth10-tri-sli-780ti-full-wc/

Description :

 

This is the successor build for my previous build Project Rampage, this build is codenamed Project Rampage II. The initial plan for the build is very simple, which is just upgrade the casing from Corsair 800D to Caselabs STH10 or Corsair 900D and also add in one more radiator to the loop.

 

But as the build starts, more ideas flow in and in became a major upgrade to all aspects, watercooling, thermal control, performance, aesthetic, cable management.

 

I am very pleased with this build as this build had been very successful and had acceded what I wish to achieve. Currently the build is fully automated with the thermal control. Cable management had also improved over the previous build as more planning had done in terms of routing the cables as well as custom made PSU cables are made.

 

In terms of performance, I had replaced the 680 GTX SLI with GTX 780TI 3-Way SLI. This had improved my gaming performance tremendously, as the cards are able to clock higher due to the better water cooling setup I had installed.

Neptune 2.0 :http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/113719-complete-neptune-20-reverse-polarity-nzxt-switch-810-reverse-atx-dwood-pedestal-build/#entry1519778

Description : I was completely content with the former version of Neptune (http://linustechtips...-cooled-build/) but a Dwood pedestal had me putting the mod hat back on once again. This time, I jump off the cookie cutter trend of case configurations and reversed the case to build a one-off system that would never be mistaken as an LD or 900D ripoff. My plan worked as some could not identify what this behemoth of a case was as they stare into the acrylic tubes that flow seamlessly into its mid panel which resembles a pool Mayhems Pastel Blue Berry coolant.

Everything in this build, from the bent acrylic panels and tubing, down to every single paracord sleeved cable, was built in-house and not outsourced (except for my CF SLI cover, which was laser cut at work with the help of a good friend and fellow PC modder:p). I can happily say that I am now completely content to have finally completed the dream machine I have always wanted. I hope you guys enjoy watching it unfold as much as I enjoyed building it.  Future plans will include Maxwell GPUs (skipping Geforce 700 series).

Green Hornet 250D : http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/118204-green-hornet-250d-finished-hq-pics-added/
Description : What we have here is a Corsair 250D with full custom cpu/gpu water loop, thick 140 rad, 30mm thick 240 rad (and still fit the Z87i's daughter board), and fully functioning 5.25" optical drive all without any case mods. I believe that this is the most stuffed 250D build that has been created. This rig is an all purpose build to handle CAD work, gaming, audio/video editing, and general HTPC duties. CPU temp stays under 60°C and gpu has yet to break 43°C after 4+ hours constant abuse.  Build completed March 2nd.
 
Future plans include potentially adding a 160mm rad to the loop when it comes time to replace the coolant.

This is my first big build where I tried to make a prodigy as clean as I could with the parts I had at hand.

 

Picture (the build is now done, but there are two runs missing in this picture, this is because I could not find a better of of the build done. I can take more if necessary):
