Vanilla Ice (750D) In-Progress

[AMD Lover]

Epic fail or not to bad. How should I redo it because I am going to sand it down and redo it.

 

Also if you've read this far I've got somebody working up renders for plexi parts to go in my case!!!!!!!

That's one way of doing it , but it's probably best to take some vinyl and cut some lettering out of it using an exacto knife and put it on the badge, I did it with my Corsair PSU logo to change the color and it worked really well.

Think I could get the MSI logo to print on a piece of vinyl and dry?

If you have an inkjet printer it may take a long time but it should, I printed my lettering backwards on the backing paper the vinyl came on so when I cut them out they were right way around.

You could make a cut out of it and then spray paint it?

I tried both, we'll see what happens. (Edit: Forgot to print it backwards, so I only tried one way I guess)

Here if you need the logo backward, it's really high resolution which should be good for any size.

I personally like white lighting because it compliments the build. The colored ones is usually kinda empowering.

i agree

Ummmm..... Guess what just appeared on Newegg >>>CLICK<<<. I know I have a 780 but should I try to sell it and get one of these. They're like 10x more badass than the 780's.

Not worth it imo, if you really want AMD card you can wait for the r9 3xx series since the 780 is still a good card

Just commenting to get notifications for this build. Looking super sexy.

 

Have you thought about getting the NZXT HALE White PSU instead of the pure white Seasonic? 

 

Looking forward to the updates!

All they have is 80+ Gold. If I'm getting a 1000w PSU then I would want 80+ Plat.

[Ralphington]

I'm gonna say go for blue LEDs, whites generally mean that you can see all of the dust and imperfections in the build whereas colours give it a really nice feel that sort of washes over the bad stuff. But obviously if your build is perfect then go for white.

[Bussinateur]

Was browsing PSU's, here is another 80 Plus Platinum option to choose from:

 

Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W

By the way, white LED's > Blue LED's

Fractal Design do an awesome white power supply. It is 1000W with an 80+ Platinum certificate.

UPDATE:

I got my GPU RMA back today. Unwrapped it, plugged it in opened GPU-Z and it has Elpida VRAM, so I looked at the card a little bit and realized ITS MISSING A MEMORY module. So then I tried to play a game at stock settings and it artifacted and juttered all over the place. So you know what, THIS CARD IS GOING BACK, and I'm NOT paying for return shipping this time.

 

Not done I accidentally clicked post!!!!

sorry dude, but i laughed at this.

How does one forget to install a memory module on a PCB, it's like they don't have QC or any testing at all.  :huh:

Does it actually show up with a portion of missing memory in GPU-Z

Nvidia: Now bringing #ramgate to the nearest 780 near you!

What the fuck are they smoking?

[Skrizzles]

Saw first pic and was like "WTF?" You can't have a black case and call it "Vanilla Ice." But I see where you're going. Make sure when you turn out the lights, it glows.

No it shows up as 3GB but the bus speed is way low. Instead of 384-Bit its 274-Bit

QUESTION:

 

Keep my Mpower or get the Sabertooth Sabranco? (BTW, this is a long term question... I'm buying a droid Turbo first)

If you wanna go crazy with it, go black/white camo on the tuf armor.
