Customer requested a gaming machine that fits within $1,200 and had a black and red theme. I think I did pretty well enough and was only able to have it for about 4 hours total. Would've loved to have spent more time on it but I'm mostly satisfied with the final build. I honestly wish he had more in his budget to put into custom sleeving but he would not have had the time for it anyways. So yeah, I hope you guys like this, yet another black and red build. For additional details on what went on with this build, head over to my website HexagonPC!

Its fine, looks great although I would have gone with different part selection especially for the budget but since its for a customer I assume you had to make some profit off it too.

 

Eh, I could've gone cheaper on a bunch of things but he was pretty much set on these parts and purchase some of them. I only really offered the MicroCenter CPU+Mobo combo deal. As for profit, sadly no. :( I was helping out my brother's friend.

 

Are you a wizard? 

 

And why not 240 or 280 rad?

 

Yes.

 

This one was cheap. I'm quite livid actually as the LED doesn't work. We didn't have time to get it replaced as by the time I had it completed, it was 3.5 hours into the build. >:[ I should've just stuck with the H75 or something.
