Corsair 900D Unforgiven - The Metallica Build

[Raboo]

Very nice

[alpenwasser]

Well, to sum it up:

Dat detail...

dat copper...

dat everything...

[Bluejay0]

The question is... will a death metal growl turn it on? Or a sick guitar solo?

 

How well does it cool?

 

Congratulations voice. You finally completed this. Rockers and Copper enthusiasts will be proud

[old reece frost]

Enjoy your (soon to be) build of the week award!

[Flamin_Noonga]

You know that feeling you get when you finish your favorite tv show that you've been watching non stop for the past month? The lost feeling - that you don't know what to do with your life anymore? That's what I'm getting. A truly amazing build. It's awesome to see it finally completed but also so sad. Congratulations mate on creating such a masterpiece.

I know what you mean. when your in a build everyone is saying ( I can't wait to see you finish this)  I can, then I have to find something else to do.  It's been a great ride. I'll have to start doing some promoting in different circles to help pay back my sponsors, but I enjoy that anyway. Thanks guys!

Hands down one of the best builds I've ever seen in my life

I have noting but the utmost respect and I some day hope to get into modding . You've inspired me

Dsgreek your an aussie, you were born to Mod.!  Just start out with something you think would make your case look cool ( to You ) and have fun with it. Learning new skills is the  greatest part of modding.  Thanks for the kind words!

Wise words! I'm probably gonna annoy about 109 subscribers to this topic by posting something that doesn't have a pic of your fantastic case in it, but why haven't you been featured on the build of the week section yet?

They don't often include them on builds of the week until they're complete This build only finished recently.

Dsgreek- I was looking at your parts list - Do you have these parts or is this what your planning to buy? In particular do you already have the 750D?  Secondly what is the main usage that you are building for? We all multitask, but we all have something's that  we really want our Rigs to excel at the most. Like Gaming, Folding at home, Multimedia?  The people on this forum have really good suggestions and I'm sure we can give you some ideas.  One last thought,  do you have a computer to use while your building this new one?  And how quick would you like to have it complete.  I modded my 800D while I was still using it and that was a real pain, because I had to get it back in operation at the end of every day! This build was mush more pleasurable because I didn't have to use it while I worked on the Mod.  Let us know what you think and we will start fine tuning some Ideas here.

Wow Guys, just passed 30,000 views I'm honored! And only 29,000 of them were my Mom. 

[flibberdipper]

You've gotta post a few pics and a video showing the coolant. Please.

I Modded myself into a corner by making the Copper EK emblem for the reservoir. I am using Mayhems Ultra Pure H 20 which has a very low electrical conductivity because all the minerals are removed. So should I get a leak, there is less chance of shorting stuff out.  So at the most I would have to use a translucent fluid, or I would loose the cool effect of the tubing rings magnifying thru the Res.  I do Love colored fluids, but everyone Is already doing that and the only place that the fluid is visible is in the reservoir.  I may try some light coloring one of these days?  That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

Well, unfortunately my upcomg build has pretty much been halted because of issues with the money, I'm just gonna put together a straight gaming build on a budget and see how stuff goes from there. I'm hoping to find an easy to mod and work in case and do some basic stuff to it. Besides a stupid amount of multitasking,its mainly gaming. The problem is that I've got no idea where to start D:

Well once I throw together my budget rig ( 6300 and 270),I'll slowly upgrade and once I'm don't with all my upgrades ( to my satisfaction) I'll figure out which case would be good for my space situation ( I've got a 1600mm desk,1.6 m) and im doing a full cleanout to make space for everything.

The new corsair 230t in gray or other colors looks great for 70 or 80 bucks. An affordable case is a great place to start modding if you make a mistake it's better that it's not a 500 dollar case. And you could up grade the case itself latter if you want more room.

If you like another brand, I can look at other options?  I'm sponsored by Corsair, but I'm a fan boy for them anyway.  The main  point, if you want to start doing some Mods an affordable case is a great place to start and I have been hearing a lot of good comments on these cases.

Thanks I'll be sure to give it a look Thank you onevoicewild for the suggestions and Absolutely Godly mod !

Also consider the NZXT Tempest or Source lines. The most expensive Source is 90 bucks, and it's essentially a Phantom 530 with a much less flashy exterior and no fan controller.

*Jaw Drops* 

I just went through this whole build log and not once found myself bored, this build is amazing and the attention to detail is incredible. I found myself laughing at the insanity of it, this is an astounding build.

*Fixes jaw and finally goes to sleep realizing he has to wake up in 6 hours*

[b45op]

This build is truly epic, Mod on man \m/

Thanks everyone for the kind words, The people on this forum are very supportive, All that and alpenwasser thrown in for free!

 

Nkucz I'm glad I could be part of ruining your sleep!  I really appreciate what you said.  Sometimes I wonder if I'm boring people to sleep, instead of keeping them up. lol

 

 

Well here is the update from the Asus rush for the Gold case modding contest.  We finished 3rd.  I am very happy with that and thanks for your votes.  I was surrounded by Asus logoed class builds and Coolmaster was one of the sponsors. considering the pictures I entered were of an unfinished case, I did very well!  In the end the Judges voted fairly. 

 

 

We one a Asus GTX 770 Cu graphics card. woot  The little devil on my left shoulder is telling me to keep the card! but the Angel on my right shoulder Is telling me to do the right thing and offer the card to Sam over in England. Sam did most of the design and all the rendering and I would have never have gotten sponsored if not for the strength of his renderings.  So I have offered it to him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll add just a few more pictures when I get a better camera in my hands.  This shiny case is hard to take pictures of. If I add to much light, all I get is reflections of the lights. to little light and I lose the fine details. These first world problems are just terrible. lol  thanks guys and Gals

 

[onevoicewild]

First off I finally weighed the case at 87 pounds.  Heavy enough I could pick it up, but I'd rather not. 
I borrowed a better camera to get closeup's and shot's inside the case. This shiny case is a bit of
a pain to photograph.  If you get enough light on it to bring out the detail, you get bad reflections.
These last pic's are high def so they are a little slow to open. I appreciate everyone following the 
build and this will be the final entry unless something big happens.  I'm going to give it a shot to 
see if I can get it in any magazines.  It's a longshot considering how many good builds
are out there, But out of respect for my sponsors I'll give it a go and see if I can get Lucky.
