[Build Log] -------- "MONOCHROME" --------

[Jameswalt1]

So after disappearing for a little of over a month (my wife gave birth...) I'm back!

I'm back with a little something different - a video overview of the Hex Gear R40 case. I've never done one of these kinds of videos before so cut me a little slack

Hope you enjoy, and from here the build will be moving full steam ahead!

Great job with the video James! A cut above the rest, like everything else you do!!

Congrats on the kid!

Don't lie to me and tell me you've never made a video like this, its awesome. Your hand movement seems akward sometimes but damn, you should really continue making videos and maybe even ask for some samples

[Blackie Sheen]

No wonder why they called themselves hexgear. they do love dem hexagons.

Where and how did you get into moding pcs? Especially in getting sponsors.

Thank's very much.

[Jameswalt1]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Here are the Darkside LED strips I'll be using. LOVE THESE THINGS. Modular, compact, and bright - IMO there is no substitute on the market. The example pics at the end are just using a single 7.5 inch strip!

Performance PC also started carrying the strips and modular kits a couple of weeks ago

"Let there be light!"

[GhostWindGamer]

Those last four pictures are so sexy

[burnoutforzai]

Holy crap those are bright!

[Jameswalt1]

or it could be that the lights are out in that room

The lights are off, but regardless they are very very bright compared to other options on the market like bitfenix alchemy's for example. The single 7.5 inch strip in these photo examples is far far brighter than a single 12 inch alchemy strip with a much smaller footprint.

Alright ladies and gents, this is the last "product feature" update for the log (besides cables later). Upcoming updates will be loop progress and a fast finish for the build...

Care package from Canada... Darkside rads from DazMode! If you recall I previously discovered I'd need thinner radiators, so Darkside came through big time and even threw in a bonus 120mm rad. Not sure if I'll be able to use it as it may make the loop too complicated but man the little guy is cute

These rads come in at a staggeringly skinny 27mm and are perfect when you need a thinner rad. To be honest I prefer skinny radiators in general - I'm not a fan in the slightest of "monsta" rads and the like - I think they are ugly unless hidden. For me ~45mm is tops.

Check out these cute buggers!

 I don't know why, but this is by far one of the best shots I have seen in a while

[BossFrogHD]

Oooh Baby...

[Norman_the_Owl]

I thought you were crazy when you said the rads were cute, but then i saw them myself...

 

Thats absolutely adorable
