that's it for now for parts

now starting build

first sorry for pics but they will be better

ok now only painted power supply and start sleeving
but everything start somewhere

24 pins sleeving

 

 

 

PSU and 24pins done

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

receive my GPU, its a reference PCB but not reference cooler, ssd will be white with a special ting on it, and painted 2.5 to 3.5 adapter for a WD black 500G

 

 

 

ahhhhh these feet are perfect for a Caselabs S3, this little red thing want race with my previous gift

 

 

 

 

I post this pics to show what happens with white sleeving with colored cable, but I don't have tools to do my cable, next project you will not see this again, but need to bevery close to see it

 

and I don't understand why fan look blue, they are UV, in person they are Purple

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really don't like where is the 24 pins on motherboard but I will keep it finally, not a the right place but not so bad

 

 

 

ait5 for other rad on top, I will paint the Un Holder and res mount white, and not sure but I think change rear fan for a purple led one,

I change connector for purple connector, I think I will put purple sticker on motherboard's 24 pins

 

 

 

 

 

with door, the 24 pins is not so bad, not a the real place but....., think if I keep gigabyte or change for an Asrock or stinger but its another $150 and more just for cable placement.......... not sure at this moment

 

 

 

 

 

I really like the fan In front, they seem to be invisible and only led are visible, change switch but the led on power switch are very low or dimmed, maybe in next order

 

 

 

 

 

I painted XSPC memory adapter, I really like the result
 

 

 

with side panel

 

 

 

 

 

I changed all connector for purple connectors, I really like it, I painted the res holder in white a lot better than black

 

 

 

 

 

 

look the color of the pastel purple coolant, wow!, I think its a perfect match
 

 

 

Like I said, still have a lot of job but I really like the purple theme,

[joelthezombie15]

WOW. that is so cool

 

I cant wait to see the end.

[Chris is awesome]

[WiiManic]

Love the little details for the PSU and SSD, and the highlights of colours for the sleeving!

[Nade]

There is only one word for this. Epic. Just awesome work  :)

[Night]

Snef the master builder? Your work is always awesome. Great job.

[TicTac]

Wow man your amazing at what you do looks awesome, amazing job!

[Nicktrance]

Snef's making another build??!!

 

[Snef]

HI

just download and ""Purchase"" Adobe Lightroom 5

and make some test with Lens distortion

and by the way I found how to take pics with purple led on fan
just calibrate the right amont of light

some pics

now we see they are purple/Uv led fan, not blue

I corrected the les distortion pon this one

look the fan with direct light, they are blue, and all hidden are purple???
loll the real thing is the one on the front are the new purple fan from xigmatek and the others on top and back are previous model from Xigmatek and they are UV, not purple
but in real they are similar, diferent only on pics

another couple shoots from the sleeving, made some test with the F-stop setting

with both previous, I made some test with different lightning source and these are for Saccima :thumbs-up:

and this one simply because I like it and the lens distortion work very well, need to learn how lightroom work, its a lot of settings, WOW

[VegardInNorway]

This looks amazing, your builds are quite eye pleasing!

[D.Dominic]

How do you have all the time and money for all of these builds?!?!?! Great build btw!

[raxx]

Nice build! 

[Exotath]

Those are the best "white builds" I have ever laid eyes on. 

[Shrubpig]

I lerv it :D

[Emperor_Piehead]

I like it, but i find the S3 to be a bit too boxy for me.

[raxx]

I must ask..where did you get those cool feet for the case??? I might be getting a caselabs case myself in the future. Thanks.

[epeets]
