Nebula Nv-1 (ongoing worklog)

[GameDane]

Hello, i am new to these forums, but have been eagerly watching Linus on the tubes for some time now, the livestream (now the WAN show) has become a regular part of.my weekends, and i would not have it any other way! :-)

 

Let me start of by saying, sorry if there is a typo here and there, i am from Denmark (as you might have already guessed from my username, lol), so english is not my first language.

 

I wanted to introduce myself here, by showing you all my baby, in the last few months i finally got some money together to upgrade my good ol' Sandy Bridge rig to something newer. It is still work in progress, for now i have gathered most of the parts and put it together. As of the time of writing, i still need to upgrade my memory, my ssd, and i need to ad more storage. Once i have the final parts, i wanna get some casemods going also, i won't be doing a custom water cooling loop, simply because that is much to expensive, if i were to go that route, i would not want flexible tubing (i just do not like the look of it), but rigid acrylic tubes, and that is not something that is readily available here. So i would rather put the money towards the hardware.

 

The current specs of the rig:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Sniper 5.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k.

GPU: Evga Geforce GTX 780 w. ACX cooling.

Audio card: Asus Xonar Xense.

Memory: Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600mhz, 8gb (needs upgrading, i actually had 16gb, but 2 of the sticks were blue, lol).

SSD: Corsair Force series 120gb (needs upgrading)

Storage: 2x2tb Western Digital Green. 1tb seagate, and 1.5tb toshiba, the last 2 will be replaced with another green drive, and a black drive for the games.

PSU: Corsair AX860i w. individually sleeved green cables.

Cooling: Corsair H100i in push-pull (glad i didn't go with the h110, even the h100i didnt fit in push-pull without modding, lol). Corsair SP120 Quiet Ed. fans with custom painted green rings, and a sh*tload of green led fans from cooler master scattered around the case for an external green glow. I will most likely replace the led fans with something more quiet, and let led strips handle the lighting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Modding will include, painting the gase in a silver/green/black combo, sidepanel window, changing the psu sticker, and internal paneling to clean the inside of the case up a bit. Any further suggestions are welcome. :-) Comments, constructive critisism, and all in between are also welcome. :-)

Finally, the name of the rig is just temporary, so any auggestions for the name is most welcome!

Thanks!

 

GameDane.

LOVE THE GREEN :D

[TaiGeXGaming]

I actually really like the green! 

[MWildd]

Looks fricken sweet. The green accents make it man! Nice!

[GameDane]

Thanks guys, i originally planned on going red before haswell released, but when i saw this sniper 5 board, i fell in love. :-)

[Snef]

wow, i like it

 

always like green build

 

its me or gigabyte board (green ang orange line) are on par with ROG?

 

one of advantage was lower price with same or more feature but now????

[Giancarlo124]

Thats really nice

[GameDane]

Snef, it is no secret that this is an expensive board, imo much to expensive, where im from it is more than twice the price of the sniper m5, wich totally baffles me. But it sure is a pretty board though, and if you want a fully equipped haswell board with green accents, your options are very limited, hehe.

When all is said and done, i do not regret spending on the board, i love it. :-)

 

And yes, the green light trail is very similar to ROG's red light trail. :-)

Love the green theme.  Too bad that 780 card doesnt have the green GTX780 led like the stock cooler does.  Would have matched perfectly.

[GameDane]

Gjeven, it was my initial intent to go with a reference 780, but since everything else is black with silver accents, i thought that the evga acx version, wich is black with silver accents, would suit the build better, rather than the flashy silver look of the reference design, and i'm glad i went with the acx version. :-)

[Fiq]

Those green rings are absolutely amazing !!

[legopc]

and now imagine you have wc in dat build that would look FREAKING AWSOME 

[failwheeldrive]

G1 Sniper 5 ftw.  I like the fan rings as well.  Mind sharing what paint you used?  I remember others using rust-oleum with pretty good results (I think the color was key lime green or something.) 

[Nicktrance]

Looks really awesome, I love the colour scheme .

[bradscoolio]

You sir! You deserve a hug for that build! +1 internet hugz 4 u

[GameDane]

legopc, oh i can easily imaine how it would look watercooled, i just can't afford it, hehe. ;-)

failwheeldrive, i used a spray paint intended for use on cars, and i used it on top of a plastic primer. :-) The paint i used is as far as i know, not available outside of denmark, and maybe sweden. :-)

 

Everyone else, thank you. :-)

[Expo]

[AxelPeeters]

[Quantum]
