Project: Monster ITX!

 

Warning: This is a long term project and will take a couple months to complete as its a build in my spare time project, so sit back and enjoy the ride.  :)

 

Welcome to my current Build Log! this PC is designed to be highly aesthetic / extremely silent and as awesome as possible!

Let me start by saying that this build will feature a fully Acrylic water cooling loop with excessive radiator surface area. This level of cooling / cost and work is entirely unnecessary for a PC, But who cares! we build extreme rigs for the fun and adventure of it all.

 

The Hardware:

Case labs Mercury S3 Black Surrounded with XL Windows. Including Pedestal Case (Black)

Intel i7 4790K CPU

Asus Maximus VII Impact Motherboard

Evga Super Nova G2 1000W PSU

XFX R9 295x2 Graphics Card

16GB Hyper X fury 1866Mhz Ram

Samsung 850 Evo 500gb SSD

WD Black 3TB HDD x2

Possible Slim-Blu ray Drive (modded in, Undecided)

 

The Water cooling Parts:

EK DDC pump with Bitspower Magic Cube Top

EK 250 X3 Res

EK Supremacy Evo (clear/nickel) 

EK R9 295x2 Waterblock/backplate (clear/nickel)

Alpha cool XT45 240mm Radiator

Alphacool UT 60 280mm Radiator x2 

9 140mm Fans and 2 120mm Fans (Undervolted sub 1000rpm, undecided on Brands)

Assorted Bitspower Fittings 

EK HD Tube 16-13mm clear Acrylic.

 

All Cables will be Custom sleeved by myself (first-time sleeving virgin lol)  ;)

 

I am also as of yet undecided on the colour scheme so cast your opinions on what would look good as long as it suits the black case  :) 

 

I hope you all enjoy the build Log, and follow for more exiting updates!

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

If you had a white case I would suggest Cyan and White, but maybe if lit properly Cyan and Black could look good.

Like Cyan coolant and accents

So I've Decided to to a Black and Yellow build as It's one of the only colors that I haven't tried yet, should be awesome!

I like the first one, but maybe with the second cable in on each end of the 24pin as yellow as well?

Also subbed as I am trying to figure out some options for my HAF Stacker..
