Posted October 18, 2015 Hi guys and welcome to my build log for a mod I will be calling KRAIT VENOM. This will be my entry in the MSI PRO MOD Season 3. The theme will be based around the MSI Krait theme and will be all blacks and white. I will be transforming the Thermaltake Versa H34 and show that you don't need a high end expensive case to have a good looking PC Here are the main specs: Case - Thermaltake Versa H34Motherboard - MSI Z170A Krait GamingCPU - Intel i5 6600KMemory - 2 x 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 2800Mhz DDR4 MemoryGPU - MSI GTX 960SSD - IntelM.2 - 256GB Samsung SM951 PCI-E M.2 SSDPSU - Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 550W Cables - Icemodz Fully Custom Individually Sleeved Cables LEDs - Icemodz RGB LED Strips Thermaltake Custom WatercoolingRadiator - Pacific RL360 White EditionFans - 6 X Riing 12 LED WhiteCPU Block - Pacific W2 CPU Water BlockPump - Pacific P1 Black D5 Pump w/ Silent KitReservoir - Pacific R22Fittings - Pacific G1/4 PETG Tube 5/8” (16mm) OD Adapter – BlackTubing - V-Tubler PETG TubeCoolant - Mayhems Aurora II Silver Here is a pic with the starting hardware, I will most likely use the AIO for the first stage of the build before doing a full custom loop.

Posted November 10, 2015 Author Hi guys! Time for another update! It seems like the MSI dragon has gotten out of his cage and into the build as I'm doing some test fitting with the Thermaltake Pacific RL360 Rad. The build looks like it will have a custom loop going in after all starting with this awesome and rather large rad compared to this case, already powdercoated in white by Thermaltake. Once the test fitment is done, out with the dremel rotary, jig saw and scroll saw on this case before doing the paint job Thanks for checking it out! Stay tuned for more!

Posted November 11, 2015 Thanks a lot mate Hey man, quick question. I saw http://www.evga.com/products/images/gallery/04G-P4-3979-KF_LG_7.jpg. I really want to do that to my backplate. If I use a paper sticker and cut it out, what finish would be good to put over it for resisting heat? If you don't know, thats fine. Thanks.

I saw that too looks awesome! if you use good quality paper sticker it should hold up just fine.

Posted November 15, 2015 Personally the heatsinks on the Trident Z's look much nicer, but it's G.Skill either way. :rolleyes: | ABSTRACT760BUILDLOG | RUMIKARIMU'SPORTFOLIO | G290XBUILDLOG || ____ | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 20, 2015 Author Personally the heatsinks on the Trident Z's look much nicer, but it's G.Skill either way. :rolleyes: Yea the Trident Z is much nicer I agree but you gotta work with what you have Are those TT fans really quiet in use with an actual build? Yea they are pretty quiet to run and also come with voltage reducers. They are slated at 24.6dB at max which is still pretty quiet with 2.01mm H20 and 18.7dB with the voltage reducer SIMPLE MODZ VAULT BOY - A Fallout inspired build (Featured Build - December 2014) - GREEN MOLECULE - TOXIC CHROME - PARVUM FORMULA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 20, 2015 Author Hi guys, All the rough cuts have been made on the case and it's pretty much all torn apart. It's now time to start working with some aluminum panels First up I shortened the I/O bracket and also the motherboard tray I completely removed the back as best as I could leaving just the PSU mount Also there is a massive hole in the top as well with some simple mounting left Made a cut out to clean up the front as well to better accommodate the front 360mm radiator Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more over the coming days which might answer some questions as to where I'm taking this mod by removing so much of the original case Cheers, Alex SIMPLE MODZ VAULT BOY - A Fallout inspired build (Featured Build - December 2014) - GREEN MOLECULE - TOXIC CHROME - PARVUM FORMULA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 22, 2015 Author The motherboard tray is now mounted in it's new location. What I am doing is mounting the I/O to the top of the case to change things around a bit Here is the tray with the aluminum panel I made The 90 degree aluminum corner bar is mounted there for a shroud to mount to once the motherboard tray is in the case. I will showcase this once done Also here is how I am mounting the motherboard tray panel to the top of the case. Using these brackets and other 90 degree aluminum corner bars and leaving a small compartment in the top for cables to connect with ease. Hope you guys like the progress so far and stay tuned for more Cheers, Alex SIMPLE MODZ VAULT BOY - A Fallout inspired build (Featured Build - December 2014) - GREEN MOLECULE - TOXIC CHROME - PARVUM FORMULA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
