[ciobanulx]

Ohhhhh so hot

 

 

Daaaamn

Thanks guys

[ciobanulx]

 

Sexy Icemodz cables and LED strips are here! Thanks a lot for supporting me yet again

 

This means I can get them all in and finish the build!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These LED strips are awesome and Icemodz can do them in any length both the LED and cable.

 

 

 

 

Very strong 3M double sided tape too

 

 

Can't wait to get all these in!

 

Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for the finish line!

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

What colour fluid are you going with?

What colour fluid are you going with?

 

Will be using Mayhems Aurora II in white/silver

 

vga lean so much

The graphics card sits vertically and it is perfectly straight, not sure where you see it lean. It can't even lead due to the positioning and the shroud.

I think that's the joke. The fact that it's rotated 90°  :huh:

Ah haha well in that case it got me

[ciobanulx]

Nearly forgot about the acrylic windows, if you didn't notice, it wasn't on in the last update!

Before sticking it on I decided to do some engraving of the MSI Krait head.

It was a really quick job that turned out pretty good and it will give the build that extra bit of detail!

It must have taken me about 30mins to do all up and I think anyone can have a go at this if they have a dremel and want to add some extra details to their case.

Just print your design, stick it to the acrylic and trace it with the dremel. You can buy the engraving kit and use the bits as you see fit.

Check it out guys!

Let me know what you guys think!

Final pics coming up next

Cheers,

Alex

I just got a Z97 Krait, such a sexy motherboard. Nothing can do those things justice, they look so much better in person. I bet your build looks even better. You are my favorite modder ATM. Your art is amazing!

Love the build, but why did you go with a massive hole to fit your watercooling pipes through the psu shroud, instead of passthrough adapters.

Awesome man, I really like the Krait theme too! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

Cheers man. I mainly did that due to the space constraint and also due to the inlet/outlets on the pump - http://www.thermaltake.com/Liquid_Cooler/Liquid_Cooler_/Pumps/C_00002565/Pacific_P1_Black_D5_Pump_w_Silent_Kit/design.htm

Have a look there. They are so close together that passthrough fittings would have not worked with this config. Also having passthroughs would probably have not lined up with the res properly so with the bend coming out I can align it nicely. The hole ended up being perfect for the two tubes and they pretty much go through the middle of it. With the build on it gives a nice glow through there, you will see shortly

Cheers and I love Thermaltake

That coolant is trippy, but it looks like more than venom...  :wacko:

Great build, though. The PSU cover wrap looks sweet, and I adore the CPU water plate thingy (I forgot the name).

 

And the GPU backplate too.

 

And I just noticed the snake on the radiator. That's a nice touch.

SELLOUT Jk. Love your work man.

[Necrodead]

Nice! Love the hand done stuff, we don't need no cnc!

[Pitythefool]

Looks great, that MSI dragon plushie was a nice touch.

Thanks mate! The coolant is just Mayhems Aurora II, not necessarily meant to look like snake venom, it's just the coolant I used for the nice effect. I've used it in other builds as well

 

SELLOUT Jk. Love your work man.

 

Haha thanks mate

Thanks a lot I agree as well but I will probably invest in a CNC machine at some point.
