So, I Am Back

So, Some of you may remember me making a post a few days ago about my new PC and I thank all of you for your helpful comments and support.

 

I have now updated the build and am trying to tie together a theme/style and name.

Note that the R9 will be painted for the non-red builds. LED Strips are also a possible later mod for all of them.

And so without further adieu, the builds! (Names are Placeholders, Suggestions in Comments? :D)

 

Big Red

Using the NZXT Noctis 450 Red edition and Red themed motherboard, memory and card this would be a powerful looking build.

No particular plans for painting

 

Neutron Star

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/q4WtvK

 

The NZXT Phantom is used in here and a combination of blacks and blues as present in the remaining two finish out the theme.

The R9's red segments would be painted in flex blue plasti-dip spray.

 

Snow Fox

This one uses the White Edition NZXT Noctis 450 with the exact same internals as the Neutron Star.

Plans are to paint black parts of some components white and the red blue as before.

 

Arctic Storm

The exact same as the Snow Fox but with the NZXT Phantom White Edition.

Same Paint Plans.

 

So, there's the builds. I made a strawpoll for voting here: http://www.strawpoll.me/6228864 .

If anyone sees any huge issues with the builds then I'm open to changes.

Hope links aren't dead like last time :P

Thanks again!

Edit 1: Fixed Strawpoll

Edit 2: Links are Dead. Fixing now.

Edit 2a: Links Fixed.​

 

Well this was a fun experience. Thanks for the votes, I went with Snow Fox in the end. Gonna rename it though. Cheers!

I could but I prefer the shape and control on the MSI version and I plan to paint some components anyways so it wouldn't make a huge difference.

Also, how do you do the tagged quotes thing. It bugs me that I can't do that :P

At the bottom left corner of each post there's a QUOTE button, press that and it'll quote (and notify when posted) the OP of it.
