Blue's Clues

[Travis]

First off, the computer name is mostly for comedy. All of the lights and colors of my components are blue.

I made a build log of my computer in progress and I have finally finished it so I thought I would post the specs and some pictures for you guys.

This was my first water cooled computer and only my second computer ever built. I started looking into computers in high school in late 2010 so I think I have come a long way. I am currently going to college for computer engineering and I hope to do stuff like this for the rest of my life.

I would love to hear some suggestions from you guys and any comments you have. How I can improve it, what you dislike, what you like, etc.

I replaced the ugly stock window on the C70

I did have to mount the radiator externally for it to fit. I am OK with the look.

Nice... I like the UV light and the new window, looks way better. BTW isn't it annoying with an external radiator?

edit:

Does the UV light reach the bottom?

I agree. That is the next thing I want to learn! I might practice on an old power supply.

I think this wil be a great addition if I decide to do it. Otherwise I'll wait for my next computer.

The only issue people might have is obviously the height and the fact that the fans are right there so it isn't too quiet. I don't mind noise though.

There are two lights but the bottom one is incredibly dull. I was pretty disappointed. I am going to look for a better UV solution.

I bought some of the Phobya UV LED's that you guys saw in Linus's video. They are very bright like he said. They are much better than the light I had before.

Here are some pictures. The camera actually made it look even more bright than it was but it does look very nice.
