When are you going o upload pics, or have you? I'm on a phone so I might just not be loading the images

Generation 0: The first time you see this add 1 to the number and copy it into your sig. Consider it a social experiment.

However, the large red E leaves something to be desired. Here is a stock image of the motherboard

 

Ever since I first saw the X79 Dark that was exactly the question on my mind:

What the hell is that ugly-ass E doing there? They could at least have made it

even (and smaller) and not tilted at an angle and so large; it just looks wrong

to me. Ah well, the way you've fixed it looks very nice IMO. thumb.gif

Also, +1 for Jameswalt's build, both the one you've cited and his current one

(have you seen the paint job on his new 900D? Holy crap! :o ). And the rest of

your inspiration list makes me confident that you'll do something awesome here. :D

That motherboard mod makes it look VERY nice. Love it.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Cant wait!

Thanks! I have been following James' Robocop build and it is nothing short of jaw dropping thus far. As far as EVGA's design decision for the motherboard... I can only assume they wanted it to be more recognizable, but it would have looked way better if the red portions were a flat or gloss black by default. It's hard to confuse high end motherboards these days anyway since the layout itself is very distinct.

Indeed, I suppose their primary motivation is brand recognition. But as you say,

the people interested in buying a high-end M/B will know enough about them to be

able to distinguish them even with more subtle touches (or just smaller logos).

Ah well, can't have everything. There are quite a few things which annoy me much

more (Nvidia's recent multi-monitor limitations in the Linux driver for example :( )

at the moment.

Anyway, back to your build. :)

I requested a certain pattern. We'll have to see how it looks when I hook everything up. The extensions look great though. Quality work from Ensourced.

Is there a particular reason why you mounted the CPU block 90* rotated?

 

That sleeving looks gorgeous. :)
