Yet another B&W build

[r3loAded]

So, I managed to snatch a very good deal (if I say so myself) for a fully build PC. Already took the PSU off and used it in another build (which I will make a separate thread for it). Now, with this one, I didn't like the case and had one that I my opinion would look great as it's all black (and brand new).

 

The PC I bought for £350:

- i7-4790k

- Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark S

- Avexir "Sabranco" Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit - White LED

- GTX 970 Hall Of Fame

- Prolimatech Genesis CPU&RAM coler

- Super Flower 750W Gold Rated Full modular white light connection (in white)

- 128GB Hynix SSD + 2TB Seagate HDD

- Corsair 780T White case

- 9 mixed Corsair and BitFenix fans (120s and 140s)

- CPU and GPU white cable extensions

 

Took out the PSU as I said and I will be replacing it with an Antec 650W Gold Rated Wired. Also the case will be now a Corsair AIR 540 which I bought it brand new off Gumtree for £40. Also, I changed the CPU cooler to a Corsair H110i V2 AIO. The Prolimatech one looks a little bit to funny to me and would cover the beautiful white led ram.

 

I've seen a nice build on pcpartpicker and thought I should give it a try. I want to do a cover for the 2 drive cages from the bottom of the case. The cover will be made from a 4mm sheet of Perspex and will have the corsair logo and corsair writing illuminated.

 

The PC part is almost done and now I'm looking the do the bottom cover. I have attached a picture so you can make an idea of what I'm looking to do.

only thing I would change is fix the cable that runs up over the white cover on the VMR to more slide around the edges if you can. Kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. If not able, maybe get some white tape to cover it? Otherwise looks great...

 

 

Curious what that last picture is? No mention of it and definitely not the build you are listing and posting.

I will try to route that pump connector where the other 2 wires are routed. I did this last night after a couple of hours of driving and couldn't be bothered.

ahhh ok, so that build is the inspiration for the look you are trying to go for. Got it. Re-read your OP and see you touched on it a bit but didnt really illuminate it as your influenced build.

Not really. It's only about that drive cage cover. My build is nowhere close to that build, but I really liked the idea of that cover and will do one similar with the Corsair logo and Corsair writing, also illuminated from beneath.

Aaaaand we got lift off (sort to say). the PC booted up fine, though the fans on the GPU were running at full speed. That's when I found out what does the TURBO button on the back of the Hall Of Fame card do. Also, people that I showed pictures with it, noticed the GPU sag and I thought I should address that as well. Some 20 mins later I think it came up simple, yet effective. By the looks of it, this PC was bought from Overclockers UK as their name is all over in windows and their support phone number.

 

Still in progress with the small mod on the bottom of the case. Took the exact dimensions and hopefully in weekend should be done.

 

NOTE: Only one ram stick is illuminated due to fact that the light travels from one stick to another and I cannot capture both illuminated.
