Inuyasha1771

Alright, the idea of this build is to represent an area of a game series I used to live by (Megaman Battle Network series) by building a computer that I believe would have looked according to the reputation and feeling that place gave off when you heard its name. To sum it up shortly; the Undernet was generally the most difficult area of each game, which always had a red and black color scheme, the intent was evil and dark.

Alright, let's move on to the parts I'll be using;

CASE: Lian-Li PC-P80
Power supply: Corsair HX-1000
Motherboard: F-conn Bloodrage
CPU: Intel i7 920 C0
RAM: Corsair Dominator-GT
Video card(s): Nvidia XFX 285
Sound card: ASUS Xonar D2
RAID card: PERC 5/i
Hard drive(s): 4x OCZ Vertex 120GB w/ 1275 firmware, 1x 1.5TB Seagate, 1x 500GB WD
Monitor(s) 1x 30in Apple Cinema display

COOLING;
CPU Waterblock: Swiftech GTZ w/ s1366 adapter
Radiator: XSPC RX480
Reservoir: Frozen-Q's inverted T-virus
Pump: UBER MCP 655
GPU waterblock: EK 285 block
Tubing: MasterKleer 7/16OD 5/8ID
Coolant: FluidXP Eco-Earth blood red

MODIFICATIONS AND OBJECTIVE;
As you probably noticed, a couple things; RAM and pump, are definitely over-rpiced and aren';t necessary, they were purchased because I HAVE the funding, and I went with them for aesthetic reasons. I just wanted to get that out of the way.

As for the case; I am painting it all black to set the background base color, detailing (hardware) will bring the red accent, especially with the amazing reservoir from Frozen-Q, the case should have a well moderated color tone and will hopefully look quite dark, without seeming over the top. I have a pair of red 12" cathodes that will be implemented as well. I am cutting a window of course, which will be clear acrylic. I had planned to add a second radiator on top of the case, and a vent to the right of the window, but the case isn't quite large enough to support the window AND a vent, so I'm stuck with just a window for now. I'll also be making some sort of custom HDD case for the 4 SSDs, since the 480 radiator takes up ALL my drive bays. and the CD drive will be mounting on the side (the side nobody can SEE!!!!) but hopefully stealthed in some way. I'm totally up for suggestions regarding places/ways to mount the other 2 3.5" hard drives, as long as you don't suggest external hard drive containers that I would have to buy., because I do not like my hard drives going through USB or ethernet..it's just a pain! So I'm listening to any ideas you guys have!

Here are photos of what I've gotten so far!













If you are under the age of 18, please don't look at the below photos, as they are pornographic in nature (nude)






(No clear coat, only 1 coat of black and a coat of black primer)




That's as far as I've gotten so far, hopefully paint gets finished and window added tomorrow, I'll update this when it happens! That reservoir is NOT the one I will be using, as I just discovered and purchased Frozen-Q's amazing T-virus reservoir tonight, that should be here within 2-3 weeks, so I guess this will be a while before I can water cool and be truely satisfied.

HAHA, why jealous? I would never lap my power supply, unless..well, nevermind, I guess I would, if I really had nothing better to do but rest assured, it's still as concave as ever

Thank you! I should be updating daily as I progress through it, though probably not much action after this coming Sunday until a week or two when I get that amazing reservoir by Frozen-Q

Motherboard and RAM arrived today! What an amazing color match, I'm seriously floored by how closely the RAM and motherboard match on color...I didn't think the red would be so perfect!
