post #1 of 52

Thread Starter 
This is my second build log on OCN. I have two projects on the go right now, I have a prodigy build in the ending stages of completion. I have always loved carbon fiber so i decided to do a carbon fiber build. I have finished the case so far in carbon fiber and it looks fantastic.

The parts I will be using for this build are as follows

Case - Corsair Carbide 500r
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth
Processor - i7 3770
Ram - Corsair Dominator
PSU - Antec 1200w
Graphics Cards - GTX 690 x 2
HDD - Kingston Hyper X 128gb x 4

The rest of it has been up in the air. I have a date of completion for December 15 2012

I hope you all enjoy the build progress and the pictures as they come.

quick question, I'm just wondering what kind of epoxy you are using for the carbon fiber? Isn't the temperature tolerance too low (ie does it get softer in a 60C loaded case?)

Depends what method he's using... impregnate it, vacuum that stuff and you'd only need 250-350* F.
