Hello everyone!
After following the overclock.net forum for a while I finally decided to jump in. Especially the build logs have been the "wow" -factor here and the main reason for me to join. Build logs have been a huge inspiration to my own project. Project BadBoy is my first project and I have noticed that there is still a lot to learn. It really is hard to keep up with some of the projects here but I'll try my best!
I have been building this project roughly six months and it is now finished. Due to this fact the project will be presented backwards. First I will show where the project is now and after that I will show some of the major parts of the project
I still have some ideas that I might implement during the summer. The changes are more about the finishing than any big changes but I'll be sure to post them here if it gets to that.
Any feedback, comments and suggestions you guys have are more than welcome! I hope you'll enjoy watching the project!
Cheers!

Major steps
- Custom water cooling
- Custom made cables with MDPC-X sleeve (crimping + sleeving)
- Custom painted fans
- Custom painted radiators
- Custom painted exterior parts
