Hello everyone, I'm very excited with this build over summer. Been lurking and looking on the forum for a while but recently have been really starting to enjoy is and posting much more. This is not my first ever build however my first build log on OCN. Some new parts being used and some from the previous build. This time however I'm going to slightly mod the SM8 I have. I'll be adding in a basement/mid plate to give that cleaner look and hide the psu and pump. Main theme is going to be Black and Orange (trying to get away from the Red and Black ROG theme). Hopefully I'll try and get this build done by the end of the month. Hope you all enjoy the log (I'm not very good at taking good photo's) and hopefully this is worthy of a sub from some of you
