lol I hear you but I try to make it so it fits in with the rest of my layout at home. Anyway I'm using the addition of a white this time what more do you want

I like to think my builds are still individual designs.

Yes that's why I put an ATX motherboard in there to give everyone something to scale it from.

You cannot get a true sense of scale from all the pictures I have seen on the internet.

TRYING OUT SOME RADIATORS

 

[USMC Modder]

Subbed for sure. I'm really liking the L1.0 from Parvum.

 

[imersa]

Awesome start. Nice to see the white in the theme. Following very much!

Ordered one in white and black and one in red and black.

Them monsoon mmrs res look quite nice, i looked at a black and crome one a little while back, not many places sell them in the UK yet.

I ordered mine from Performance-PCs.com

But more money getting it shipped which is the only problem, but its the only way i suppose. Your build is going up quick, im still waiting to final my case , not sure how long it will take but gives me time to save more which is good.

 

[paultoke]

Yes $57.80 postage is high but I think it is worth it to get the look I'm going for.

I went for a standard case this time to save time, the only thing I might change on it is the mid wall. I would like the main board power and data cable cut-outs to line up and be closer to the motherboard. Also cover the SSD drive mounts in order to mount the res.

Like this

 

[Mads1]

Get the dremel out lol, could always make a removable res tray, or get Parvum to cut a new midplate, although that might take awhile as i hear their quite busy.

 

[paultoke]

That's why I didn't get a custom design this time as wanted to start it now, plus I will not need to mod it too much.

Yes I think I'll make some extra cut-outs in the mid wall to take the cables then make a panel like this.
