-Tainted Freshly Squeezed-

[barfastic]

Greetings From Greece​

Another journey begins for Barf (and as usual it starts when another project is in the works!). I seem to have a problem... I need two projects going on or else i get restless and start modding household items... you will soon see what i mean...

Having not bought into the 1155 P67/Z68 chipset, i feel left out being stuck with an x58 board and i7 920 (3 years old almost), and as such i decided to buy myself a present:lol: (many presents to be honest).

Update....

Time is short nowadays with my new job, but i finally found some time to take some more shots...

XSPC Raystorm... High flow, Sleek Design... Perfect



Then i opened up a bunch of little bags, to unveil my fittings



Ive seen some other ones i want, but for now, these are what are planned!

My new mouse R.A.T. 9



Just this...

Very short, work and RL has me swamped, but hopefully soon, ill get some time to work on my new pc

Until next time... Happy Modding

Soon there is going to be a nice update

Ive been waiting for waterblocks to be released!

 

[Sanders]

Do you happen to use a program that adds the watermark and disorts the background, or do you alter them all manually?

 

[Alex]

If I had to guess he has some photoshop template to which he just needs to add the image and then saves it as a regular image. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but that just seems the easiest route .

 

[mactox]

looking good, I would have opted for the UD5 but the UD7 seems like a great board nonetheless

 

[zat0x]

Awesome shots. I really dig the orange

 

[noob2070]

That cpu block:O love it

 

[barfastic]

I finally had some time to play around with my new black background

This case is really a monster!

and a small teaser... Things are going to start moving faster now

 

[wemmetje1]

the inside paintjob looks plain awesome ^_^
follow!

Goodmorning Family :wave::wave:

Time for an update.... Its been a while, but RL has left me no spare time for modding :facepalm:

Fortunately, i found some time to play around with some of my toys, and i got some work done... :thumbsup:

Because i believe 1 picture = 1000 words, i will leave you with 24000 words

My Motherboard put on her swimsuit... EK VRM block, XSPC Raystorm, and Bitspower Ram coolers... Sexy






Here she is with her 2 7970's. Unfortunately the bridge i purchased was too small, and i reordered another...


Enzotech Stop plugs!


I have an idea for the Waterblocks, but i am unsure if i will go through with it...


The beast... Little Devil PC-V8


Panel Off! (after way too many screws...)


Plugs for the panel screws.


PSU Fan hole in the midplate


Cable Management? I think it has enough... hehehe...


Grill for the quad radiator


The trunk of the case.... This will eventually become a freezer


Amazing quality finish on the case...


Radiator stands and the PSU support bracket.


Το σπιτακι της αποθηκευσης


So lets put the motherboard in place.








Cougar fans, ive heard good things about them, so im hoping i will get the results i am after


Test fitting one of the rads... Its going to be a tight fit, but i think i can make it work


And an overall body shot of the case with a radiator and the motherboard in place.


I think ive given you enough food for thought

Until next time,

Happy Modding
