That's quite awesome... Is that paint, or the marker?!

 

[barfastic]

its the marker... Its a paint based marker.

Here are a few more pics

I also did the Logo on the cpu block

And the VRM block

Also got some more time to mock up cable lengths for my hard drives...

I dont know if i am going to sleeve them or leave them as is, i sort of like the way they look, and sleeving these cables are very hard!

Update time

I put together a test system to check for leaks... But ill get to that soon!

Fans spinning

i was a little bummed out when i found out i cant have push pull on my top rad, i got 60mm of rad and 25 per fan... Total of 110, and i think the clearance is 95mm no worries though, installed the fans and the rad...

I also received some new lamptron buttons, they arent the usual round ones, instead they are sort of like crosses and triangles, a clearer picture when done will help you understand!

Sat and figured out the best tubing route... Im not sure if its going to stay like this because i am having a problem locating a decent location for my reservoir...

I must admit, i thought this case was big, but now that most things are in, im runnin out of space!

Also, my test system consisted of a quad rad with fans, and a 360 witout fans, my cpu idled at 30c when it was 24degrees ambient. With an extra quad rad im guessing my temps are Going to be even better!! happy happy barf

Furthermore, while looking at my case and thought there was a bit too much orange...

So i changed it


Coffee

Hot air gun

3M car vinyl (Black Matte)

Cut to size

Before

After

I was quite pleased with the result, even though its not perfect, that will change because i am going to re-apply it

After iw as done, i looked at my mouse...

and i thought that was too black... Time to change things

Also had the chance to do some more vinyl work on my GPUS...

Black matte PCI brackets

And the crossfire Bridge

Thats it for now guys

Until next time

[barfastic]

finally! i figured out my tubing route...

i need a few more 90's and 45's but its finally done!

heres my idea... (thanks to Carl for his idea...) Using 90's and 45s i was able to route my fittings AROUND each other... making a cleaner route easier to acheive.

It goes GPU -> Left ram (bottom) -> CPU in -> Right Ram(Bottom) -> Rad -> Mosfet

Its looking great!!!

 

[k.3nny]

damn this is looking good !

I Had some free time and finished up some mini mods on my psu... Here is what i did.

I think the end result is nice and subtle enough without chaging the actual appearance too much:

awesome rig m8 congrats !
love the mobo / color / barb scenario

 

[LeMoN]

Wow, awesome build so far. The combination of black and orange is always a succes. I've got it in my case too

 

[Leon89]

Nice one!
Love those Cougar fans, got them as well, silent but still pushing a lot of air

Μιcro update!*

I sold my mouse to buy another one...*

Omg! I bought the same mouse! Lol...

Its the newer version of the RAT, and it has a couple more buttons, but i really bought it for the orange highlights!*

I also installed the bottom rads...

Thats it for now. Working on a secret part now...

 

[Vissa]

Pure p0rn!

So today i got a small envelope from the USA

Very strange and hard envelope!

but inside i found a little suprise

Made a quick cup of Joe, and got to work

X-fire bridge = Perfectly the way i wanted it!

Next was the stickers amde for the GPU backplates

and an Overall shot of the GPU +Bridge, and ribbon!

Next up my HDDS

The reason for labelling was in case of Failure of one of the disks in the RAID, locating it will be easier than having to search through sata cables!

And lastly the Memory sticks....

Because of the complicated design of the stickers it was seperaed into 3 different stickers!

The first sticker was to cover a weird bump/scrape all my dimms have on both sides, while at the same time allowing for the glossy stickers that will go above it to POP

Second part is the usual Dominator three line logo, with a new font to match the build in gloss orange

And the last part was the white glossy letters!

And this is the final outcome!

I ahve atleast another 30sets so i can re-seat any that may come out wrong.

Right now i want to say a HUUUUUUGE thank you to Mr. Ben Lavinge, for helping me desing, customize and actually cut these stickers and ship them to me all the way over from the USA to Greece! Without him these stickers would of never been possible!

Unfortunately these photos will ahve to do for now, as i am without my DSLR. (Finally after 2 months of waiting my upgrade is coming on saturday!)

Hope you enjoyed this update!

More to come over the next couple of days!
