White Out

MorleySA · 25 Jun 2014 at 16:55

To be completely honest I just assumed as I had x2 780's in the rig that the bracket wouldn't fit, I never test fitted it with them installed, I'm assuming you mean the pump bracket that covers the grommets?

There was going to be updates to this build, I'm going to add some lighting to the case, I'm thinking of red and white lights! I was going. to get a red led strip to light up the phanteks logo in the little window, and use x2 30cm lighting strips to light up the motherboard and GPU's!

Thanks for checking out the final build pictures though!

I honestly might have to copy this build but not sure if the red on my mobo would **** it up..

Check mine, Black/Red/White ROG build, but please don't compare the quality to Morley's lol

Yeah the pump bracket, I actually had to cut mine to fit with the 780Ti's in place the original "cut out" wasn't long enough for my cards to work in Sli I had to move bottom card down a slot.

Yeah I have some white LED strips also but I've never taken a "running" picture, must do that as one of my strips is behind the pump bracket

A small part of me wanted to remove that bracket so i can see the cables that i sleeved, i do plan on making more of a feature of them and also contemplated changing the sleeve to white.....not sure on that front tho?

As for the lighting i wanted to use these.....

Do you know if the plug on these are compatible to the LED connectors in the case? I want to be able to switch the lighting off /on with the switch.

Those can be powered directly off a molex judging by the images on the product page. I used the the Phantek connectors for my side strips which used the dupont connectors.

I don't really wish to use the molex connector though, i want to use those dupont connectors that are in the case i hoped that those LED's had the same connector on them? not sure if they are!

Just double check but that looks ok going by this image, I'm not able to check my case as I'm abroad but I'm sure the cable is even marked LED for the spare.

On another note i'm thinking of changing the colour of my sleeve, not sure i like the black at all

i'm thinking white, but i think red will also look good??

I will be adding lights shortly, expect pics soon!

i do love white PC's! good work

WalderX · 14 Jul 2014 at 15:14

Nice build- love those fans!

Fantastic looking build mate. Looks like a great deal of time and effort has been put into the design and build of this system.

MorleySA · 13 Sep 2014 at 11:14

Hey,

Sorry for the delay with any updates regarding this build! Life has been far too busy just lately! Anyway i have some parts that have arrived today, here are some pictures (because we all love pictures!!)

MorleySA · 13 Sep 2014 at 11:41

My reasoning for buying the external hard drive is that i wanted to move the HDD that was gheto mounted in the bottom of my case into this enclosure, and having SSD only storage in the computer.

The new setup will be the following:

x2 60Gb Corsair Force LS in raid 0 - This is just for Win7 and Drivers
x2 500gb Samsung 840 Evo in raid 0 - This is for games and additional programs

Here are some pictures of the Icy Dock:-

Can anyone recommend a decent drive benchmark software? I want to test the performance i get with the new SSD's.

Atto is good

Crystal mark?

MorleySA · 20 Sep 2014 at 12:20

*^* My raid 0 x2 Samsung EVO 500gb 840's

MorleySA · 9 Oct 2014 at 17:32

I've done a few updates to the build mainly the following:

Added x3 LED strips to the interior of the Enthoo Primo
Added x2 500gb Samsung Evo SSD's
Replaced the Mayhems liquid (the old Mayhem's liquid although being clear had turned blue???)
I've re-sleeved all the PSU cables with white sleeve

Finally a few pictures of the complete build......

*^* I didn't really like the GPU power cables in this configuration so i changed them to one below, let me know what you guys think of either of them!

Next on my purchase list is the ROG swift Monitor! will post updates when it arrives!
