[Build Log] -------- "MONOCHROME" --------

Jameswalt1 · 12 Dec 2014 at 05:11

Welcome to my next build! This one has been kind of on the backburner for quite some time, as I've been waiting on the case. This will be a very clean promotional build for a new case from a new case manufacturer, of which I still can't disclose... yet, hence the "censored" area of the sponsor line up above.

I have the case in my possession and will show it as soon as I'm allowed (very soon) via photos and a video overview. The case itself is very clean, well made, and just oozes quality. I look forward to showing it off and doing this build with it.

Leading up to my ability to show the case I will of course, in my typical fashion, be photo-logging all of the other parts to be used in the build. This thing will be a powerhouse!

Damn James, hasn't the paint only just dried on your last build? lol

Looking fwd to more of your quality work!

Jameswalt1 · 14 Dec 2014 at 06:37

Current parts collection! Some Titan Z pics inbound (and these Z pics are not a traditional photoshoot...)

^ Sorry but you need to resize those images.

Unless otherwise agreed by the moderation team, images must be no wider than 1280 pixels wide.

Spoiler tags should not be used in any build log. Do not put your pictures in spoiler tags. nobody wants to click every single picture individually. Unsurprisingly, they are in your thread to see your work.

Kipz · 14 Dec 2014 at 18:26

Will the copper tubing be nickel plated? This is going to be one mean build

GiraffePencils · 15 Dec 2014 at 14:02

Yes sir

Here's the G Skill DDR4 I'm going to use. I opted for the "value" labeled sticks so I didn't have to mess around with removing the heatsinks. I then mounted the amazing looking EK Monarch heatsinks which will allow me to attach the EK Monarch Ram waterblocks later. These EK heatsinks are seriously really nice quality, the machine work is top notch, plus the design in usual EK fashion is clean and modern.

HalfBakedJake · 16 Dec 2014 at 13:07

I love the Monarch adapters, especially with a Clear Nickel CSQ top.

HalfBakedJake · 16 Dec 2014 at 13:10

p.s. Start you bet fpor the case guys.

I am going with two options. Either the

Phanteks Enthoo Primo SE

or

Caselabs X2 Prototype
