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

So after disappearing for a little of over a month (my wife gave birth...) I'm back!

I'm back with a little something different - a video overview of the Hex Gear R40 case. I've never done one of these kinds of videos before so cut me a little slack

Hope you enjoy, and from here the build will be moving full steam ahead!

Here are the Darkside LED strips I'll be using. LOVE THESE THINGS. Modular, compact, and bright - IMO there is no substitute on the market. The example pics at the end are just using a single 7.5 inch strip!

Wow, I can see why you rate them. Very even light distribution too by the looks of it? They come in different colours?

Oh and congrats on the new 'little modder'

Yup, different colors and sizes. Tons of options!

Alright ladies and gents, this is the last "product feature" update for the log (besides cables later). Upcoming updates will be loop progress and a fast finish for the build...

Care package from Canada... Darkside rads! If you recall I previously discovered I'd need thinner radiators, so Darkside came through big time and even threw in a bonus 120mm rad. Not sure if I'll be able to use it as it may make the loop too complicated but man the little guy is cute

These rads come in at a staggeringly skinny 27mm and are perfect when you need a thinner rad. To be honest I prefer skinny radiators in general - I'm not a fan in the slightest of "monsta" rads and the like - I think they are ugly unless hidden. For me ~45mm is tops.

Check out these cute buggers!
