4870HQ @ 4.7ghz

Is this a typo?

Meaker · 5 Jul 2015 at 13:03

Lol yes it's 3.7ghz.

As for how things are going I have now hooked up the internal LEDs to the GPU too so I have a range of lighting effects I can apply

it took a bit of connector modding but I like the results.

Here is the lighting done, just got to shape the hole in the front a little

Very nice. Great work Meaker you must be well pleased.

Meaker · 13 Jul 2015 at 15:18

I am, just a few final cosmetic changes to make. I'm waiting on the custom cut design I am getting for the front.

CEUOTC · 15 Jul 2015 at 21:59

Coolio, looking forward to the finished result.

Just a note that if you guys are heading to insomnia at the end of the month you will be able to see my completed machine on display at the msi booth

Looking forward to some shiny photo's

Meaker · 9 Aug 2015 at 08:14

I had a first go at painting, it was not QUITE right so I am re-doing it. I'll post some photos of the process

Just the claw of the dragon left to do now

Some dirty bomb gameplay footage, Windows 10 353.62 drivers.

There we go:

Meaker · 11 Aug 2015 at 19:39

Some more game play, this time with AA enabled and the CPU at 3.7ghz.

CEUOTC · 11 Aug 2015 at 20:48

Nice!

Meaker · 20 Aug 2015 at 02:04

I just need to expand the hole in the plastic a little and do some clean up

Manwith Noname · 21 Aug 2015 at 03:24

Haha.

The firebreather. Like it.

CEUOTC · 21 Aug 2015 at 06:39

Looks great dude.

Meaker · 2 Sep 2015 at 08:22

Phew! The show went well, everyone treated the machine fairly well, though the odd person tried to lift the machine off the dock while it was on :confused:

Also right at the end (closing time sunday) one kid pointed and knocked it off the dock while engaged :eek:

however all is well

That concludes the project really, it has been fun and getting to show it off at the show to finish things was excellent.
