New member? New build! Shinobi XL white + orange

davido_labido · 26 Mar 2013 at 17:05

thanks 5UB, only another 680 to go and il be finished!!!

Looks brilliant, I love that colour scheme, my favourite so far. I was thinking about doing something similar with that case but have opted for the switch 810 instead. Lots of graft gone into that, well done.

davido_labido · 26 Mar 2013 at 18:47

cheers buddy, ive got another one that im going to be starting next week... a lot more money will be spent i think, but im thinking about going for the same case....really liked working on it

srobrien · 26 Mar 2013 at 18:53

Yeah I really like the shinobi, in fact bitfenix seem to make some pretty lovely cases. I would love to build a mini-itx system using the orange prodigy, it looks the nuts.

davido_labido · 26 Mar 2013 at 18:56

thats something else ive been asked to do, just re house a computer into the prodigy, not sure what colour they want yet, but i really like the orange one too! If they let me choose, thats the one i will go for.

ive also bought a xspc photon 270 the day they came in stock at ocuk, and i love it, its MASSIVE, its so chunky!!!

thanks guys, got a bit of a rebuild still to do, but it should make it a lot cleaner (and cooler)

ive just started to do a little bit of folding with it and it gets quite toasty as theres very little airflow through the front of the case. I need to do something about that, not sure what yet though :/

ToxicTBag · 29 Sep 2013 at 08:50

Oy vey Dave!!! 3 x 680's very nice indeed :cool:

Aneskimo · 29 Sep 2013 at 10:15

Wow davido nice build, I'm looking forward to your parvum it may give me some ideas for mine lol

davido_labido · 29 Sep 2013 at 15:52

Yeh, looks like in going to have to use one in another build though, so will be back down to 2.

And if I'm honest, my dual 670s are doing me fine that are in at the moment. With how cheap I got them, I might just use them to try and get some new people interested in me doing them a build instead!

Thanks man, I'm actually being a little bit held back by the person I'm doing it for due to budget, them wanting to keep their warranty on certain items etc. It's a little bit gutting as I've got some nice ideas, but as always the parvum isn't mine so they call the shots!

Tbh I'm holding myself back if it's possible on hardware choice! Cannot decide whether to go 3770k or 4770k coz of the watercooling budget I can grab the ivy and the z77 sniper matx board cheaper! Then it's the details like cables, fans and lights etc :eek:

id be happy to braid some cables for you, it would mean you would be able to get the colours you wanted, without you having to buy the equipment (that you wouldnt use after ) custom cables look so much better than off the shelf ones (ignore the ones i have in this build, the parvum builds cables will be way better, ive nearly finished doing the 24 pin (6 more cables to go, yay!!) once ive done them il post the pics in the build log to show you what they can look like

Hukkel · 29 Sep 2013 at 21:55

omnomnom those 3 XSPC covers GTX680s.

Yeah? That would be great, does it work out around the same price as bitfenix cable extensions? Colour wise it would be black and gigabyte green if possible! I will defo check out your braids in the mean time
