Anyway, now its time for a new build, so, as you WoW players will recall, rogue tier 2 armor, black and dark red, sexy! I know the whole, red black thing is a bit cliche nowdays with ROG, but its something I wanted to do for a looong time... so that is the basis of this build, dark red and black.

Unfortunately, helper rabbit is no longer with us, so this will be the first extreme build without her i've done, since i'm now going to have to collect screwdrivers on my own, decided to give her a mention .

Without further adue, onto the build!


Case Assembly

An extreme build needs an extreme case. Unfortunately, theres only one company who produce such cases, Case Labs. A few weeks back I took delivery of a rather... huge box...

So lets put it together!

Central divide with top and bottom chamber seperators

Add the back plate on

The top and bottom frames

Time to add the front...

Lets add some drive cages, and an IO panel

Slot the motherboard tray and adjust the runners to make it nice and firm...

Add the back panel.

Time for some sides

Sexy....

Add some top and bottom chamber covers

And finally the front cover...

All done! For now...

That thing is massive, love it!

What sort of hardware/wc is going into it?

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

Is that the Magnum Kindai?

What sort of hardware/wc is going into it?

Dual loops, for 2x 290x and a 4770k potentially. Either that or a 4930k... im still struggling to chose.

Is that the Magnum Kindai?

Magnum STH10

Go big, go 4930k

That case must have cost a fair bit.

Probably will be a 4930k build I was realy tempted by the 4770k seriously hard, but turns out theres only 3 top of boards in atx-e format, and they're all the wrong color

Awesome case, subbed. Enjoy the build.

 

[CharlieRich]

That case is an absolute monster

How big!? My missus would shoot me if I brought one of those home!

So Clive, the local DPD driver came this morning with 3 boxes from OcUK!

Oh, shiney

Mayhems coolants to mix up about 2 litres of blood red pastel

CPU and EK Supremacy waterblock

All laid out

Closeups of the block, excellent craftmanship.

CPU closeup, looks like a good overclocker don't you think!

One, sexy, sexy motherboard, with EK blocks installed.

So, heres some graphics cards. They are all flashed to the full 290x spec...

As fun as the idea of quadfire was, sometimes you have to draw a line somewhere, and I think 2 of them is plenty enough... for now?
