[domthecondom]

Hi

Just going to be working on a new Gaming Rig. And try and make it look as clean as possible

The whole case will have a white/blue theme to it.

This is my first proper project and it might work and it might end up looking VILE!

Side Pannel: W-75BT
Top Pannel: T-713B

Should be good, I do like a clean look, but not so clean it's clinical.

 

[domthecondom]

Well, I am still debating, if i should have a whole white case and white tubing =/

I am going for Enermax Clusters so white LED fans.

I am worried that it will look tacky, but hopefully it will be fine

Only if you take it out in essex

Ha being from Essex I think all white will look classy.
Where are you getting your case coated?

Dom - your doing a VERY similiar build to me!

Looking forward to yours mate

 

[domthecondom]

I just had a look at yours Pauly, looking good

@ Panda I can't really say here as its a competitor. Google is your friend.

Ahhh my build log needs a hefty update, will be using a Lian Li V2000 for mine which is currently away having work done it, not due back for a while though but gives me time to get other bits done.

Wouldn't mind scrapping my project log and starting afresh actually!

 

[domthecondom]

I just ordered the top pannel and some a white braid kit (includes a lot of different sizes of braid, heatshrinks and some tools)

. I'll check my account tonight and see if i can order 8 120mm Enermax Clusters
I'll also need a DVD rewriter. I can then send the case off to be powder coated.

I need a minimal looking controller, as it will be sprayed white.

So far I quite like the Scythe Kaze Master Ace but I will need 2, as it only takes 4 Fans.

great looking case

but do a google review on those Enermax clusters mate, before you purchase, cause' these are the ones that i originally wanted too

 

[domthecondom]

I have, wane link me up to a bad review? or is it a competitor?

I have only read good reviews

Unless you're going for high speed noise makers 1A is easily enough for two fans per channel.

see if i can order 8 120mm Enermax Clusters

Made for PWM adjustment with four pin connector...
So incompatible with controllers for normal 3 pin connector fans.

i've read a few like this......i'm not saying it's a bad fan, i just thought that i'd warn you

 

[domthecondom]

Esat cheers,

I would have done a big mistake and got very angry after I placed my order haha, I guess I'll look for a new fan

 

[Mal X]

take a look at the Xigmatek, they're really good.

 

[domthecondom]

I want White Case fans

 

[domthecondom]

Ok the top pannel has arrived for the 120.3 rad , just need a DVD drive and Fan controller and it can go off get powder coated

Also my white braid has arrived, but i still got no stuff to braid

 

[LukeTW]

That case is awesome, looking forward to moar pics.

 

[PaulyD]

Looking good matey

Shame the edge of the case door isn't painted though??

 

[shadowscotland]

I like the silver highlight on the door edge - viva la difference
without it, it's just another black box
