[TheyCallMeAndy]

Looking amazing David, can just tell this is going to be a beauty

 

[Confused]

Come on David, any updates on this one?

 

[davido_labido]

There are.... But I can't put them up ATM because I have no computer....

If I can I'll try and do one from my server... I also don't have my camera atm so been using my phone. Hopefully the pics will be OK!

 

[davido_labido]

Right, ok... ive plugged my keyboard and mouse in the server and im going to give in and post an update!!

First of all appologies for the rubbish photo's ive lent my camera out to a friend, so im using my phone at the moment, i will be getting better photos soon though!! Just as soon as i can borrow one, or convince someone we need a night of drinking, playing bored games and taking pictures of tech... *cough* Confused *cough*

so... first of all i got quite a few XSPC waterblocks.

i had a XSPC raystorm CPU waterblock
A XSPC Memory WaterBlock (4 Slot)
And a XSPC Z77X-UP7 waterblock ready to go... but again, they are all black!!!

sooooo its time for some spray painting!

Here is what i ended up with! I did do them in wrap at first, but i just wasn't feeling it tbh, i prefer the finish of the paint!

The XSPC motherboard block

The XSPC Raystorm CPU block

The Ram block top

Ive got 2 more updates that i can do now.... Should i blow my load all in one go though, or trickle it to you slowly <--- if you see that as anything other than an innocent sentence, shame on you

 

[Tonester0011]

Blow your load

 

[GiraffePencils]

looking good

 

[davido_labido]

looking good

Thanks buddy

Blow your load

sigh... as per usual, i never last long...

Ok, So... the case.

First of all, im going to thank

again for this!!!

This case is the XSPC H2 Enthusiast

And what a case tbh. Easy to assemble/ disassemble (although you do need some good screwdriver skills, or like me, grab your electric one!

There are 2 main problems with the case.

1) there's not actually that much you can mod, there's just no need. usual id mod for radiator space, or somewhere to stick an extra fan or two etc etc, but i just dont need to with this! It means its really hard for a modder to play with! For someone who just wants a case to work straight out the box though, yup, its fine!!

2) the colour. BLACK!!? ARGH!!!!!

so heres what i did..... TO THE POWDER COATERS!!!

i did have a powder coater that was going to do this for me as a sponsor, but unfortunately he didnt have time to do it for me, and i didn't have time to wait. So i sourced someone local, who did a fantastic job and in all honesty, cost peanuts!

With this case, there is actually a double beds worth of metal !!!

The base, this has 4 wheels on the bottom, i did put my cat on it and try and convince it to have a go like a skateboard. it didnt work. =(

Getting there:

done!

i will be getting better pictures of this as i literally only finished putting this together around a hour or so ago. I do love it in white. its beautiful. it doesnt seem so dauntingly big either which is a bonus!

Tomorrows update will be a bit more.... daring.
