Love the blocks and the colour scheme.
But can't help feeling if you used painted mobo armor (asus gryphon/sabertooth/M6F)
or made your own, would look sharper and more defined.
I guess in a case the texture will not matter and colour will be all you see.
Don't mean to be negative as I really enjoy your build logs, keep the updates coming.

Loving the build! Always great these are
I saw your post with the fittings and had to order them! - Having the same issue with getting angles, seem to be out of stock everywhere. If I find some I'll let you know.

Will painting the mobo shorten the life span of the board??
Just wondering :S

They will never know... I'll just say it arrived like that
Probably. As long as it lasts me until I get bored again I'm happy =D
Subscribing so I can watch this project develop
I like how the white 'flattens' the texture of the motherboard, but still gives a detailed contrast to the absolute flat of the orange sections.
Cheers buddy =D I'm happy with the outcome of it Tbh. OK its not perfect, but it doesn't need to be. Once its built it will do its job nicely.
LOL DAVE.
utterly mental.
I have seen my fair share of warranty issue products come back through our return department. I think it is fairly safe to say that your warranty is void with the board in its current state.
What??! ! I've voided my warranty?! FML. If I'd have known that i wouldn't have done it.
Nah, if your not voiding warranties your doing it wrong
Hopefully it won't come to that. I'll do as much as I can before iI use other fittings. I'll see what I can do
No problem buddy, I did actually have access to a vacuum former which I did think about making a cover with.
Then I thought buggrit, this has gotten the view count up a fair bit on other sites and it has done the job I wanted it to do (just get rid of the big lumps of black)
and the criticism is just as useful as the praise, its what gives me ideas!

That would be awesome mate, its the one thingiI'm struggling on now. I think I've got everything else!

Still hunting, got no-where. Every website is out of stock!
Might have to go angle-less for my rebuild.
Again, if I find them, I'll trust a link across.

I reckon one or 2 more and I'll be ok!

Well, i logged onto facebook today, received a message from a friend saying "gigabyte have been sharing your motherboard post btw"
WHAT?!??!??!!!
looked, and GIGABYTE and GIGABYTE USA have both shared my build log from one of the forums i posted it at!!! from there, its got 70+ more shares from other websites/companies/people! inculding MAXIMUM PC
Im really humbled to see something ive done somewhere so popular, so thanks for that guys!!!!
Right, lets get down to some modding!
So, not only did Coolermeister sort me out with a load of XSPC gear, but he also sorted me out with something else!
it meant cutting my case up a little bit, but i think in the end it will be worth it, bear in mind this ISNT FINISHED!!!!
Also, the battery on my phone was dying (yup still using my phone to take the photos =( ) so some of them went a little funny! i will hunt out one of my other cameras soon, i promise!
So....
The front panel, in all its white goodness.
soooo... i need to put something in the top 2 bays... the "something" doesnt fit yet.
lets make it! Time to grab my trusty dremel and cut off some little bits....
hmmm.... still doesnt fit =(
Ok... Lets get the file out.
Thats better! snug like a bug in a rug!
Have you guessed what it is yet??!
Thats right, its a Nice 6.2" touch screen (dont worry, the scratches are on the plastic, not the screen)
At the moment, im just holding it in with some glue from my glue gun, its holding well, but il be making a backing plate to hold it in place better at some point
so, does it even work?
Yup! wooohooo!!
I just need to sort the edging out (which shouldnt be a problem, i have a few ideas for that!)
so... another step closer!!!
Oh, and i know its not central (this is done on purpose, the right hand side (as you look at it) has a wider bezzle than the left, so if i centred the actual screen, the image on it wouldn't be correct.
i will be making it look better later

I've got a pile of 7" LCD touchscreens, was never sure what I should do with them
I think I have an Idea now

Another thing I wouldn't dare
Cutting your brand new case.
My S8 was screaming in terror already when I drilled some holes to attach pump but this...
Wow.
Dear Sir, did I tell you before that you are very brave ?
Awesome stuff.

depending on what you have i might be inclined to grab one off you if you have some extras! i have got another idea for one, but could only really grab one at the time.
