yes, well im more of a performance over looks person im afraid, im not a fan of people who make there machines worse to make them look good, its there to work, not to look good

i wanted to make sure that the whole system was bright not just the bottom or top so here are some pics of where i have moved the white cold cathodes to

So did you notice much of a performance increase with the white cold cathodes installed?

Nice build build though.

 

[jacob1995knight]

Aha, so i see, by this i mean i want to be able to see my nice strong machine in full light, i dont loose any performance vy adding two cold cathodes, nice try tho

So i finally think that i have made my mind up on what im going to do next, i am going to get the Seasonic X-Series 650w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply and then to go with that i will get the Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 Individually Sleeved Modular Cable Kit - White , i have been doing some research and yes, they do work together, i also think that they will look amazing in the case!

 

[Owned123]

Not sure if you aware but this sleeved modular cable kit is only compatible with Professional Series Gold AX1200 only.
And why would you buy 650w PSU when your machine use probably no more than 300w no more and if your cables are not long enough just buy some extensions.
Overall case and led's look good!

The only way to get good coverage with white sleeving is to have white wires underneath.

I will not go into the brand or type of sleeving, but I would like to give you a tip; the tighter sleeving is around a wire the less colour shines through. You must really pull the sleeving over the wires as tight as possible and secure it then with heatshrink. Just a tip, nothing bad intended.

Cheers for the advice guys, i have a seriously large amount of plans for the PC anyway, i want to make sure that i join the 1000W club due to the fact that im looking at going into the duel or mabye even triple gaphics card setup, dont know what graphics cards yet, might get a different motherboard due to the graphics card slots on this board, i would also like to go to 32GB or RAM aswell, but still, got to get the old bank acount flowing again.......lol

 

[Something Else]

while you may want 32gb of ram do you realize that you will need 4x8gb sticks? do you do any ram intensive tasks that use all your current ram up? stick with 8gb, or even 16gb if you really want to fill your dimm slots

also the more ram you add the less you can overclock your cpu. with triple sli/ trifire your cpu will more than likely become a bottle neck. 2 gpus over kill for a single monitor at 60hz. you would be better off getting that seasonic psu and a single card like a 670 or 7950/70 a 7850 would be a nice upgrade from what ever that gpu you currently have.

 

[jacob1995knight]

True i guess, i will be covering all areas of use from game design to video creation to game play, i really do want to go for the 1000W psu tho

 

[coupe69]

Nice build, shame about that i5 sticker on the DVD drive tho

 

[jacob1995knight]

Why is that, just saying a little bit of information on what is inside

 

[BuZ]

Sweet. White lighting and case. You should have went for a blue lighting affect. That would have made the White look Cyan in some places which would add more detail and appearance.

 

[Tattysnuc]

Cold CAthhode tubes look so cool, and yours looks about as good as I've seen, but I couldn't have them in mine with my rig sat next to my rig. Very nice job.

How quiet are all those fans?

 

[jacob1995knight]

Hey there Tattysnuc with the fans on slow they are really quite but you can still hear them, however, when the fans are on high they are quite noisy due to the fact that i have set them up to create posative air pressure in the case, the way that i think about it is that the more noise means the cooler my machine will be

 

[jacob1995knight]

So a little update, i went for the idea of putting a blue cold cathode light in with the white, to be honest, unless you turned off the white cold cathodes there was no change becouse white is a more vivid colour then blue, i went through the stage of finding the blue cold cathode first then fitted it above the white cold cathode in the top of the case, here are a few pics of what it looks like:

so here is before i put the blue cold cathode into the case

Then after

I then turned the white cold cathodes off and it did look ok but still

So for now i am just keeping the white, i want to stay to my theme as much as possible, the final setup of my rig...... for now

 

[jacob1995knight]

So time for another update, I have been researching posative air pressure and decided to try and make my case posative, i have baught 2 x Zaward 80mm fans to cover the side pannel in the window:

I also wanted to add a little bit more light to the case (i know) so i have baught a 60cm light strip to go on the left hand side of the case:

I will post some more pictures when the time comes to fit the new items, cheers and merry christmas

 

[jacob1995knight]

Hey guys
so yet another late night post, my new parts should be arraving soon so i thought i would make some preporations to the case so that i could save time fitting the new items, i decided to fit my old multi - controller:

As you can see there are many different fetures, the main reason that i am using this is becouse i am fitting two more fans to the computer system, i have no more fan controlling slots in the case so i have to use what i have.
Here are the cables that i had to braid, 2 hours and a numb rear end!

I didnt bother putting up the pics of me braiding them, just like blue peter "heres one i made erlier"

I tried to make them neat in the case, it is really coming together:

Finally the front view:

Another great thing about this multi - controller is that it has a led screen that tells the speed of the fans and two different temps, here is the temp sensor in the case:

And the one for the CPU cooler:

Thats it folks until my new parts arrive

cheers
