Project: SnowBlind

Rasphelt · 24 Jul 2016 at 15:27

Hi guys,

This is my thread for my next project - SnowBlind.

This build has come about as a consequence of my last build - One-Above-All. Having such a big project, that honestly will always be getting upgraded or changed, leaves me with a problem - no PC while upgrading.

So I decided that I needed a smaller, no nonsense gaming build to tide me over when OAA is in pieces!

Here is my parts list and status:

CaseLabs BH4 (White) Case - Delivered
Corasair SF600 PSU - Delivered
MSI B150 Arctic Mortar MATX Motherboard - Delivered
Intel i5 6600k CPU - Delivered
16Gb 4x4 DDR4 Ballistix Sport LT (White) RAM - Delivered
MSI Gaming X 1080 GPU - Taken from The Mad Titan project!
Cryorig A40 AIO CPU Cooler - Delivered
Corsair ML120 Pro LED White 120mm Fan (4 of) - Part Delivered
Samsung 250GB 850 EVO M.2 SSD - Delivered

Updates to follow as the build progresses over the next few weeks!

Cheers
Ras

P.s. Snowblind reference comes from this book http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=13491607633&searchurl=kn%3Dhirst%26tn%3Dsnowblind%26sortby%3D17

Components in.

What's left to do:
Custom 1080 Twin Frozr paint job and led's (white)
Custom 1080 backplate (mirror)
Last two Corsairfans for the AIO cpu cooler
Cable tidying etc

Then I am all done!

A few nasty pics:

The 1080 barely fits!!

It does look a little like that other robot from WALL-E! :-D

I know.... I must resist the urge... This is supposed to be my interim gaming rig when The Mad Titan is being upgraded... But I really want white pastel liquid in it...............

I love it. Honestly both my projects are Caselabs and I think I will struggle to ever go anywhere else unless it's for a show piece. The quality is amazing and they are a dream to build in!

Cheers guys, I really appreciate the support!
