PWC: Project White Craze

[faheemrazzaq]

I have spent some time preparing this 'Edge Lit' Galax Hall of Fame logo. This will go in front of the pump and will be one of the center piece of this build. It is hand engraved on a clear acrylic sheet and back of it is painted black to add some contrast. Used white led's at the bottom to light it up.

Looks really good. Probably just the picture but if you're not getting as much brightness at the top, you're supposed to be able to improve it by engraving deeper so the light isn't occluded bt the engraving closer to the light.

that's a good point. I think pictures make it look worse than how it looks in real

I completed this project quite a long time ago but unfortunately didn't manage to post the final build photos. Here they are. I hope you will like it

Looking nice. Vertical dual monitor stack....there's something you don't see very often. Will have to think of going vertical next time I argue with my wife....build the wall a little higher

Thanks mate. Vertical monitor mount saves a lot of space; at-least in one dimension. You just need to get the monitor tilt right to avoid straining your neck

Looks great, Vertical screens are my preference too!

Thanks my friend.

Fantastic work bud... What lighting are you using in this build?... really impressive!!

Cheers. For case lighting, I am using Phanteks led strip, which is controlled by the case module (7 selectable colors I believe). The lighting under the shroud at the bottom is controlled by Asus motherboard Aura led header and i am using rgb strips there.

ANy tips on how you got your cable braids to stay put when you pushed them into the connectors?

I used the cable shrinks that basically melted the cable sleeves onto the connector. I removed the cable shrinks before pushing them in. You can leave them on if you don't mind some shrink visible. It is strong enough to protect sleeves from coming off when pushed in the connector.

I get why its all highlighted white now, works well. Temperature readouts are ideal

Glad you like it

Thank you Faheem have been braiding my own and the naughty stuff gets pushed back all the time. i will give that method a try as i agree with you and dont like the shrink showing

Just make sure that sleeve covers enough of the metal part at each end. This will ensure a good contact when sleeve is melted on to it. Once you get hold of it, it's real fun.
