YOU gotta see this :eek:

Don't get me wrong, its a fabulous build. But everyone knows that nice aesthetics and bright lights make your computer go faster.

I followed that build from day 1.
Fantastic build, and love the Aquacomputer kit which is inspired.
I preferred it when he had the Aqualis D5 pump and tube res combo as a single unit.

I still think he should have gone for a ROG/EVGA board for the colour scheme. The copper blocks on either of the aforementioned boards and the current sleeves would be beautiful in my humble opinion.
It just doesn't gel together very well.

My concern was he got to the current stage of the build and it wasn't working. To us lesser humans that would be daunting.

His $$$'s I guess , still fab build.

Query;

He used mdpc colour-x , looks a lot more pink than other pictures I seen of the braid?

that is amazing

Well I thought it was until I saw the rest of the build wow he messed that up.

Ugh... why would you do a red and white build around a black and copper board...

Exactly. Looks hideous.

Some set up though!

Too much money, not enough taste

I think looking at the specs that he has made some bad choices, all it says yo me is he is not sure what he wants. Does he want a gaming rig, A benching rig, A workstation or what.

I know there can be some overlap in the above options but this guy does not seem to be sure what direction to go in.

The direction of epeen, swiftly followed by a direction of fail (with the colour scheme).

I'm not entirely sure how his flow works around the board either, appears to have two inlets and one outlet?

Slightly weird spec, but pretty watercooling kit.

...Then again, building PC's is more fun than actually using them for some of us I suppose.

Building computers is fun? It's tedious or infuriating, depending on whether the components are faulty or not. I'm sure it was never fun

Diagro · 8 Jan 2013 at 11:33

This seems like a build specced by someone who doesn't actually understand SLI...

Anything over 3 GPU's is going to be detrimental... and there is simply NO point.

And the colours, it looks horrid... What a waste of parts

If you see it as a means to an end, then sure.

Personally, I enjoy building//tinkering as do many others

twist3d0n3 · 9 Jan 2013 at 10:44

he absolutely ruined it with his colour scheme, and he's got far too much going on for crystal links to really work.

nice idea, fail execution.

Yaayuh! · 9 Jan 2013 at 11:13

Colour scheme is horrible. Specs are great, though with that budget i would have bought 3 x 4Gb GTX680s (EVGA classified) or 3 x 7970s.

Mrjobby · 9 Jan 2013 at 11:33

Is he colour blind.

Looks a mess.

Bluntwrapped · 9 Jan 2013 at 13:03

Agree with above the colour scheme is horrible. Far too busy, nickel blocks would have looked better against the white. An expensive fail..

wissel · 9 Jan 2013 at 13:35

The board by itself looks amazing, the red and white doesn't. I'd love to see that board with black crystal links done neater

think i'd use black fittings around mobo+blocks or if you can get them copper/brass, your eyes are drawn to the white fittings more than that stunning board

that is a pig ugly build

It looks more like it belongs under the sink.

So much potential - if ever there was an argument of copper piping surely this is it:

Now that would be awesome with a bit of a polish! That piping with black nuts and fittings would look brilliant!

100% aggree with you there, certainly around the board area, his layout looks much better now.
