This is epic! How about routing pci-e cables from the top part down to the gpu´s?

I hope we will se more casemods from you, keep up the good work!

Looks very good.
What I hate is the red.
Everyone uses red for builds like this. Blue is more rare, blacka and white too.
Other colors are never seen I think.

Great choice of components. I like the case you chose and those mods you did.

The only change I would make is to paint those added aluminum pieces matt black to match the case. That way they blend in nicely and the case suddenly looks like some special edition or something. It improves the contrast between the light and the background. Maybe take some new pictures without as much bleeding coming out from the lit areas.

The next step would be to maybe throw in a custom water cooling kit in there to get the noise down a bit. However expensive and complicated if you need to change your configuration. If the noise does not bother you, maybe keep it like it is.

You shuld have used a gigabyte Motherboard and Gigabyte's GTX 680 SOC with side mounted fans. And then used a blue theme instead of the usual red that we have seen from every one be fore you.

Other than that it's a realy nice build and you have exelent craftmanship.

För att MetallicAcid kommuniserar bättre på Engelska, om jag har förstått rätt.

Because MetallicAcid has an easier time communicating in English. That is, If I've understood correctly.

Thank you! I have considered the routing of the cables through the plate as you mentioned, and have plans on doing this the next time I "upgrade".

I understand what you mean, and I respect your opinion. Red is the colour of the ROG theme though... But this said, I can easily change the colour/mood of this build as I have installed RGB LED's, I can change the rings on the Corsair SP120 (or paint them if I don't want blue or white), and resleeve the red cables with another clolour. These changes should take no more than 2 hours to complete

Thanks for the tips S. I have considered painting these panels black, and might still do it in the near future. As for the photos, I am still just learning how to take pictures, so the quality isn't the best And for the watercooling, it is DEFINITELY on the TO-DO list.

Thanks for your opinion! If I do another full mod (and not just upgrade this one) then I definitely want to have a look into using different colour schemes to make that build unique.

Skrivet av NJB Mods:

Keep it up! just an absolute stunning build you got there, I have one question how did you cut the led lines? Did you use a dremel?

Thanks for checking out the build mate! The lines were drawn on first by hand, I then drilled holes at every point the line was going to change direction, then used a coping saw to cut out the lines from hole to hole. I then took a file, and got that line as straight as I could get it. The dremel would have been too big and would have left too many scars on the metal due to inaccuracy.

Skrivet av zzcool:

why are people writing in english when they know/understand swedish i have seen it several times now on swec

why?

Well, I am from Australia, and have trouble writing Swedish. Unfortunately, there are people who like to criticize spelling and grammatical errors in a very mean and nasty way. This has made me want to type in only English until which point I feel more than confident in my Swedish skills. But, I speak Swedish almost fluently, and understand everything that I read and hear. I am learning new words every day, and continue to build my "ordsbibliotek"
