well you have it planned out really well. Photography is half of what is needed to make a really nice presentation of a Xtreme PC,

Hi SNiiPE_DoGG

Juste one question. Of course it is maybe a stupid one, but anyway...

I was always impressed by people that get sponsoring, like you, from Lian Li or EK. But, how do you do this? Do you work for them?
Thanks for your reply Ian, I'm actually working on a P80 Armorsuit, and was astonished by the work you did on your Permafrost (which i cannot find on MDPC anymore)

cheers ;)

I imagine he cut his teeth doing builds without sponsors, and then sponsors started climbing on board once he built his portfolio up.

He might have lost a few with that pink fan, though... JK! :D

Well I have been building for about 3 years with visual modifications and making "nice looking" builds. After Permafrost I got in contact with lian-li via their forum and went through a vetting process where I compiled a portfolio and worked with a contact there to receive sponsorship. Once I got the case I began designing, starting worklogs on many sites, and sending more emails with my portfolio and seeking sponsorship. Its all about salesmanship and convincing the company you are proposing a sponsorship deal with that you are worth them sending you a part or parts.

Okay thanks a lot SNiiPY ;)
I'll post my worklog (already started like 3 months ago on different sites). Thanks for your help, I'll try to do my best, I think you're a good example for us all, because personnaly, I can see in your works that you care about each detail. As we know, details make difference, and that's particularly what I like in your mods! :)

Just to save it because you insult me and lots of others again with your false accusations :) I don't continue - you do. mistake:yepp:

Great looking build so far sNiiPE with lots of cool sponsors. Looking forward to the next photographic update!

Personally, i didn't think your last build was anything special. Seen loads of normal builds, powder coated, water cooled, sleeving, and waterjet panel. You only need to go take a look at some of the german forums, to show how much must people builds aren't really that great.

Excellent photos Ian *jealous of your 5D MkII :p:*. I hope your trip over in France goes well, good luck with the rest of your build.

Hindsight is always 20/20 ain't it? It's one thing to say "oh I can do that" it's another to actually do it ;).

Nils if you would review my posts, I have never criticized murdermod without first praising it. I do think it is beautiful and I think Charles' work is genius. If it is an "insult" to criticize some parts of things and praise the rest, then sue me, because nothing is ever perfect in life and criticisms can only improve us.

This is one of a few builds I'm watching as im working away on mine...wishing I had access to lots of the cool stuff most of y'all do, here I am, cutting a top plate for my Xigmatek using a dremel, files, and a drill, it's turning out ok, but if i had the talent/tools you do, it would have been done hours ago, lol
either way, kudos on the sponsors/great work man

I don't see a song and dance :shrug:

EDIT: all this argument is petty and annoying, so my opinion is that you enjoy it or shut up and go read something that you DO enjoy

I didn't say you couldn't have your opinion mate :D In fact I was quite nice considering that you insulted me pretty overtly there.

I love to see peoples great ideas and beautiful builds so why don't you post your work up?

Edit: thanks Dragoon :D I like to work by hand too when I can but I like the CNC. You will see some things later on in this build that just cant be CNCed ;) particularly the "thing" in the 5.25" bays - cant say what it is now but I know I will be writing CyberDruid a PM for some tips of the trade about constructing it. :up:

psst SNiiPE, I don't think you challenging other people is really helping your anti-insult gathering any O.o
just a suggestion? :shrug:

:up: See from where i stand, this build here is more planned out an more unique, and this is what i like, i'm not into basic mods that most people do, but on saying that i really like a nice clean euro style if done right.

From you drawings, you have get my attention, as i can proberoly guess threes going to be custom acrylic and lighting.

But as soon as body filler is brought on to a mod, i'm all eyes :).

I like your idea not using the accelerator plate in the supreme.

I currently have my supreme apart and was thinking about trying it without the plate.

Is it possible that you have any temp comparisons yet? either of your own or from somewhere else?

That being said, I can't wait to see how it will turn out and it is looking great so far.

I assume from looking at the design differences the supreme without the plate will perform the same or minimally worse than the supreme LT. The LT has no plate but its inlet is on one side of the micro channels and outlet on the other - while the supreme has a center inlet with an outlet on one side. I have no Idea if this will affect performance at all - but I can say that it could affect it.
