The Project
Hello, My name is Lawrence Selly and for the past few years i have been heavily involved with case modding as well as software and watercooling. I have also branched far out into the world of car audio and have developed many skills such as advanced carpentry, Carbon fiber composite production and development and metalwork skills.
I have done 2 case mods so far, unfortunately neither have been logged or documented online and the first is currently in pieces being sold on. However my second build is still kicking and its how im currently online.
Unfortunetly as with all PCs things get outdated fast, so this time im only going for the best of the best, so i can get a good 5-8 years out of it and have lots of fun on the way. I also wish to create a silent "sleeper" pc
I wish to use all of my new skills to create this masterpiece and only select the best of manufaturors to help me with this project.
I have therefor been in contact with Fractal Design who are supplying me with a stunning Define R3 case and plenty of fans, i will shortly be purchasing one of their 1000w PSUs as they are gathering quite a reputation.
Without further delay i give you
