My Powershot does not really captuire the pearlescent effect well. To the nekkid eyebulb it is exactly like pearls...very subtle with an opalescent sheen and some fine grained metallic sparkle. It's tough as hell too

Thanks for the work man! That is going to look disturbed once you get all the black in there to contrast it.

Excellent work Cyber!

Sniipe beautiful color choice.

Trust me after the case is shiny and ready like that the rest should be a breeze!

Now back to work we want more pics soon:

[Jor3lBR]

375 but it is a very expensive color

Just saw that important detail! Don't complain about my Cryo-Z EVER again!

Just saw that important detail! Don't complain about my Cryo-Z EVER again!

I know right? it turned out to be more than I wanted to pay originally, but the the spirit of the great watercooling god in the sky inspired me to just do it.

seriously though I am all out of money because all of my extra cash I had in another account had to go to college tuition as a result of stock market crashes and devalued MF's. it F***ing sucks.


No worries though, I have everything and more than what I need now. once I get my comp apart I will be able to sell a lot of parts, watch the FS for some good deals on MCW-60s, MCR320s, my kickass mushkin ram and maybe my DFI-x38.

Christmas will bring money from relatives and some new presents as well

I got my superannuation report yesterday and the value of my super fund decreased by 40%. Luckily I'm only 20 so there isn't much anyway and I don't give a crap BUT imagine if I was going to retire next year. . . . .. .

I love the colour from CDs photos so if it looks even better then that's awesome.

All of this thanks to:
CyberDruid's
Excellent Powdercoat Service (link, click to see service thread!)

It's perfect and the color is MUCH whiter than it appears in some of the pics!

Photo credit goes to CyberDruid as well

This is an absolutely flawless and exquisite finish - like porcelain. Keep up the exceptional work ...

[Eddie3dfx]

Wow, that powdercoat job is one of the best I've ever seen.
May I ask how much?

all prices are on CD's service thread, linked in the picture post

Absolutely Gorgeous Sniipe! I'm seriously taking steps backward on my build now just to rethink/redo my paint job due to the inspiration spawned by your build here and a few others.

I got my superannuation report yesterday and the value of my super fund decreased by 40%. Luckily I'm only 20 so there isn't much anyway and I don't give a crap BUT imagine if I was going to retire next year. . . . .. .

That's why I keep my money under my mattress and burried in random locations around the property... plus when I forget where I burried money I get to go on treasure hunts!!!

[TedShred]

absolutely beautiful

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

thanks for all the kind words guys


quick update that tonight I snagged a 4870x2 for only $320 shipped

it will be included in this build and I believe it will also feature swiftech's caldera block assuming it is released in a timely manner

[evil-98]

you lucky DoGG...

[Serpentarius]

loooking good ..
i'm damm curious bout how the rad placement turns out .. it has been in my mind for sometime to know if sandwiching 2 rads is better than single good rad
need more updates ...

[inCore]

Looking good, I'm a little jealous about the 4870X2, we pay 500 dollars here in Switzerland.

Serpentarius, have a look at HESmelaugh's testing: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=206829

[HESmelaugh]

Yes, sandwich away! :-)

(and please measure temps with one vs. two radiators and let us know, since I still don't quite believe my own results)


By the way: Awesome build so far! The white really looks great! Can't wait to see more.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

hmmm well I guess no one read the part where I said I wouldn't be doing the Rad sandwich

once the 420 GTX was released my plans changed, I may very well make a 3 loop system with a 140mm rad on the top fan slot.... we will see

[Lagaaja]

Hmm, does the 420 really perform that well compared to 320 when using only 120mm fans (even the SanAces) and those adapters instead of 140mm fans. Seems kinda waste of space to me Otherwise the build looks good so far

there are 140mm on the other sides of the radiator its just a push pull and the 120mm san aces pull 100 cfm at full speed through the 140mm rad so it shouldn't make a difference what size they are as long as they can handle the volume required

I actually meant Serpentarius. Though he only asked about it, too...

About your build: I love radiators for 140-mm-fans, so I can totally appreciate your decision!

Clearly missed that part of the log Keep up the updates lol

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Once again thanks for the well wishes all ^^

Just to do a quick pic-less update: I finally got in contact with the guy at the facility for the waterjet cutting after an email mixup fiasco lol, anywho I'm bringing the panel over to him tomorrow to discuss the project and I'll probs get it doen by next week some time.

You sure multicolor is the way to go with a white color theme? Can't wait to see the big pictures though.

that's just the newly waterjet cut sidepanel sitting in front of my current rig
