-| The Black Knight |- First Build Log!

[Electric Wizard]

So I was watching Monty Python and ordering parts one intoxicated night when I realized I need to build a computer based of one of my favorite movies: Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was a tough decision between the black knight and the holy hand grenade but the black knight won out. What follows is my journey on my second water cooled rig, my first build log and how to live up to a stereotype of being a computer nerd that loves Monty Python! Enjoy!

The basis of this computer build are in my sig, as I have already built the computer and documented photos and a log while offline you are going to get the whole shebang at once.

Pictures incoming as they upload!

*cough* what's wrong with the hand grenade, says I.

The First Big task of my cause was to get the missus off farmville, I hate farmville.




Once that was taken care of I could begin my task!



Mountain Mods has awesome but extremely difficult to cut through packaging heh heh.



Here we have a freshly sleeved power supply and assorted cables, on a side note this is also my first time doing a full system sleeving, I had a blast with it!




Chassis skeleton and assorted parts.



Sleeved my power and LED cables as blue and white just didn't match anything!



Rad Fans Sleeved!



Hard drives installed!



Motherboard tray installed! With motherboard and parts.



Now I dont know about most of you but I am always getting my clumsy fingers clipped by my fans, so this was an extra $2.83 in fan grills well spent



Since I am not a photographer by any means a lot of the pictures of me setting up the water set didnt come out light enough so enjoy this quick intermission!

That was silly, now back to the program.

Here we have the Loop and graphics cards installed

Now here the Black Knight sits in full fully functional glory!








And there you have it, my first build log, I hope you enjoyed it and my build

It's a good time for Mountain Mods builds with black themes. Excellent work!

Hahaha MORE PICS OF THE MISSES!!!
Nice clean build.

My fiance sells a product that will numb any areas for tattoos. :-) That is if your ol lady has any left. Nice artwork.

Nice clean build, you've got me thinking mountain mods now.

Really nice case, must say am disappointed you went to all the trouble of the watercooling the cpu and leaving the GPUs on air with the hideous whiney GPU fans that get used on Graphics cards now, Get some GPU blocks on them pronto

[snoro]

I dont see any chopped off leg or arm ??? You better fix that or i will BLEED ON YOU !!!!

Nice build, as other said, you should put the gpu under water, you get a 240rad and put it behind the hard drive fan rack and it could be enough.
