Hi guys, thought it was about time i shared my personal custom rig which i've just completed the first phase of modding. She just got back from her 'pc spa' so decided to snap some quick pics. All mods were done myself, except for the ROG grills which i ordered from nicholasteoh ( thansk nic!). quite happy with what i've achieved so far, and the casing has still got plenty of room for expansion and my further plans, biggrin.gif


specs:

i7-3770k@ 4.6Ghz
Corsair H100
16gb G.Skill Sniper 1866Mhz DDR3
G.Skill Turbulence 2
Asus Maximus Gene V Z77
1 x Intel 330 120gb SSD
1 x 500gb WD Scorpio Blue
2 x 1.5TB WD AV-GP
1 x 2TB WD AV-GP
2 x Alienware Nvidia GTX555 in Sli,
Corsair AX650
Mini-pcie wifi+ bt card
NZXT Sentry Mix Fan controller
Cap ayam 3.5 bay fan controller
Genius backlit keyboard
Razer Nostromo
Razer Naga Epic



The casing is a custom Aerocool Strike-x Air, modified with 2 x Corsair Airflow, 4 x Phobya Nano G-12 Red Led, 4 x CM Red Led, Custom SSD Mount, Custom 2.5 HDD Mount, Custom ROG exhaust armor + fan controller unit, custom ROG usb port , Custom Led lighting, Dark Red sleeved cables, Custom Mouse Cage, Cellphone Mount, Custom ROG USB Hub, USB drives, ROG fan grills

hehe, thnx for the comments guys, i call it a baby, cos its using the smallest mobo in the rog line, the gene, but i just luv it, hehe, used a mg3 before, and loving my mg5.

sleeping in the same room with her isn't scary, haha, but am hoping to change out the 4 cm fans in the lid. becos all the other fans are pretty quiet, these sound loud as heck , haha

sebenarnya, dia kutip habuk mcm casing biasa je. 'air pressure' dari system kipasnyta mengelakkam habuk dari masuk. biasa aku kena lap grill utk 4 kipas atats tu je. aku hantar pc spa tu sebab aku but adjustment last minute, dgn dremel, sekejap je dlam tu dah kena habuk, tongue.gif kalu pakai dgn biasa dgn atas tu tertutp, okey je

not really dude. as long as the lid is closed most of the time, the air pressure seems to keep the dust out, the problem is that its so nice to look at the mobo laid out like that, so i keep wanting to leave it open, tongue.gif

i think inwin was the one that pioneered the concept of using air pressure to keep dust out of an all mesh casing.

haha yeah i concur. but i think i cant buy them gtx555 frm u as nvidia is just too much hassle. sli matx boards are rare, and expensive. whereas a good cf z77 one can be had for liek rm315 new.

think i just gon cf my 7870, as i will be getting a good psu in the very near future.

no worries, not in a hurry to sell my cards anyway, cos the performance quite keng ciao already, can handle all modern games without breaking a sweat, however, am seriously thinking now of upgrading the coolers. also the cm fans which were not noisy to me before have to be changed cos they are louder than everything else in the rig ( those phobya 's are da bomb diggidy, haha).

i will say tho, using this style of casing allows me to get extremely good performance out of my h100 cos the rad is being blasted with cold air. the mobo heatsinks were getting a lil warm, so added some alu tops to em, as well as exhaust fans just above the mobo below the rad, and solved that issue.

what wattage psu u looking for btw?

hmmmm.... sorry, but no matter how many time I see this thread I couldn't find any worklog. only pictures of finished product which is unique and nice. It would be better if the worklog are really here.
