The copper and white just seem to go good together.
Copper and white side view with tinted glas on.
This was my First time custom build. I decided after the last contest to make this PC look a little more personal.
This is the out come of that personalization.
Tried to keep as clean as possible, and planning on upgrading GPU soon.
The red on the upper fan is a reflection of the MB ram lights.
Added a third fan in the front and removed all the cross metal to open up the area.
Beginning of teardown
As you can see in above picture, I completely painted everything.
Old color, black
New color, white.
Just not happy with this color, so will change everything to what I'm looking for.
Decided to change the color of the CPU cooler, looks much better.
Had to paint the board to match the new color.
Painted the heatsinks and slots to match the new color build
prepping cables for color change
The copper and white here tuned out pretty nice.
Trying different colors
The Arctic look
Just thought this one looked nice
Its a bit of a mess, but its my mess.
My messy but functional desk, with somewhat new keyboard and mouse.
The Evolusion
This is my first build, Its still under construction, I'm disabled so parts are as I can afford them. If you like my build so far, hit the vote, approve and follow for updates as I add more to this build. this build is going to be a eclectic conglomeration of parts and peace's,
Because none of the company's make the color I'm looking for in wiring, plumbing or coolant, I will have to modify my parts and mix my own color.
Have started the color change of my case, upgrading my CPU cooler and getting a better GPU for now. will post new pics soon.
As you can see in the pictures, I have decided to change the color of everything to copper, White and black. Having an all stock color build just wasn't doing it for me. I beleave in building way outside the box, witch means, i want my build to be personal to me, not just a buy the parts and assemble, and done.
I have completed the remodel of my first build. The out come is up to all of you to decide if it looks good. I'm very happy with what I accomplished. Was worried that all the paint would increase the temperature, but it has little if no effect at all. I know my photo's aren't very good,, i'm working on getting better pic's
GPU at idle is 36°c
CPU at idle is 31°c
Average fps is 92-110 on last test, and 74°c max so am doing well so far.
update. still waiting on a couple new parts, and next payday. so will update pics as soon as i finish add-ons.
New update, yay my new CF120 fans and RBG GPU support from DeepCool arrived today, now i can start the mods to them and decide if I'm going to put them on this build or my next build.
Not so much an update, Finally found my camera and tripod. so i can start taking better picture's, my phone was all i had before.
I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments and votes for this build. i am starting a new build and will post it as soon as i Finnish the remod of the case. so stay tuned something new is on the way.
Not an update, just a question.
Should i leave this build air cooled or go with a custom loop. All comments welcome.
