Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
I like your sense of humor (and patience with my obvious frustration of these threads at my home site)!!!

Can't wait to see it done. :)

love aurora from mayhems but pastel seams to be more permanent solution

I probably will use the pastel 24/7, but the aurora just has that effect on me so I need to try it.

Hey guys! So I know its been about a month since I posted, but I've been trying to hold off until I had something REALLY worth while to show you. I now have quite a bit coming, so expect more frequent updates.

Let me give you a little background before I post the pictures. When I first got the idea for this process back late last summer, I talked it over with some friends. After deciding I wanted to do it, I knew it would take some very special tools and design work. I had seen Parvum's ability to do custom cases and honestly loved the look so I reached out to them to see what they'd think. After taking to Imersa (Justin) and explaining it, I submited some very RUFF drawings. Like... MS Paint kind of ruff. He took something so bare and they made it something amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how much time, money, and effort has gone into this case. After almost 6 months of contact, design, cutting, re-cutting, cutting some more, we finally have a finished product... Here is what I gave them....



I give to you, the main piece of the puzzle... A FULLY custom, 100% one-off masterpiece... eNVy










And now to the main attraction... The IN MIDWALL RESERVOIR.











Here are a few shots with the coolant. I'm trying to decide if I need to deepen the color a bit, to match it. With the res being frosted, I'm worried that its going to wash out.








I'm sorry it took so long to post, but I feel that it has been very much worth it. I again, want to thank Justin and Shaun for 1. Taking a mental picture and make it a dream come true. 2. Dealing with my pestering and badgering about updates. I cannot speak highly enough of these guys. They have done everything I've asked, and more.

So... was it worth the wait?​

Alrighty... Well its about that time again. I was in kind of a rush to get these pictures out today, so I didnt setup my full lighting and all that jazz.. but you can get the jest of how amazing these rads are!

I reached out to DazMode and talked to him about his Darkside Rads. These things are the bizniz. He was kind enough to cut me a deal on these and get them to me ASAP! Dude is a seriously awesome guy and you should give him your business. Having said that... lets get to what you want to see!

Alright, I've stalled this enough as it is. I'll get some more pictures of it with my setup this week, once my new monitor shows up! I didn't get EVERYTHING I wanted in here, and had to make a few compromises but this build is still everything I hoped it'd be!

I really want to thank you guys for sticking this out and supporting the build. This has been a LONG LONG LONG 10 months, from conception to now. I am thrilled with the outcome and honestly, without my sponsors none of this would have been possible. Thank you again to Justin and Shaun from Parvum, Jacob and EVGA, Joseph and everyone at Corsair, Mick From Mayhems for the coolant, Bitspower and Dazmode, as well as my friend Eric or xD3aDPooLx for the sleeve-job!

Now, on to what everyone here cares about... some Glamour shots. I'll get a video done ASAP as well, just need to get everything done in my office :-D

I GIVE TO YOU.... "eNVy"

Good, cause my wife likes me less :-D LOLLOL
You need a wife that's more supportive of your hobby then. My wife is more willing to let me spend money than I'm willing to let myself. :p
Maybe it's because I'm the one who pays the bills. :roll:
