Make sure you stress test that GPU before painting it - those XFX Double D cards (lol at the name) have some issues keeping cool.

I decided not to paint the red bar that came with the card. Looked to nice.

I'm not done with this piece yet. Still needs a bit of filing.
I'll still keep and eye on the temps when I get it up and running. Thanks for the info.

That's pretty sweet. I saw the finished product of this but couldn't find the log. Thanks. Don't think I'll bring something like that. Started with mods about a year ago, this is probably the biggest one I've done.

So looked like it was going to rain all day today. Finally did during the evening. Got a little bit done, didn’t want to get into much with the chance of rain.

Got the removable hard drive cage done.

Also got the top panel done.

That’s it for today. Will be a slow week for updates as I will be out of town for two (maybe three) days.
Thank you all for viewing

Thank you

Power went out in my neighborhood today and it took them a long while to fix it.
Weather has been crazy here in Texas.

One minutes the sun is blasting and it's 39c out, the next it's pouring rain out.

Since power was out, decided to start putting the case back together. Just one picture of the build today

The right side panel isn't done yet. Probably won't be done until the end of the week if this rain keeps up.
Will update as soon as I can

That's looking awesome man. Can't wait to see it finished, it's gonna be good

subbed!

how easy it to use paracord for sleeving and get the ends to stay tidy?

I'm a total noob at sleeving, just tried it for the first time last week, did my whole PSU with paracord and I think it turned out pretty good, it was way easier than I thought.

Hope I'm not derailing too much, I'll put the pics in a spoiler:

Thank you

I found paracord pretty easy to work it also. Very nice job on those cables. :toast:

d1nky · Jul 16, 2013

next mod im using paracord definitely.

and lamokona ya may actually make the sabertooth look gorgeous with this mod!

Irony · Jul 16, 2013

Thanks, I'm pretty proud of em lol.

Ya I was thinking that too, you could be the first person to make a sabertooth beautiful!

LaMokona · Jul 19, 2013

Thank you both

Sorry I haven’t updated in a bit. Was out of town last couple of days. From what I was told it was raining the whole time I was gone so not much time lost. Got home late last night and had a couple of boxes waiting for me

ASUS Sabertooth 990FX/GEN3 R2.0

Samsung 840 120GB SSD

Got a couple of Noctua NF-F12 fans.

Corsair Vengeance 8GB

And a Seasonic M12 620W Modular power supply

More to come soon. No raid today

Irony · Jul 20, 2013

Haha, so you're also gonna go ahead and be the first to make Noctua fans look good? lol

d1nky · Jul 20, 2013

i like this guy, hes taking some of the most ugliest parts and HOPEFULLY will perform a miracle and kiss the frog and turn it into a princess.

i will call him a legend if hes does this!

LaMokona · Jul 21, 2013

Thank you both, hope not to dissapoint

The build will probably be done Tuesday. Forgot to order the NZXT Hue with the rest of the parts -_-
Was going to save these for tomorrow night but tonight will do

More pics will come Tuesday (hopefully) once the Hue is in place.
Thank you all

Roph · Jul 21, 2013

Even in that machine, those noctua fans still look out of place :shadedshu

Otherwise, fantastic

LaMokona · Jul 21, 2013

Thank you

Yeah, the Noctuas don't fit perfectly in here but they sure do look a lot better in here then they would in my main, red and black rig XD

Irony · Jul 22, 2013

That's a beauty. Almost looked like you just took the pictures in sepia lol

t_ski · Jul 22, 2013

I think if you took the rubber dampers off the corners of the Noctuas it might look a little better.

crazyeyesreaper · Jul 22, 2013

yea agreed with T ski take those rubber pieces off and it will blend it ALOT better.

d1nky · Jul 22, 2013

agreed^^

and the black on that rad is too shiny for everything else. Mod ett!

RCoon · Jul 22, 2013

Thank god. The Sabertooth is probably my favourite board of all time, and FINALLY somebody made it actually look good inside something. The colour scheme of that board is such an irritation to me, but the components are great. MAKE IT IN BLACK GODDAMNIT.

ne6togadno · Jul 22, 2013

3 photos only?
come on dont be shy

LaMokona · Jul 22, 2013

Thank you everyone

I'll try try the Noctuas without the rubber corners. I'll also see what I can do about the shiny rad.

Only three pictures for now. They were more teasers than anything

I'll have more up once the NZXT Hue arrives, which should be tomorrow. Maybe one more pic tonight?

sure. i alway enjoy to see good quality work.

LaMokona · Jul 24, 2013

Finished the build today. Thank you everyone for the comments and advice throughout the build. Won’t keep y’all waiting any longer

Yes, I used red and black rather than all black. Asked a few friends and majority vote went to red and black.

Thank you all again for following and commenting
