Project Black Toxicity

br4dz · Sep 28, 2012, 07:39 PM

This is a build for a friend of mine that was in dire need of an upgrade. The entire build was centered around the theme of matte black with accents of white, and the obvious green glow from the cathodes . Turned out to be one of the best looking, and most fun, builds I've done. Enjoy the pics!

Index

Parts:

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.2 GHz
Motherboard: MSI Z77 Mpower
RAM: Corsair Vengence LP 2x8GB (16GB) DDR3-1600
GPU: MSI GTX 660 Ti PE/OC
Case: Silverstone Temjin TJ04-BW
PSU: Seasonic MII12 620W
CPU Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
SSD: Samsung 830 128GB
HDD's: 2x Western Digital Black 1TB WD1002FAEX
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DX
Fans: 5x Swiftech Helix 120mm's
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Mods:

Sleeving
- Front panel LED/power/reset cables
- HD Audio front panel cable
- 24-pin/2x 6-pin/8-pin extensions (saves overall sleeving and warranty vs full PSU sleeving)
- 3x cathode wires
- 2x switches for cathode inverters
- Floppy power extension (for Xonar DX)
- 5x Fan wires
- Multiple different molex to 3-pin adapters
- 1x 3-pin y-splitter
Cable management is a given.
Mildly overclock i7 2600K from 3.4 GHz to 4.2 GHz.
Replace fan screws with #8-32 screws & nuts, using snap caps on visible ones (hate the self-tapping screws that chew into the fans).
Fix Silverstone's broken window holding system. They use extremely tiny washers to hold the window in place (picture here), had to buy #6 x 9/16" fender washers so the window wouldn't pop out.

Good choice on the 2600K. Bet you got a good deal on that.

Nice pictures of cable sleeving and the motherboard.

Thanks.
