I find it amusing that you have the CPU running on a stock heatsink and a custom WC setup on the GPU

Cpu does't need nearly as much cooling power as that GPU especially with such a low overclock (4.0Ghz) Im planning to put a CNPS8900 on it when i get a little more $$ but right now since im broke its just the stock cooler

That's amazingly clean for a case with no cable management.

Those are some crazy patterns reflected on your wall! I really like how you mixed the white with your red/blk color scheme, looks awesome 1ce! Your XB has come a long way.

I love the way the ROG logo shines on your wall. Also love your Ruby poster
Though I was thinking, can you really call it Dark Wind when the thing is so damn bright?
Nice rig man, actually quite jealous.

Really nice work with the modding, customization and finishes, that's really how ROG style should be, congrats

Seeing the work you were capable to do with the window logo and/or the side panels, would it be so hard to get a template with the letters into a red-paper sticker sheet? That way you wouldn't void the warranty at all.

Anyway, your "Dark Wind" rocks, keep up the good work

You could get a vinyl sticker to cover it with red letters....might cost $8 for me locally to get that small of a design printed.

Well, the Garden City is a smaller facsimile of Portland/Eugene/San Fran, so you'll probably like it. Too many people and not enough real mountains for me.

Thanks much guys, I put a lot of hard work into it and some chunk of change. I know its not as "trick" or "custom" like some of those really talented guys can do, but Im pretty happy with the results with what skills and tools I have.

Your build has had me seriously considering an XB. I miss having a window and the airflow would be really beneficial for my system. Ambients in my NZXT H2 aren't great during load. A build doesn't really need to be flashy or heavily modified to be appreciated here - Just clean and aesthetically pleasing, which easily describes your rig.

Ha, it looks far better than my rig, that's for sure. :rolling:
