Looks good.
I'm not a big fan of the color green but you made it work. Have you thought about changing the LEDs on the CUP cooler and that other fan to green?
by Chewy (October 17th - 7:31 PM) - Reply
Nice work with that case, I love how its green and not blue! I alomst bought this case I would of had to go with black but I got a diff case instead.

creative Idea, looks very nice.. could you put up a full view of the case like front, side and a bit of top like angle?

You should have gotton the second revision, right opening door, front connectivity, larger window, etc. Also it appears you have the ram in single channel...

It looks like the RAM is in single channel mode to me aswell? Usually, for dual channel you need to use both slots that are the same colour (well, with 2 sticks of RAM that is)

ATM, you are using 1 green and 1 orange slot, which would tell me its not dual channel :(

Dudu are you off your head? Do you know anything about computers?

IT'S IN DUAL-CHANNEL slot 1&3 are used
by TUngsten (November 27th - 2:41 PM) - Reply
Yeah, MSI is confusing in that regard. 1 & 3 = dual channel even though almost all other mobo manufacturers color code as well.

Hmm, great rig man. I have to say I'm a fan of that case. Nice colors, pretty good hardware. We need more information (there are enough pictures), what OCing did you do? What are your ram timings? What are your HD speeds? 3d mark, SuperPi?...

Very nice!! I love the simplistic beauty of the build. The transformer logo glowing on the bottom is a very nice touch. I also like that you took the time to hunt down all green lighting parts.

It's 10/10 from me. Excellent job with getting photos with sufficient lighting to see everything while simultaneously catching the glow from the LED lighting. That's not easy to do.

In my opinion it really depends on your case.. consider the airflow if you have hole at the top of your case then its ok..^_^

yes just pull out the led from its socket..the led is clear type so you can see its orientation..use the clear ultra bright green led 5mm..the 3mm is for the fan..^_^

Very unique build. However... the rear green LED fans wreck it; it would look better if they were not opaque... but transparent instead. The only thing that stopped you from getting a 10 was the not-so-perfect front IO wiring.
