The first part of the build will be for a Local lan event later this month. I wanted to take something different to this lan and I am giving my self a really short time frame to get some items done. Like a month... So this should be a nice roller coaster...


The name comes from me wanting to use the Black and Red theme also it just seemed to fit.



((((Hardware))))

ASUS Maximums VI Formula Motherboard
ASUS GTX 760 GPU
Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler
Silent Wing 2 fans

To get started out.



I am waiting on the case to show up from my order. Since I do have access to the H440 for testing and fitment of items, I made this template for the Grill design.







How would this design look cut into the panels on the case.

Another Update:


Some Product pics.




She is going to get some Rework done

I have something planned for the plate on this one.

I got the cables made ahead of time with extra length on them. I want them set to the right length without worrying about excess taking up space.

Lutro0s Teleios Sleeve - Thanks Mike and J... Love the stuff.

Good luck mate. My H440 Review sample will arrive soon enough for me to make a good use out of it.

Looking good!

Put a tone for power up and shut down
Shut down = Vaders voice "NOOOOOOO!!!!"
Power up = Vaders respirator sound



Hopefully there no exhaust vulnerabilities in this mod because that Rebel Alliance mod might be lurking behind a moon

All the way done, with 5 2 way splits on the PSU side. It has a 20+8 pin split


The CPU for mass destruction
