I do white too!


Bracket for power and rpm signals and water in/out.
All Fractal Design brackets are - as their fans - white, so new brackets of course must be white too...

New desk at new place:


Notice how strategic it's positioned.
Looking left I see the main sail entrance to Esbjerg and large parts of the bay and looking right I have my beloved TV!

Oh! and note how the desk itself has been modified.
Added a "draft screen" along it's backside and to the left side I've inserted a removeable panel with heat/cool outlet!
The theory is that air from the cooling box will feel cool in hot times and warm during the winter... legs are getting old...

No. Never! Don't like lights in pc, but trying to keep a simpler theme.
Black, white, chrome and cupper... have played with the idea of painting the entire motherboard... but ehh...

Some choices were easy though, like this horrible look of the CrossFire bridges and the connector housing:


Black is a major improvement!




it's seems to me you guys are not fully understanding the severity of my problems?

The cooling box awaiting final assembly - fuming off in the sun...

Looks a real beaut anyways and I notice your case is very similar to mine same design for what I can see on the out/inside except mine can hold more drives. My case is called a Compucon I had to get a new desk so it would fit.

You have to start over, you have no neon liquid cooling system on that CPU, the neon green cooling fluid will change your color scheme.

We did a little white yesterday!



Error #1 out of the way!



During one of his many coffee breaks, he suddenly realised just how bad the RAM PCBs needs to be white...



But error #5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 also out of the way!

Really? RAM PCB needs to be white?

Have you considered seeing a doctor about this obsessive behaviour?
