Personally I hate blue LEDs on cases… they are so bright when the system is on in the dark (then again my desk at home is in my bedroom too)

Haha! I hear you, benbeige2. My new “Bat-puter” rig has color-changing LEDs that I only use at LAN parties and events. Too bright for me otherwise

Hey! Are those Crucial SSD’s at the bottom?

You know it, Sid!!! Nothing but the best for this rig (I’m not biased in any way, shape or form lol)

Looks pretty nice. I do agree with the lighting… I prefer red. When was that built? Only a 980Ti?

I think that is a beautiful piece of art right there and I for one love blue LED’s. Nice work!

Gotta love those builds.

Nice build. I really like working with that case line. I personally have a MasterCase Pro 5 doesn’t have the fancy fan controller and the front panel is a little different than yours.

That thing looks nice, wonder why they didn’t go with a water block on the 980ti, and why isn’t there a 10xx GPU?

How much did that beast set ya back?

joebob · 2016-12-07T17:51:56.000Z

http://www.digitalstorm.com/ makes pre-built gaming PCs like this. They look amazing, but the price… ugh. i just know that if I did a water cooling job with LEDs and transparent tubes, it would just look like a mess lol. I’m bad at arranging wiring inside a computer. My HAF 942 makes it easier but it’s still pretty ugly.

So how much that cost
