My name is Lucas Gardebrand, Im 16 years old and living in Sweden I've been into modding for a couple of years and this is my 3rd project, I want to share this one with you! Why "BeOrange"? - Something more unique! I always start off my projects by telling some of the plot behind the project and also about the name! I thought that many systems out there are made with boring color combinations and are often just black or red. I thought it would be nice if builds could be more colorful. Since Orange is my favorite color for coolant, fans and components, I named the project “BeOrange” Let’s move over to the concept. This build were designed to be extremely clean, but also to have stunning hardware and to be an eye-catcher which can’t be unseen. My first project were mid tower, my second was a HTPC, how's about something big? I also wanna try to go more "extreme" I'm saying i7 and tri-sli! The build will go in two colors, Black and Orange. Render This is my idea of how it should look like! Hardware Bought, not bought yet, not decided yet Case: Caselabs SMH10, double window edition!

Winter 2014 - Beeing able to show this build at Dreamhack Winter 2014! - Ending the project Let's do this! Update 11/12-13 Package received, wonder whats inside...
UPDATE 13/12-13 Assembling the case! Putting it all together, must have been at least 100 countersunk screws! It is pretty heavy, even if it is aluminum! Not the optimal place to build at but I recorded the stuff while building so I needed the white table there ^^ This shows you one of the corners, look how many, 7 of them in only one spot How it looks when it is all done, a couple of hours later I ordered this one with double windows, you will know why later!

UPDATE 14/1-14 I test mounted everything I got at home to check that everything fits, as you may see at the Top radiator, the motherboard ends about 1mm from the fans. Still it wasn't a coincidence, I think I measured that about 12 times hahaha.gif This won't be Noiseblockers, more about that later I had a small when I realized that the radiator is thicker then as a PSU! From the rear side. As you can see, I got space for another radiator on this side, Well, I don't think I'll use the space, better to be able to reach pump and PSU e.t.c That was everything for today! But wait, I think I got a cliffhanger for the next update! Over and out!
NoiseBlocker fans, Parge. They don't shift much air but are incredibly quiet. This looks like it'll be a beastly build! I'll be watching.
Update! Update, New hardware, The mother of motherboards! Thanks for checking out my new update Post your thoughs! My beauty! The Gigabyte Z87OC Force! This is packaging for premium cards done the right way! This Motherboard got much better pins, I don't know, but it might give me one extra FPS or something :rofl: I must say it is pretty tight in the top! Reversed Mobo, you need to stand out Altough 100% calculated! Everything for this time! Finally got my buy of this MOBO, and I'm so happy ^_^
Looking good. Are you going to delid your CPU at all or just get a new one from Intel in a few weeks?
I'd just like to mention that those renders a beautiful! (Although they'd be finished with the cables... ) Not to mention that black and orange is one of my favourite colour combos (being both bold but also not too gaudy). Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one, been watching on LTT too.
