Hello and welcome to my project log for ''Toxic Green'' TOXIC Green was something i've longed to do, a real black,green and silver build with some real work behind it. Dripping Toxic waste, burnt holes, sparking wires. (i want to show you but until mind projection works i'm afraid you'll just have to use your imagination) I'm probebly more excited about this than you are. Where do i plan to go with this? With custom made PSU Shroud, Front inter shroud and custom loop i plan to make sure this build stands out. Hopefully it'll be traveling to Taiwan this year to computex 2016 to be showcased if Avexir like what they see. Fingers crossed they like it. Here's a quick look at what i want this build to look like (Before all the little details are added) i wish i was good with rendering, but you'll have to imagine toxic waste dripping from them CPU block, off the end of the GPU, Hold burnt out of the PSU Shroud. Bare wires showing with little led's on them flashing to give a sparking effect.

Thank you to Gigabyte Avexir and be quiet! Let's begin with Pictures! All the parts together Parts have been arriving every other day and here's our first one. Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z170 Description There's no other green motherboard on the market for intel's 6th gen CPU's available in most parts of the world. Gigabyte offers this sleek and monstrous G1 Sniper at a really really good price! Boasting: USB 3.1 up to 10GB/s USB 3.0 up to 5GB/s 2 way SLI / 3-way CrossFire Fast onboard storage with 32GB/s M.2 USB Type-C connector Duel channel DDR4 Durable gold plated CPU Socket Ambient green trace path lighting This motherboard not only looks great, but performs without fault! Not to mention the green on-board lights flash in time to the music wink emoticon Check out more details over at overclockersUK https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...cket-1151-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-537-gi.html Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX 970 Description It comes as no surprise that GIGABYTE would want me to utilize their new Xtreme gaming line. I mean, who wouldn't want one of these ? Sporting sleek design, looks and Devastating power. First of all you have those unbelievable full RGB fans and RGB WINDFORCE logo. Any color your heart desires this baby will deliver. Make it pulse, breath or double flash. You can also set it to cycle the colors any way you want. Next up is the fact that these GPU's are hand picked, factory overclocked monsters delivering much higher performance than a reference 970. In fact the one i have right now has a higher base close than a GTX 980 at 1190mhz. with a boost clock of a massive 1342mhz. The 980 base clock is 1126 and boost close of 1226. (reference model) INSIDE AND OUT Protection. Yup you get aerospace grade coating reinforced with a metal backplate. Spill something on your GPU ? Damaged ? Not here. The spillage simply rolls off no harm done! It's also worth noting that these xtreme gaming cards are made using Titan-X components with 12 power phases backed by highest-grade chokes and capacitors for extreme durability.

Silent Base 800 Ignore the Dark power pro 11. That's not supposed to be there On to the modding First thing i done was re-spray the black around the air vents on the front of the case to a nice green. re-sprayed the PCIE Slot covers green. i then cut the front new grill i'll be making using mirrored acrylic And fitted them to the front (partially) i then thought... nah. Lets cut out the drive bays using a dremel and fit 3 front fans. I've also started work on the Toxic stuff. Basically silicon that will be dipped in green dye for 24 hours and then backlit. As you can see the PSU Shroud etc is in the picture, this is made from cardboard just now, i test the looks and try to get perfect measurements using cardboard. It's cheap and if you screw up, grab another bit. Planning is everything in a project, however it never goes exactly how you want it. There will always be something you want / need to change. Some updates cut where the GPU needs to go, fitted it. I'll find a way to securely mount this properly a little later new smaller fittings for the CPU block arrived, so now it looks far cleaner all looks so much cleaner now. Modified some RAM for the project just now while we wait for the actual KIT we'll be using. Today after work, i went out to the shed and fired up the lazer cutter. Done 4 of these fan covers for the project They are etched so the light can travel better through the acrylic (making them glow) New coolant arrived for the build. Day off work today, so i got the shrouds finished. (Not fitted yet, will get that done once i know the loop is all working) Now you'll question.. ''Why is there a hole in the front inner shroud ?'' Well... hopefully this answers your question This res will be backlit with a UV light, to make that green coolant pop! Thanks! Been so many last second changes have paid off, including the res position, CPU block change, fan covers. I'm very very pleased with the work so far, still lots of work to do, but i'm gonna say i'm close to the half way point. Thanks!

Working on the cables today Here's how neat and tidy they will be, 24 finely cut holes in the same panel as the res. Final Photo's here
Yeah it was already finished unfortunately. Figured might as well make one large project log rather than break it up and pretend i'm still making it
