Scratch Build – Complete Cold Winter V1/V.2 by C4B12 | 11-12-20 (completed)

I really like this build. I can't help but to think that it would have looked even better if not painted white but kept aluminum. Had a different feel then. More raw, but maybe - no probably it's a matter of personal taste. Never quite seen a design like this, it's really original. REP and voted.

 

Thanks Hannes. I was thinking about not painting it first, but as you say, think its a personal taste.

 

I like the look a lot. The foam would look better if it was seated on the bottom of the case better. It would hide the mountings too.

 

Yeah on the pictures it looks bad, but I fixed it. Anyways on V.2 I dont use the foam.

 

Hello again!

Ive been kinda busy with my job and other projects, but now Ill show some more pictures. This is how the computer looks right now, Im using it as my main computer for checking internet, music, movies and some games like SC2, HoN and light games like that. It works really good for that.

The plans for the future is some real watercooling, maybe a seperate graphics card too. But I definitely think theres gonna be a V.3.

But Ill start with the pictures. I havent had the time or resources to get some good pictures as I did on the last pictures of V.1. But you can still see how the result looks. Many nightshots here.









The acrylic looks so weird here but its the flash that made it so. Im not good at taking photos but Im going to get some help from a friend to get some better ones later.











And the last picture of the front. Really love the look of the Enermax Cluster fans.



Well this is thanks for me. The V.3 will not be done in a long time I think. But Ill definitely post it here. And when I get some better photos you will see them here too.

Thanks.

Yeah baby!!!! with out the foam that looks 100 times better..Excellent build dude love it. The white lighting is perfect for this build. top modding

 

Indeed looks great. removing the foam was a good idea, a little sticker on that fan would go a long way I think.

 

Thanks!
What do you mean RedManc, about the sticker?

 

love it mate truely a smart looking build

 

gotta say, that looks awesome

 

Looks awesome! Really clean as many others have said. Stepped up a notch in my book!

 

Thank you everyone. Im sorry about the photo quality but Ill try to get some better pictures as fast as possible!

 

this looks very nice now , didnt like the look of it before thow....but now i damn like this, the new changes lifted up the system to a new level !
One more clusterfan on the back and the lightning is perfect !
GJ & GL!

 

Like the look of this one man. colour and everything is pretty tight!

 

Thanks! Dont think Enermax Cluster comes in 92mm and I cant fit a 120mm in the back.

Thank you!

 

Hello again!

I made some smaller changes to Cold Winter and also wanted to share something else with you.

First of, the NB on the motherboard in Cold Winter and the picopsu got really hot, shouldnt overclock it so much. But anyways, what I did to fix this was to put some small heatsinks to the picopsu and a 50mm fan to the NB. It actually helped, now I run the Llano platform at the original clock so it doesnt get so hot anymore. Heres some pictures:





For somedays now Ive been working on a little HTPC/NAS build, with kinda same colour theme as Cold Winter. Just wanted to share some pictures of it.









And last I want to wish you some Happy holidays!
Over and out.

That is one really rice idea. I love it's simplicity.

 

lol that's awesome. Great Idea making a matching NAS box. i might have to copy you on that one.

 

Thank you! The more simple the better!

Thank you. Yeah do that. Its gonna fit perfect in my apartment. Cold Winter for a little bit SC2 gaming and this NAS/HTPC for storage, movies and music.
