Meine Build-Reise

[Pascal Doppmann]

Hallo Zusammen

Bin etwas müde, deshalb gibts copy paste aus dem Forum der VA. (das wichtige sind ja so oder so die Bilder ). Habe mir eine neue Maschine gebastelt und das Case noch ein wenig gemoddet. Ich hoffe euch gefällts! (mir auf jeden Fall )

Liebe Grüsse

Pascal

Ok so I'm currently installing all my addons into FSX Steam Edition and figure I should show off my new rig.

First off I used alot of the Input I got here and in other Forums and my final build looked like this:
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER
Processor: Intel Core i7 4790K
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Black 2x8GB
SSD1: Samsung 850 Pro (256GB, 2.5") - Windows
SSD 2: Samsung 850 Pro (512GB, 2.5") - Sim
HD 3: WD Blue (1000GB, 3.5", Desktop) - Rest
HD 4: WD Green (2000GB, 3.5", Desktop) - Rest
Case Fans: 1x Noctua Nf-a14 Flx (140mm)
PSU: Seasonic X-750 (750W)
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (GM204, 4GB)



It all started a while back when I ordered my Case, The Fractal Design R5. I chose it due to its excellent reviews of its "quiteness"

After a few days of Tech geek admiring I went at it with a screwdriver

Then some good ol' wet sanding action

After a light dusting with some leftover Primer I had laying around the first coat of white got a nice little "Stalingrad" German Panzer look to it

Masked up for some dry sanding!

Third coat of white seemed to finally have done the trick (this was about the point where I cursed myself for not being patient enough to wait for the Case in white....)

Now we're about to find out what the hell I'm even trying to achieve with all of this "nifty" handywork. Finally got the correct color spray can, had them custom filled at a paintshop in town

Now for taping off the areas I want to stay my crystal clear white

I think after seeing the tape the next step is obvious: BRING DA ORANGE

Next Step: Tiramisu. Why? Because!

After another coat of Orange, some more time spent eating Tiramisu and letting stuff dry, and then careful removal of tape I ended up with the following which I then treated to 2 coats of lacquer.

Then after a nice little lego session I ended up with my final assembly (of the case that is)

For the front Inlay I layed down a nice matt black to start off with and then brushed on metallic for that aged/used old metal look


Then a quick shot of the actual PC assembly, take home message: Cable management is a pain - but worth it in the end!



Then finally I received my lettering I had ordered. They were applied swiftly



And now I have this beauty sitting on my desk




My first ever PC Build. Was a fun ride! Apart from an issue with my Motherboard and my Saitek X52 Pro it's been all good so far. My venture into FSX Steam Edition has gone well so far, but thats a story for a different thread.
Hope you guys enjoyed and once again thanks so much for your input on my hardware selection!
Hope to be in the skies flying with you by next week.


Cheers

Gratuliere. Eine leistungsstarke und stimmige Hardwarekombination. Die Lackierung ist genial. Bin begeistert.

[Mauro Gerber]

nice done!

[Jonas Kuster]

Absoluter Hammer! Das ist DIE Farbgebung für Flusi-Fans!

[Mark Nelson]

Brilliant work and a beautifully crafted narration, if I may say.

Go kick some controller-ass with the new genie in disguise.

Sehr schön, Pascal - das Teil wird in Hergiswil auffallen!

WAS IST DENN DAS
Ein Junggesellenhaushalt??

[Andre Wetli]

Der Inhalt ist top und das äussere der absolute Hammer - Respekt Respekt -

In Hergiswil müsst ihr den aber gut am Boden festbetonieren Hihi sonst bekommt er Beine

Gruss André

Sehr schön, Pascal - das Teil wird in Hergiswil auffallen!

Beim exzellenten Tiramisu haben ihr dann aber die Worte gefehlt oder wie?

Danke für das positive Feedback!

[Roger Herrmann]

Sieht hammermässig aus! Geniale Arbeit!

[Christopher Kuhs]

Tolle Arbeit! Bin begeistert. (Habe fast das gleiche Gehäuse!)
