Project log: Cold Winter by C4B

Not to me. The GPUs in those things are still weak and if you can crank up the CPU clocks real good you'd benefit more from a dedicated GPU anyways. Especially if you get something upper end to take advantage of Mantle.
 
Hello everyone!

So I finally finished Cold Winter, the third version. I went back and checked when I started the first project log for this case, 2011-01-04, a while ago. However, this mod has meant a lot to me, this was the second serious project I made and the first one I was really satisfied with. Since then I made a second version and then started planning a third version that I promised myself was going to be the last, and here it is!

The sad part is the scratches on the acrylic, this was made when I built this case at my school, someone there thought it was funny to start etching stuff on it, the same happened at Dreamhack. So sad, I tried as good as possible to polish it but not with a really good result. The good part is that isnt really easy to see if you dont put a light right on the scratches.

I want to say thank you for all the nice comments and feedback of Cold Winter and I also want to give a big shoutout to the sponsors for helping me with the hardware!

EKWB! Thank you for helping me.

Looks great man, good job!

I almost wonder what the PSU/pump shroud would have looked like in white, though...
