PROJECT LOG GREEN MOLECULE (modded Fractal Design ACR Mini R2)

[Dlaw]

Not sponsored by Crucial. Just wanted to keep the likeness of the SSDs and add my own style to them



Yea I get what you mean about the standoffs. It's a good idea actually and I'm gonna look into it. Should have 4 MB standoffs around somewhere

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words

No problem, we appreciate a creative build!

it would be awesome if you put some rubber grommet(green color) around the SSD side case hole. It would be harder to see the inside and give it some flare on that side of the panel.

Thanks for that mate. I'm gonna have a go at bringing them closer to the window first. That should make them stand out more and I don't mind that you can see inside, the cables look good too and you can't see from all angles

Its not that it doesnt look good, its just that it looks "put in" instead "designed in" if you understand my meaning. With a build of your caliber, it does stand out in a negative way, but perhaps its just the camera bringing it into a more "obvious" nature.

Hey guys,

Here are the final photos as well as a look at the Green Molecule next to the Vault Boy!

Which one do you guys like better?

























































Benchmarks and temp testing will be coming pretty soon I hope. Been super busy with work lately and I just didn't have the time. The 3770K is overclocked same as before the rebuild, 4.7GHz @ 1.29v and as for the GPUs, I didn't have time to play with overclocks on them at all yet.

Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers,

Alex

The SSD's do look a lot better pushed out closer to the side cover Alex. Nice job.

Which is better? There are different aspects of each that I like, but Vault Boy'a always been one of my favorite builds. Just my opinion but I think it's a nicer looking case, I like the color choices (U of M fan here), it's a perfect homage to a great game and if I'm not mistaken it's the build that essentially put you on the map. I may be wrong here as I have only been watching these custom builds for a few years.

Either way, great job on some beautiful rigs!

Thanks a lot mate! And yea that's right, a lot of people have seen my Vault Boy build.

Also I haven't done anything else to the SSDs, no time. Like I said before, different angles and it looks different .

Cheers,

Alex

Hey guys,

I haven't posted on this build log for a while now, I know I was meant to post some benchmarks and temp results just didn't get a chance to do it while working on other builds and been moving house for a while now.

The Green Molecule build is up for voting as a featured build on the Linus Tech Tips forum, please check it out and post a vote if you can, it would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Alex

Hey guys,

I have a small update regarding this build!

I'm happy to say that it has been nominated as one of the 12 mods and 12 scratchbuilds for Bit-Tech's Mod of the Year for 2015. This is a huge honour and in my opinion the most prestigious nomination you can get as a modder.

Thanks a lot to those that might have nominated it and a huge thanks to Bit-Tech for considering my build!

Here are some final pics of the build before I took it apart a few months ago. I've been preparing it for a special announcement just at the start of the new year which I'm sure everyone will be excited for.

Check out the Mod of the Year here and place some votes, all you need is an email address - http://www.bit-tech.net/modding/2015/12/24/bit-tech-mod-of-the-year-2015/1
