[Build Logs] Snef's Bloody Angel

[snef]

start another build, this one is for me, my personal Gaming Rig

Snef's Bloody Angel

you will see, most of the parts are pretty similar to Sand of God
you're right, i will disassemble "Sand of God"
i need more .........muscle......
i still think the Mercury S5 is one of best case on planet
but Horizontal board is not for me
i need a real "TOWER of POWER", at begening, Enthoo Primo white was my first choice
but i saw new case on caselabs store, The SMA8
i sent an email to caselabs to know the shipping rate
and i finally choose Caselabs SMA8

i will have my S5 +pedestal at very low price really soon


generally i try to search for a unique or special color combination but not this time
keep it simple


Hope you will enjoy it

Asus Maximus VI Formula
4770k
2 x GTX 780

I have enough time, need to stay at home and a lot of hardware on shelf
and received a offer from Caselabs I cant refuse

Hmmm ! Sounds like a bit of sponsorship to me. You deserve it if that's the case, look forward to the next awesome build sir.

Always wondered about how to go about getting sponsorship. Is it like a they come to you sort of deal? Oh course I fully understand you need to be on a whole other level like snef here to be worthy but still would like to know...

[Father Fuzzy]

ooo piece of candy

Another Snef build

I'm all in on this one

[snef]

Thanks

i don't understand how sponsorship works
In fact, I don't like sponsorship for 2 things

first: big sponsorship, generally the whole build
your build can be ship at some event around the world

second: parts sponsorship
need to wait for parts and I hate waiting, when i build a computer, i like having control on when and what i want

if the sponsorship is 100$ or 200$, and need to wait, generally, i will buy it, like that, my build is up and running, no on desk and collecting dust

i received some email for sponsorship
like for a couple of fan, i refuse it because need 16 fans and give me only 3
or cable extention, i don't use cable extention
and other little thing like led strip

the real one i had is EK gpu waterblock and its because Daz work for me on this one, but EK still don't ship block, i bought 2 for sand of god and if i receive sponsored blocks, i will use in bloody angel

caselabs don't give me a sponsorship, just a real good deal and have some money in store credit,
with these, the price is just amazing

[Neo182]

Either way you deserve sponsorships and discounts Snef your builds are amazing!

[DazMode]

Nice!

[snef]

@Dazmode

do you know the fin count on Darkside 480 rad? (parts number DS-0214, the one in stock)

the other one (px480) is 9, do you will have this one on order?

i want to use low speed fan, silence is very important

[bungwirez]

lol... sponsorship is the dangled carrot in front of the donkey.
you're right Snef, better off never minding and moving forward at your own pace.

if you really want more deets Alex. I double dare you to ask the fellas at ModZoo...
on second thought, don't bother... just take my word... you don't want sponsor - is all hassle.

Et c'est reparti,snef

Thanks for reminding me to update all of this.... Fin count is 8.

I so sick of those high density rads, they cool fine at first, but quickly plugged with garbage (dust) and start performing awfully in matter of weeks.

So true! It is more of disadvantage than benefit.
