Wow, can't believe I haven't commented on this mod. Amazing work, love the colors. But I am a little partial to green, lol. Plastidipping the SLI bridge was a small detail, but it really made a big difference in my eye. Keep up the great work.
 
Did you by chance also post this on The Mod Zoo?




Thanks a lot mate, appreciate the kind words. Yea its usually the small details that count :)
 
I do have a build log on The Mod Zoo as well and they have also featured it on both The Mod Zoo and MNPCTECH facebook page :D

Hey guys!
 
SSDs are here, ready for painting and custom decals!
 
I ended up getting two Crucial MX100 drives, got a pretty good deal on them. Unfortunately I couldn't afford two 512GB drives so I can then run them in Raid 0. So the 256GB will do for windows and other bits and the 512GB will be used solely for gaming :D
 

 

 

 

 
Warranty VOIDED :dremel:
 

 

 

 

 

 
Will be painting and getting custom decals done for them over the next few days! Get them in the build and a fresh new copy of Windows and the Green Molecule will be complete.
 
Thanks for checking it out.
 
Cheers,
 
Alex

Ok, that's what I thought. And I thought Bill had shared it on Facebook. Fantastic work on your part. Thank you for sharing it.

Hey guys,

Painted the SSDs and finished the decals. I think they turned out pretty good. Let me know what you guys think?

The reason I took so long to get these done is because I got confused which was the front on these SSDs. It seems like they are the other way around from the other SSD and HDD I have in the build now in terms of the connectors on them. So I ended up doing one side with the decal and as I went to install them I realized they're not gonna work that way. So that just set me off in terms of time as I had to go and do the other side. I haven't had time since to get them in the build and get a fresh install of windows on. Hopefully this weekend.

Anyways, here's the right side up which I'm gonna have on display in the SSD windows and you will see the other side below that, with the connectors facing out instead of in like on a normal HDD or other SSDs.







This is the other side.





Thanks for checking it out. Hopefully I'll have them in this weekend, get fresh Windows on and do some benchmarks and final pics of course :D

Cheers,

Alex

Hey guys,
 
SSDs are in and all working great. I have most of my stuff loaded onto them now. I will be doing some benchmarks and taking final pics of the build shortly and then wrapping this build log up!
 
Here's a look at the build with the SSDs in and final cable management in the back. I also added a cool decal to the back of the PSU.
 
Out with the old! Will be reusing these drives after a makeover in my Toxic Chrome 250D build.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
First PSU decal I did, but decided to give it the molecule look afterwards.
 

 
Much better this way!
 

 

 

 

 
 
Thanks for checking in out!
 
If you guys have any requests for a benchmark or any games you would like me to run, let me know and I will see if I can make it happen.
 
Cheers,
 
Alex

This looks great. Benchmarks on Crysis 3 would be interesting to see.

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

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
