Subject: Republic Of Gamers -- ROG-BOX (Mini ITX) by MTMods on 2017/7/1 9:17:31  Welcome to the build logs for ROG-BOX What is ROG-BOX ? ROG-BOX is a mini itx monster build packing serious punch! Designed just for ASUS/Republic Of Gamers, ROG-BOX is going to play on the RGB Lighting that's offered from the motherboard and GPU. Design phase  The plan here was to make one mean looking rig, in a compact space, and watercooled. With a 1070 or 1060 GPU (I didn't plan on a mega mini ITX, but asus had other ideas) After speaking with ASUS UK, They offered up a ROG Poseidon 1080Ti Which sparked some pretty creative changes as you'll see further down  Spec list (Click parts for links to website) Intel Core i7 7700k ASUS ROG STRIX Z270i mini ITX ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX 1080Ti Team Group Night Hawk RGB White DDR4 RAM Fractal Design Define nano S (Case) PSU - TBD Cablemod RGB Widebeam LED Kit + Extensions Watercooling - All Alphacool Partners Special Thank you to my partners ASUS ROG UK Cablemod TeamGroup Global <3 On to the actual work! Started with the shroud (Easiest thing to do) Cut to size, and bent using heat gun  I then sprayed the shroud, with a matt black powder paint.  i then decided that since the change of hardware, i should have some fun! [SIZE=3]i cut up a square of white like so  using vinyl i marked the areas i wanted to keep white and put the logo on.  Checked it all fitted, and what it'd look like (I like it)  i then sprayed the plastic with the same black powder paint, waited until dry and peeled off the vinyl. [MEDIA=youtube]avOMy3gH4Ws[/MEDIA] And tested how they all looked once in  I then went back to the front panel and thought ''This needs something'' So, i got to work     Once that was all done, i peeled off the vinyl again, and was left with this!  This is where i am currently at from 2 days work. Will hopefully get more done this weekend. Including sanding all the panel edges, to get them perfect  Let me know what you think Thanks for looking. -Craig[/SIZE] |
