Hi guys and welcome to my build log for a mod I will be calling KRAIT VENOM. This will be my entry in the MSI PRO MOD Season 3.

The theme will be based around the MSI Krait theme and will be all blacks and white.

I will be transforming the Thermaltake Versa H34 and show that you don't need a high end expensive case to have a good looking PC

Here are the main specs:

Case - Thermaltake Versa H34
Motherboard - MSI Z170A Krait Gaming
CPU - Intel i5 6600K
Memory - 2 x 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 2800Mhz DDR4 Memory
GPU - MSI GTX 960
SSD - Intel
M.2 - 256GB Samsung SM951 PCI-E M.2 SSD
PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 550W

Cables - Icemodz Fully Custom Individually Sleeved Cables

LEDs - Icemodz RGB LED Strips

Thermaltake Custom Watercooling

Radiator - Pacific RL360 White Edition
Fans - 6 X Riing 12 LED White
CPU Block - Pacific W2 CPU Water Block
Pump - Pacific P1 Black D5 Pump w/ Silent Kit
Reservoir - Pacific R22
Fittings - Pacific G1/4 PETG Tube 5/8” (16mm) OD Adapter – Black
Tubing - V-Tubler PETG Tube

Coolant - Mayhems Aurora II Silver

Here is a pic with the starting hardware, I will most likely use the AIO for the first stage of the build before doing a full custom loop.



Thanks for checking it and stay tuned for more!

Alex

Hi guys!

Back with another update, this time I want to showcase the MSI GTX960 following with the black and white theme of the build























Just a few more hardware updates and the modding will begin

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi guys!

Time for another update!

It seems like the MSI dragon has gotten out of his cage and into the build as I'm doing some test fitting with the Thermaltake Pacific RL360 Rad.

The build looks like it will have a custom loop going in after all starting with this awesome and rather large rad compared to this case, already powdercoated in white by Thermaltake.



















Once the test fitment is done, out with the dremel rotary, jig saw and scroll saw on this case before doing the paint job





Thanks for checking it out!

Stay tuned for more!

Hi guys!

Back with another quick update!

I want to show you some more goodies. Awesome Thermaltake Riing fans with white LED and Thermaltake Thoughpower 550W PSU which will be more than enough for this build as well as the the G.Skill Ripsaws V DDR4 memory.





























Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more!

Very nice picture and very nice hardware. Btw. I've been thinking about switching to a grey background as well. It gives you good contrast yet it doesn't eat up all the light.

Yup that's exactly why I went with grey, thought it would give a nice contrast with any product colour . I am sorta thinking of setting up a spot in my house for some nice general shots away from the studio, I'm starting to feel this plain background is becoming kinda boring in my build logs
