Theme: The Flash

Currently I have my ROG Swift hooked up to my GPU and my second screen on my Onboard Graphics. I also have my Sony TV hooked up to my GPU but not enabled unless I'm using it, so as to not bog down my GPU. When I have friends over or want to use my TV as a monitor for videos and such, I enable it as my primary monitor. Painted the grills/mesh of my case yellow, as well as the shroud of my sound card. Added high density LEDs into the case (warm white with tamiya clear yellow model paint on the LEDs to establish a good yellow, if you're curious).

Wanted to keep a build log, but the build day was getting drawn out and I didn't want to annoy the friends that were helping me by constantly stopping and setting up pictures. If you ahve any questions, ask away!

Loving your setup and that case looks pretty nice in red, mine is white with an i7 4770 and GTX 980. Your monitor is G-sync? Makes me wish I waited on getting my 1440p monitor before those things became more prevalent in the market.

Oh and welcome

Yup, G-sync monitor. Thing is so fresh. Makes far cry look beautiful, but it also accentuates some its problems lol Can't wait until GPUs make 1440p easy to run and i can run flagship games at top settings and get over 100 fps

That will probably happen once we hit the next die shrink on the GPU side of things, shouldn't be far off.

Other than making the ventilation meshes the same colour as the yellow internals I do not have any advice for this (in the pictures at least, the yellow grills come off as looking fluorescent yellow/green). I love clean looking builds and yours sure looks clean.

@hurricaneivan29: I don't mean to alarm you, but all that glossy red and yellow with no logos or symbols is reading more Iron Man than Flash to me.

Put a lightning bolt on that thing, son!

Oh, the yellow is very sunflower yellow. Pictures makes it come off neon, but it's the yellow you'd expect lol

Friend of mine said the same exact thing. He said that the yellow line reminded him of Iron Man's eyes. I'm not a big fan of stickers, badges and decals... but if I could get a sweet lightning bolt to put on it, I just might lol

You could get a stencil and paint it on.

Rad build, super jealous.
