3rd Prize Build Complete - OC3D 2012 Madness Competition

[DK85si]

"I don't think this is too bad for 3rd place rig..." Too bad?! I'm about to spend 850€ on a new gaming rig and it's not gonna be AS good as that one... </3

[PeaterNagy]

Nice prize, hope I will be the lucky one who won this machine...

[Androgenies]

Oh my god! This is third prize?! My god! This is even overkill for me! I WANT THIS!!! :) Thank you for giving us the opportunity, Sir Tom Logan. :)

[TheEastSideGamers]

This would be amazing for me! my current rig consists of an AMD Sempron 2400+, a NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 and a 40gb HardDisk :( Would really LOVE to win this!!!!!!

[Gypopotamus]

want.

[SuPeRPiiG]

Seriously hope I my p.c is so wooden and have had it for 2 years, gaming on it is SHOCKING!

[MrBoxfacetramp13]

Fucking hell my computer broke while i was re-watching these vids -.-

[TyneGibbs12]

That ending XD

[pilotenhandboek]

How do you enter the competition?

[MrDerxX]

@pilotenhandboek do ever looked at video description !! 

[tubehiki]

the CPU cooler looks totally out of place

[IliaLoz]

@tubehiki I think that the cables colour is out of place. The cooler match great with the PSU and the graphics card.

[tubehiki]

@IliaLoz i think you're right in terms of color match. all those braided cables make the build look flimsy, in my opinion.

[Jay11Block]

id bee happy with this too

[Jay11Block]

sweet



[shadowofadoubt14]

do you mean the gtx 560 or the gtx 560ti

[DazedUKDub]

I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this! love colour scheme. Good luck everyone!

[Mr2tanners]

Thanks for your efforts on these. I'd really love to see you fire them up as well, to see the lights and bits and pieces going.

[zelly2k9]

do you have to sleeve the alchemies urself or are they pre applied?

[kubas195]

You sir are an artist those cables at the back look actually really cool man

[HowToPromod]

Hey I was wondering how the winner is picked? Is it off a random name choosing app, or you do something random to choose yourself??

[SuPeRPiiG]

must be fun making your own pc :)

[TheKrypto007]

This Is Prize is A LOOOOOOT Better than my pc X) Very COOOOOOOL :X:X:X:X:X

[TortillaGaming]

Damn, 3rd Prize is better than my main PC, FML.

[potatocats]

@TortillaGaming First World Problems...

[TortillaGaming]

@potatocats You're using it wrong.

[probaner92]

thumbs up for the end :D

[VIPERWIN32]

this is a EPIC rig!!! good work :)

[RajeshR6761]

this is really awesome for a 3rd prize!

[SuPeRPiiG]

I hope you didn't think I was being rude earlier ^^ i just can't wait to see who wins xP

[arjun57689]

what are the clock speeds on the 2700k

?

[mattfm101]

The first time I will ever be happy with 3rd place !!!

[MAXPLOSIVE]

Tom, when will you build the other prize builds? :D

[happyfarang]

That's a sweet box!!! can't wait to see the NV rig \(^-^)/

[SuPeRPiiG]

When do the winners get announced? :)

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@SuPeRPiiG after the compo ends 

[SuPeRPiiG]

@TimeToLiveCustoms And when does the comp end I mean your basically saying the end of the comp and announcement are on the same date so why not tell me the date :P

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@SuPeRPiiG nope AFTER the comp ends... When ever I get round to it after the compo closes.

[SuPeRPiiG]

@TimeToLiveCustoms so then when does the compo close then :S omg im just looking for a date to look forward to xD

[residentbipolar]

@SuPeRPiiG 28th February.

[SuPeRPiiG]

@residentbipolar yay :DD

[Ryd3r22]

@TimeToLiveCustoms should of went with a i5 2500K. The Hyperthreading will make 0 difference in gaming. A i5 2500K and GTX 570 would be better!

[PremchandNL]

@Ryd3r22

STFU

[Wesdamac8]

@SuPeRPiiG When and where will the winner get announced? PLEASE AND THANK YOU

[CradleComputers]

i still think my suggestions where better. green goblin, green hornet, and green lantern. atleast they used one of my suggestions.

[MAXPLOSIVE]

I want to see the 2nd prize build! :D

[iamapacman]

Amazing!

[SuPeRPiiG]

omg someone actualy got this for free I would be a happy guy :DDD

[denoo11]

Hey i have question, how can i build too that green cables? where can i buy it a mount it?

[NerdMirage]

@denoo11 The cables are Bitfenix Alchemy. You can get them from aria(dot)co(dot)uk

[xnax1993]

I love that you dont just throw everything in the case, but you actually make it all look good (:

[janedagger]

Very nice for 3rd place, and I have to admit that case is the bomb. It is a shock to see black since last year's comp with the white theme. And the drooling has started again!

[Ardonn]

I know I said it already but, this is such an AMAZING 3rd prize.. crazy stuff Tom

[sjatar1]

a better name for it should be the creeper black and green

[pcaddict1337]

Poison Ivy would have been ca good name for a Ivy Bridge system.Poison=Green and Ivy=Ivy Bridge

[MrJonahRambo]

@pcaddict1337 but its not ivy bridge

[djcrossfade]

this rig would kick ass for vid djing

:)

[djcrossfade]

nice

[redboylfc1]

cool name! cool system! cool builder!

[TelepathicT]

I WANT THIS SOOOO BAD.

[jamjamnix000]

Great rig for 3rd place winner. Keep up the good work.

I will be entering the comp now that my gaming rig just exploded. (PSU conked out and fried my whole system) Not a happy bunny.

Good luck to all who enter.

And grats to all the manufacturers and the TTL people for putting on a great comp.

[enzudesign]

Great third place build, excited to see how good the other two are now :)

[T0mB1ll]

I dont need 1st or 2nd prize computers, too strong :D

This would be just fine..

[Gdeft]

this is rock solid for a third place prize! best of luck all

[Wesdamac8]

I like it. This build would be a dream to have compared to my amd fx4100 build.

[Hookj5]

Nice rig, cant wait for the second place rig build.

[JmanEspresso]

Thumbs up for Bitfenix Alchemy cables!

SOOO much easier then single sleeving an entire PSU, and coming from someone who has done that, Ill be using the Alchemy cables for my builds now. True you cant make dual color cables, but the time saved, and especially the end result.. Fantastic.

[IC00MBZY]

@TheCreatingconcepts you mean 2700k

[KonvictedArts]

Great job putting it together m8, neat cable management too!

[ulftnightwolf]

awesome prizes m8

[Ac0rnX]

Hotmail Blocked me from creating emails (i made to many), DAM IT

[89Joh89]

I would be very very happy even if you give me the third prize :D

[AllatuAugustus]

I think its EPIC, next time do all purple :P

[maphacker111]

Hey goiiys!

Hahaha i love your accent XD

Awesome prize omfg! :'(

[nemul]

i love Bitfenix.. i got the black shinobi, all spectre pro fans, and red alchemy strips. going grab the usb 3.0 card reader soon too.

[pinkyndabrain129]

Are you MAD bro? This is crazy.

[PCModderMike]

Awesome

[asuperpower]

If Tom says that the Alchemy cables are the best, he obviously hasn't seen Lutro0 customs cables. :D

[3HACKRZ]

awsome build. i think that you shouldn't send it with a operating system. youve alredy done alot. got to say them alchemy cables look awsome. might consider getting some for my rig.

[TheCreatingconcepts]

Looks good. Like the fact it has 2600k you could wack a gtx570 or gtx580 when you get a bit of cash and away you go.

[RebelLime]

could REALLY do with winning a competition like this, need a system upgrade. up-and-coming youtuber but kant record any of my games on my laptop :(

[0HaRdLoCk0]

hahha 8:55 Turn on Closed Captioning!

[beattie282]

lol look at 9.18

[h0tstepp3r]

Im feeling lucky :D!

Nice video again and again.

[rakib567]

why am i not subbed to you?

[IamTheJesusGuy]

is it the 384 core version? or 448?

[sxyphatboy]

is is right if i jizzed during this video

[MAXPLOSIVE]

Should I try to enter my email again or will it block it then? :S

[johnnypodfreak777]

That's a seriously awesome build, love the green theme!

[ycageLehT]

I wonder how people can dislike a video like this, they need their fingers broken. :)

[Galal0110]

that last stare in the end scared me!!

[DONrevans]

amazing" can't wait to win it! LOL

[blizlake]

Y U No show it with the led fans on? :(

[Williamchan87]

its a great 3rd prize....

[domspandesal]

RIGGASM! :) its only the 3rd and how about 1st? CUMRIG!

[MAXPLOSIVE]

I added my email yesterday but I still havent gotten a reply :S

[konwict90]

If i win NV system everyone is gonna be NV :D

[1nfoJunkie]

I don't much care for flashy-looking builds (bright lights shining in my eyeballs irritate & piss me off), but if I win one of the three computers I'd still gladly rip the guts out of the system to upgrade the components in my case! (I'm still rockin' with a Q6600!)

[JamieBell1994SCO]

@1nfoJunkie Nice mate, i still run a Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 haha

[GRUMBLEXMUSIC]

looks sick!

[Alwkiller]

What is the best case for only aircooling?

[TheCaNin3]

@Alwkiller i like my HAF X.

[Alwkiller]

@TheCaNin3 thanks

[CradleComputers]

haha.. they picked one of my choices. i suggested green goblin, green hornet, and green lantern.

[z0mg1234]

Love the case, just used it in a build for a friend.

[jasonknightmare]

I don't think anybody could complain about this system should they win it. Very good for a third prize!

[njalsdempsey]

Awesome build!

[jnkAlf]

Nice system :) And regarding OS.... well since the cards are Nvidea use Linux xD Linux Nvidea drivers deliver the same performance as windows ones.

Considering that I currently have a laptop for my main system (and that my dream build is sort of down the gtx 560 ti lines...). I would think that anybody should be more than happy to get that for a main rig :)

[XiXmomoXiX]

Green is mean and should be seen! nice rig tom

[DaathStar]

Tom you've got aloe on the top right of the screen. Also Great rig!!! I'm an Intel/Nvidia fan and I've wanted a green computer since forever. Hope I win!

[venomblade891]

Bitfenix Shinobi is sexy as fuck. Wish it was the white one, but oh well, it's not like I'ma win lol.

[ddrmegamixer]

Nice compact rig, my train of thought was along the same lines for names, at least green goblin but my other one was hulk :) I would be more than happy with any of them Q6600 is getting old showed it's age a year ago, let alone now lol

[mystery512]

Honestly Tom I think it would have looked better without the alchemy cables. Being the only splash of green on the inside just looks a bit off.

[flame2810]

@mystery512 Its got Green LEDs remember

[SxyRikku]

I can't believe that is the same build I was looking at for a mates little brother to get him in computers with the 2700k z68-ud4 with bitpheonix shinobi. If I won any of these builds it would make my day and my mates little brother day because I would give my hig what Im on now.

[ro2life]

3rd place..... Nice. Whoever wins that is going to feel like #1

[r3nd3z]

I will give my left nut for the first prize in this competition. Only need one, right? :>

[IHunger4Battle1]

The only thing I'd think about changing would be the sata cable running across the middle. If it were me, I'd have the sata cable running down then across to the SSD (I'm assuming that's where that one's going).

Other than that, top notch build as always!

[powerfuse]

It's nice, I'd love to win one of those. Do have a bit of a question about why the SSD is taped to the bottom, makes adjustments a little awkward IMO. Nice though

[iiDRUMCOREii]

as i was watching this i had to keep reminding myself that this is only THIRD place....... i love this giveaway even if i dont win anything lol

[BramSLI1]

I've built myself a black and green themed build that I've named G0dz1lla. I don't think you can really do any better than black and green. I used to be partial to black and red, but it's been overdone. That is one sexy looking rig Tom!

[eBombzor]

Bundle the 3rd place prize with Noctua and the other green fans?

[Georg1979]

BitFenix Alchemy cables are the best! Nice, tidy build. I like it. It looks very similar to mine.

[arturgoskpoland]

@Georg1979 That is why tom is using them

[heratus007]

I'm not greedy so I will settle for 3rd place.

[CAP4400]

Sorry mate not a fan of the build.

[2011Zeven]

@CAP4400 because?

[CAP4400]

@2011Zeven

Personal taste and it just doesn't work for me.

[connor124694532]

@CAP4400 It's free...who cares what it looks like.

[EmoCactus]

Throw in a green cathode!

[juanantonyphoenix]

you should leave the NHD 14 because It matches with the PSU

[epeets]

I see my next rig is gonna have extension cables.... Damn you TT!

[1BYEBYE1]

i tried to put my psu upside down but my cpu power cord won't reach the top of my board in my haf x and i don't want to use the extender :'(

[Blackcupra43]

that d14 is not new

[Jj286]

Well Better than my ideas, Black Lime and Black Mint.

[tuke8]

were to get this custom cables

[shoda07]

Pretty looking rig.

Get rid of the grass! It is so tacky!

[Vaeroth81]

Looks great Tom!

[mocgpower]

Has anybody ever won ? Or is this fixed i'm new to this and i never won so that's why i am asking :D

[Iopipimps]

was wondering what the hell kinda plant was that on the upper right of the screen.

[Deathshamy24]

green led fans on the cpu cooler would be cool

[birthepimp]

Well done sir. Green and black are just slick with each other.

[oziid]

ttl, respect.

[hails13who]

3rd prize...looks awsome, i just can't wait to win first :)

[daol03]

very nice third price Tom, it's a perfect gamerig and it looks really good with the green theme!

[ferry0077]

omg tom fell off my screen at the end!

great build :D if i win i'll pay that shipping cost with a realy bigsmile on my face :) but i don't deserve it, i got a great gaming computer and i know someone is gonna be so happy with this

[unknownuser200985]

can we see it lite up?

[tschouschai]

I guess this would be the build i want. I have an old 775 cpu with too little ram but a GTX570 that would be just perfect!

[ajvanho007]

Hope I m gonna win 1 of these builds :)

[armgo]

Phonetically nvidia means envy in spanish

[Nethandral]

BEAUTIFUL individual sleeved cables!

[dadonn]

I understand the parts were donated, so there wasn't a great deal of flexibility - but if only the "Green Goblin" were a bit more green...

:/

[RHossall]

@dadonn when turned on everything will be lit up green :P its full of green LED fans :P

[xPhilipz0r]

quick question guys, would i have to fit a noctua nh-d14 to the motherboard before fitting it inside a corsair 600t? i'm concerned there won't be enough space to screw the motherboard into the case when the noctua is on there.



[McManus667]

@xPhilipz0r Try it both ways.

[flatroncup]

perfect job . but in my opinion this is more than enough for a gaming pc.

But the name tells all - OC3D 2012 Madness Competition.

[flatroncup]

i hope the 4th prize is a gaming case :(

[flatroncup]

It looks fantastic. An amazing third prize.

[mrmactknife]

There's some kind of tree growing in the corner of Mr Logans office, how 1970's lol

[psychoclown420]

FAP FAP FAP

[iCuTomohawk]

i asked that before you said it in the video

[iCuTomohawk]

will you be putting an OS on it???

[arturgoskpoland]

@iCuTomohawk if he can get some from retailer than yes if not you will have to get your own for future watch whole video first

[bitbloop]

I love all of this and the competition is awesome, but I can't help but think that the 2700k is overkill for the 560 Ti...

Anyway, amazing building Tom!

[IGiantEnemySquirrel]

@bitbloop No it's not.

[bitbloop]

@IGiantEnemySquirrel Isn't it? I was under the impression that most games don't utilize more than 4 cores, and the 2700k is basically just a 2500k with Hyperthreading....

And the 560 Ti is a pretty mid-range card, compared to the 2700k which is definitely enthusiast-tier.

[IGiantEnemySquirrel]

@bitbloop Oh yeah, I completely forgot the i5 series existed.

[SirGomez81]

me jelly!

[RaiseTheFPS]

Would lopve to see this lit up :D

[MrMiggoH]

You should not even enter into this contest, im gonna win anyway :D

[renerant]

Nice build, although in my opinion the Noctua fans should be swapped to better match the colour theme.
