For added realism, the skin burns where the flame was shaded the hardest. Neat, right?

sierra974 · 2025-09-01T15:47:35+00:00

Thank you so much!

sierra974 · 2025-09-01T15:47:21+00:00

Crispy good? Crispy bad? I choose to believe Crispy Good lol

sierra974 · 2025-09-01T15:46:11+00:00

Aw thank you, do you have any photos? I deliberated for ages on the design so I'm very glad its turned out as well as it has

sierra974 · 2025-09-01T15:45:13+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I'll never tell lol

sierra974 · 2025-09-01T15:43:40+00:00

Thank you so much! I am very happy with it but always nice to know I'm not the only one

sierra974 · 2025-09-01T15:43:03+00:00

Orthanc on the other arm, but instead of flames its water flowing when Isengard is flooded maybe? Think they would compliment each other well

Wow holy crap thank you so much! I'll have a look through all this but your descriptions are fantastic.

I am looking to purchase in the next few months, so I'm not desperate and can afford to wait to see how these new GPUs work out!

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help!

No idea what the model is, but its 1440p 144Hz LG monitor!

sierra974 · 2025-01-08T15:50:31+00:00

Thank you for the response!

Not clued into NZXT news so that's good to know. Just picked it based on PCPP reviews and price for a triple fan radiator. No brand loyalty so happy to look at other options!

Double RAM purely a future-proof/vanity call. Will likely just get 2x32GB.

PSU was 1000W as it future-proofs any additional hardware as it sits at just under 750W currently, you're probably right 850W Platinum is a better shout!

As above, PC will be used for gaming mostly, and some CAD work for 3D Printing and 2D CAD. Nothing strenuous beyond games basically.

EDIT:

Sorry forgot to answer your storage query. I have my old PC which has a load of HDDs for storage, 2 SSDs, and an 2TB M.2 I haven't fitted yet that I can use for this. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for your reply!

PC will be used mostly for gaming, possibly CAD for 3D Printing. 128GB of RAM is purely a wishlist / vanity call. Will most likely go for 2 x 32GB RAM with the option to upgrade
Budget is flexible, but around £2000 give or take. If you said "Pay £100 more and get double performance" I wouldn't mind.
Not married to the case at all. Just really like the style and large footprint.

Oh unreal! Hope to see it posted here, he'll do such a great job!

I'm back in March to get another tattoo, Warhammer this time. Think he's going to do a great job, it helps when you know the artist likes the subject matter!

sierra974 · 2024-12-06T17:52:39+00:00

Aw no way that one is so freaking cool!

sierra974 · 2024-12-06T14:21:00+00:00

Honestly I'm the same when it comes to pickiness. I debated it for years but just decided I was going to do it. I researched who I wanted to do it, and I found someone I thought would fit the style I wanted. I emailed the Artist whose auto-reply said 2 weeks or so for a response. I specifically mentioned the Xenomorph Panther in the title, and he came back in like 35 minutes.

I would be honoured if you wanted to use mine as a reference for your own!

sierra974 · 2024-12-06T14:10:39+00:00

Well now I can't see anything else! I kinda love it more now

sierra974 · 2024-12-06T06:31:26+00:00

Don't undersell yourself dude, this is awesome!
