Full Name: Andrew Taylor Gaming Handle: AXERAVEN Location: Omaha, NE
Behold Luna in all of her glory. Andrew has captured her essence in this custom built system, themed around the NVIDIA demo character. Andrew was bitten by the mod bug and has put a personal touch on almost everything in this PC.
As you might have guessed, Andrew likes to keep an eye on his hardware. He started with a C3 acrylic case, which was laser cut to integrate the Koolance Water cooling system - this keeps the CPU at a very cool 34 degrees Centigrade. He then added two 150GB Western Digital Raptor-X drives which allow him to see right in to in a RAID 0 array (they have unique clear cases that provide a direct line of sight to the platters.
Andrew also likes to keep things clean, and that is evidenced by his neatly managed UV-reactive cable sleeving, ensuring plenty of airflow. The bottom of the PC is mirrored to enhance the lighting and effects from the two UV Lamps, one UV Laser, and two blue Plasma Tubes.
And last, but certainly not least, Luna is shown on one side of the case, along with an SLI fan grill and NVIDIA's "The way it's meant to be played" logo on the other side.
Experience the Power indeed!
