i cant say the colours are to my liking but at least its something different to the norm, that aside this is an awesome machine. good work that man

about the colours..
I thought it would be funny to built it that way
Instead of purple or blue ano stuff which is used and abused
I know it's almost a parrot, but I think I like it that way, I must say that I wasn't sure the final effect
And these are Litespeed colours (stripes)
My next build (FAT TI) will be purple/blue
