My Home Built Computer

[SpikeyJohnson]

Just brought the computer up from the "office" to dust it out and decided to grab a few photo's for the Overclock.net Corsair Air 540 Club. I built this machine back in January to do my photo editing, web design, video editing and gaming on.

The system has been a blast and I finally got to photograph it. This specific photo is a composite of 7 images. They ranged everywhere from 1 second to 20 seconds and I used my SB-700 off camera to light specific area's of the computer. I think this could have been done in 3 images or so but it was easy to let the computer chomp away in photoshop afterwards. More to work with is better anyways. I took a photo lastly to show the lit hardware of the computer such as the CPU water block, BIOS message display and the Onboard Audio Lighting.

It was definitely a fun little night up in the kitchen playing with my camera and my flash and then hooking the computer up and editing the photo's
