This logo could have been as bright as a light bulb, but instead, Snef made its effect subtle, with LEDs on ether side creating a darkened center. After that was finished, a piece of orange acrylic was layered behind it. Snef notes he did not have a CNC or laser machine for this, so the large logo was hand-cut into a 3-mm-thick aluminum panel. The COD logo may appear to be simple in design, but it was labor-intensive to cut into the case. The most eye-catching element of this build is found at the front. Orange and black are splashed lavishly across Black Ops 4 merchandise, and those same colors happen to look great when equipped to a PC. Snef says that he didn’t want to overuse the game’s logo in this PC, but he made sure it would be planted in prominent areas, leaving no question as to what inspired the build. The chassis Snef chose to enlist for active duty is Phantek’s Evolv X, which was picked for its modern, hard-edged aesthetic, and because it suits the board quite well. We discovered through this project that Snef is a massive Call of Duty fan and owns all of the current games, so it turned out to be doubly appropriate that we called on him to build us a COD rig from the ground up. The motherboard’s aesthetic is enough to get any Call of Duty fan excited, with its dark coat of paint, sharp lines, and instantly recognizable game logos above the I/O panel and chipset.
Like the Rampage VI Apex-based build, Snef drew inspiration for his Black Ops 4 build from the motherboard, in this case, the ROG Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi Call of Duty Edition. He also crafted the striking Phoenix, a build that centered around our ROG Rampage VI Apex motherboard.
DECKED BUILDER SYNCING PC
Snef has patrolled these parts more than once before, previously creating the beautiful Aurora Borealis: Goddess of Dawn, a PC chock-full of our RGB-infused Aura Sync components. All of these parts blend our signature ROG style with the unmistakable vibe of Call of Duty, and they served as the inspiration for a truly eye-catching build from renowned builder Snef.
We also launched a host of COD-branded peripherals and components, including our ROG Strix Flare keyboard, the ROG Gladius II mouse, and the decked-out ROG Maximus XI Hero Wi-Fi motherboard. We greeted the game’s launch with many goodies, starting with Aura Sync integration that links the RGB lighting on compatible ROG peripherals with specific in-game events. The newest Black Ops game may be the fifteenth Call of Duty title in the franchise, but the series’ age has done nothing to hold back excitement from the community, or us.
DECKED BUILDER SYNCING SERIES
The series regularly tops lists for the best first-person shooters, and thanks to its action-hungry fanbase, it continues to see the regular release of new titles – the latest being Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4. Since its debut in 2003, the Call of Duty® series has become an industry mainstay, and a model for the kind of success most game developers strive to achieve.
