James Mods: Seasonic AURA MODDED Build (Part 2) MEMORY!

This is part of a new series of modded system builds from our guy James Dawson - we will be presenting these videos with (sometimes!) weekly updates, from start to finish - showing a series of in depth mods to create something unique - will be laser cutting, 3D printing, and hydro dipping a series of projects in parts - and recording everything for you to see with a mixture of Panasonic cameras and Head mounted GO PROS - all in 4K.

Today James takes you through the second part of the SEASONIC AURA build - which involves him taking apart the Corsair memory, then removing the white colouring to make them brushed aluminium - then polishing them to a shined finish. Stay tuned in for Part 3 in around a weeks time!
