Like MAX11Lv3, this is a customer build. Unlike MAX11Lv3, this one didn't include much modding. But being that it was my first hands on eith the SG07/08 chassis, that was fine with me. Just like the SG05/06 builds, my first one was air cooled and didn't include any mods. This one follows in its footsteps....but adds an extra 4L of volume to work with, plus double the power available.
I won't go into the nitty gritty details on this build, as it was fairly straightforward, "off-the-shelf" so to speak. So the photos should pretty well speak for themselves. Here is the parts list:
Silverstone SG08 - mini-ITX case with 600W PSU
Intel Core i5 2500K - quad core 3.3GHz
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe - Z77 mITX motherboard
16GB G.SKILL Ares DDR3-1866 - 2x8GB DDR3-1866 10-11-10 1.5V
eVGA GTX690 - Dual GPU 4GB monster
128GB Samsung 830 - 128GB SSD for the OS & apps
Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 - 3TB HDD for games and media storage
Noctua NH-C12P SE14 - 140mm CPU air cooler (passive)
Here are some pictures from the build. This took us about 4 hours to complete, and was fairly straight forward.

After the build was complete we had about an hour to get a quick overclock on the CPU to 4.5GHz, and took the GPU up to 1015/1600MHz.
CPU temps were staying under 75C at with IBT stressing, and the GPUs were staying around the same temps while testing.
Overall a pretty impressive system, hopefully I can get the new owner to spend a bit more time tweaking and refining the OCs then post some results here
