Yup, I still love the case to this day. It may not have all the nice stuff from modern cases like grommetted wire management holes, dust filters, space behind the mobo tray to tuck wires, toolless drive mount etc.... But rATX and thick side panels are great.
And here she lives, it's about 90%...
Ordered an 5960X with a UD4 board and some G.Skill DDR4. Hopefully would come within a week. Sad part is I'll be busy will mid September and won't be able to put together everything and leak test my loop :(
Current rig will be downgraded to a secondary machine running stock clocks.
This is great. James Moore (Ministry of Industry) is on a crusade against the big Telcos for cheaper rates and more choices for consumers.

Pretty impressive with these custom PCB boards.
My reference Gigabyte 7970 only does 1275 @ 1.3v with water, the whole rig is silent though and the chip hums around at 45C
I wondered that too when I installed my block. Instruction says peel the protective film. THERE'S NO FILM FFFFFFFUUUUU. Took me a while to just say fuck it and used a tiny dab of paste to hold the pads in place.
As to my OC:
Gigabyte 7970
1275/1700 @ 1.275v
Running at about 40C or so...
Now where are the EK and XSPC full cover blocks?...
Pretty insane oc results and I'm definitely going to get a FC block for this beast, been using a GPU only block...
Go for function first, like rad, blocks, pump, res, and add all the fancy extras later. There's nothing wrong with straight barbs, you just need a bit more slack on the tubing....
When you have a bit more to spend later down the line, you can simply get some nicer rotary barbs or compression...
I had the M60 on preorder for 2 months and was anxiously waiting for the release.
The hardware is nice but the drivers are sucking at the moment. Hope it gets fixed soon...
