Alienware Area 51 ALX i7 6700K upgrade and custom water cooling build

[DreamstrikeR]

Hello and thank you for a great place to post builds. I hope you guys/girls like the build and enjoy seeing peoples brain flashes come a live as much as I do. This was one fun build for me and I enjoyed doing it, but its not done yet (lot more to come). I bought the new Alienware case to start a new build and I really do not like the new case as much as I like this one. It's not made no where near the same quality as this case is. If you have not seen or felt one of these you need to. They are a tank of a case and hard to believe Dell built it. I have it listed on ebay right now. I think I am going to pull it down and sale the other case after a lot of looking. I will list the parts I used then I will post pictures and at the end I will list the upcoming mods I plan on doing next. My plan is to keep this post updating through out the rest of the build. I hope you enjoy. Thanks again and looking forward to comments and suggestions.
