Great build, love the bottom fan thing.

Watch out for that res, I had one and it leaked all over me!
 
Very nice! Subtle changes can make a huge impact on overall appearance :)

Thanks

How do you mean? what happened that made it leak? I have been running this for almost a month and it is gold so far.

Thanks... it is a work in progress, I cant wait to get back my taxes and get my CPU and mobo block installed
 
Very well done.

While it is minor, I think the black plexi over the 5.25 bays makes it look a lot nicer.

Ya and you only see it when the door is off :p

I am going to cover the current HDD area, and move the HDD and SSD to the lower HDD area.
 
Great work. Very nice. Too bad teal is the ugliest color on earth.

where is the teal? I wish I could take some pictures good enough to show what the inside color really looks like.

Maybe on a sunny day (I live in Oregon this doesn't happen) I can take it outside and get some natural light on it and maybe get better pictures

Maybe a "not my choice of color but looks nice" would have sufficed. Looks pretty green to me though.



All I've got to say is that I am very impressed by how much of a difference it makes. It looks great. Thanks for all the pics.

Thanks man, means a lot, I cant wait for the rest of my parts to get here and I can get going on the other items at hand for this ever changing build :D
 
Looking better and better every week man, loving the gloss over the drives!

Knew it wouldn't take long before that Physx card (8800GS) I got yea would be out of your build... I'll be taking mine out too sometime, it makes the computer ugly. Damn ugly-ass-green Nvidia cards....

Again looks good!
 
It would look better if the H50 and both 120MM fans where inside the case. That's what I did.
 
thanks Warrior, means a lot man

Will not fit both the 120 and outside 140mm fan inside the case, the vreg cooler on the board get in the way.

Doesn't make any difference though because the H50 has run it course and will be gone in a few short weeks. I have a swiftech block in the mail
 
Not the first color one would pick for a case. Color combination with black is what makes it IMO, any other case color would break it.

It's is a sharp looking case. Looks better every update :)

When you ran the arctic cooling ram cooler, did you run the arctic cooling ram cooler fins too?

http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/others.html
Or were you able to mount that ram cooler to your regular ram sticks no problem?
Click to expand...

didn't know it had fins :D those are nice... but I don't care about my RAM that much...lol and @ $8 per stick of RAM its not worth it.

I have been attaching it to the RAM clips on the motherboard to get it closest to the RAM as possible.
This picture shows it:

Do you have a better pic of how you attached it?

that's pretty fuzzy
Click to expand...

Ya camera sucks.

Sorry no. my computer is also in about 100 pieces across my work bench...

It is just clipped under the RAM clips on the motherboard though, really a simple cooler.

I could attach it though and take a picture, I will post later tonight when I get home
 
Yeah its hard to see, but the paint has a real nice metallic look to it in person.


Looks all good! I know you got your parts in, so maybe some updated pics!
