they are very good fans, for that very reason!
These are the temp's i'm getting, bear in mind i haven't overclocked yet so everything is @ stock
The fans are spinning up at about 1200rpm and only giving off a very low hum!

I only noticed that when i was looking through the pictures, i've checked it since and there is no leak! I did tighten the screws up even more just to be sure, i hoping it happened when i moved the pc (it's very heavy).
Although its made me paranoid now, i will keep an eye on it and see what happens!
I'm of a similar kinda feeling - the solid black of the GPU's and the bridge could be broken up some, an easier solution would be some white EK-plugs on the bridge? Totally down to your preference though - painting the backplates would probably work out cheaper!
I have thought about buying the Monsoon 1/4" white plugs and putting them in both cards as the white and i have thought spraying the SLI bridge, although i kind of want to try putting the cards in parallel instead of series.
On another note, i've been talking to Monsoon and they are trying to sort me out a custom white faceplate for the front of my bay res!
Nice build mate just bought the same case in white also so sexy
Got a question for you the rad under the videocards,can you fit 120mms there instead of the 140mm?
Yes, the radiator at the bottom is 240mm one, so can fit x2 120mm on the bracket that is supplied at the bottom of the case.
I always take more time with the cables round the back than i do actually installing the parts and watercooling!
My aim was to make all the cables "flow" kind of like arteries (if that makes any sense at all?)
There will be some updates to this build coming at the end of the month, will look forward to posing pictures!
On another note i was thinking of changing the GPU's from series to parallel circuit, will this make the temperatures between the cards equal? I don't know much of the difference, other than the looks ofcourse?
Well there is red lights on my RIVE Black Edition motherboard, to be fair white black and red goes well together!
Thanks
To be honest i'm not really a fan of hard tubing, i prefer the curves of flexible tubing, providing there isn't any slack or sag with the tubing.
Also there really isn't that much tubing on show, which was my whole design idea when thinking about the flow of the tubing.
To be completely honest I just assumed as I had x2 780's in the rig that the bracket wouldn't fit, I never test fitted it with them installed, I'm assuming you mean the pump bracket that covers the grommets?
There was going to be updates to this build, I'm going to add some lighting to the case, I'm thinking of red and white lights! I was going. to get a red led strip to light up the phanteks logo in the little window, and use x2 30cm lighting strips to light up the motherboard and GPU's!
Thanks for checking out the final build pictures though!

Yeah the pump bracket, I actually had to cut mine to fit with the 780Ti's in place the original "cut out" wasn't long enough for my cards to work in Sli I had to move bottom card down a slot.
Yeah I have some white LED strips also but I've never taken a "running" picture, must do that as one of my strips is behind the pump bracket
A small part of me wanted to remove that bracket so i can see the cables that i sleeved, i do plan on making more of a feature of them and also contemplated changing the sleeve to white.....not sure on that front tho?
As for the lighting i wanted to use these.....

Do you know if the plug on these are compatible to the LED connectors in the case? I want to be able to switch the lighting off /on with the switch.
I don't really wish to use the molex connector though, i want to use those dupont connectors that are in the case i hoped that those LED's had the same connector on them? not sure if they are!
My reasoning for buying the external hard drive is that i wanted to move the HDD that was gheto mounted in the bottom of my case into this enclosure, and having SSD only storage in the computer.
The new setup will be the following:
x2 60Gb Corsair Force LS in raid 0 - This is just for Win7 and Drivers
x2 500gb Samsung 840 Evo in raid 0 - This is for games and additional programs
Here are some pictures of the Icy Dock:-
Can anyone recommend a decent drive benchmark software? I want to test the performance i get with the new SSD's.

I've done a few updates to the build mainly the following:
Added x3 LED strips to the interior of the Enthoo Primo
Added x2 500gb Samsung Evo SSD's
Replaced the Mayhems liquid (the old Mayhem's liquid although being clear had turned blue???)
I've re-sleeved all the PSU cables with white sleeve
Finally a few pictures of the complete build......
*^* I didn't really like the GPU power cables in this configuration so i changed them to one below, let me know what you guys think of either of them!
Next on my purchase list is the ROG swift Monitor! will post updates when it arrives!

Thanks mate, its now looking somewhere hear where i wanted it! Looking forward to the next purchase though!
Thank you
I've thought about painting my K95 white..... should be fairly easy? Or is it a case of famous last words?
Thanks guys! Nice to know my work is appreciated by some, not sure my missus would agree though
I've been doing some research into custom painting my keyboard (a corsair K95), does anyone have any experience in this or some helpful hints and tips?
On another note i have an update arriving tomorrow
This will be another little project I'll attempt in the next coming months!
Another update, i had my new monitor arrive! There is only really one choice of monitor these days.....
I decided to move my desk about as I'm no longer using my 40" TV
