Wow not much of a fan of the case tbh but those SSD's look great

Can't wait to see the finished build.

Quality build with stunning images as always James, look forward to seeing this one progress. I really do like that case...

Merry Xmas

Been a while since an update, been busy in real life

Here's the EK Supremacy CPU block and EK Monarch ram blocks I'll be using!

(No, not an EVO, I got this block before the EVO came out)

Looks great inside the case, shame they have that silly red paint on all the components. I think because of your great images my eye was caught by it. I wonder if anyone has ever removed that just for aesthetic purposes, would be nice just all metal.

Happy New Year

Is that board just the x99 version of the Z97 Stinger?

Just perfect pics truly top notch . Do you love this case as much as I do?

mysticsniper · 4 Jan 2015 at 22:50

Sweet build so far, I can't wait to see the end product. :cool:

wengole · 6 Jan 2015 at 03:28

Love the look of the motherboard. This whole project is incredible - in cost, photos and specs!

Looks great, i used to make my own water blocks from copper plate and pipe before they were readily available, and was tempted a few times to try piping a whole system in copper, but was put off when i realised how annoying it would be getting the air bubbles out without been able to see them

Can't wait to see how it looks once ya get that pipe bender busy. Are you gonna coat the pipes in anything to keep them nice and bright or just leave them to colour naturally?.

edit, just noticed your using plated copper, looks nice that stuff, i plumber my shower in using it.

Received another care package from Slovenia today...

Six of EKs new delicious Vardar fans. I opted for the all-black 3000rpm "FF5" series Vardar fans. Out of the box the FF5 version comes with red sleeving which is purty, but I'll be re-sleeving with something that matches the build more.

Really digging the clean aesthetic

Even though you said everything will be 'vanilla' for the build, I'd design something for the centre of those fans.

That's not out of the question

Here's the lovely EK pump/res combo I'll be using
