Got the idea as i seen the thread for the air case. I've no pics to put up yet, case is coming today then ordering the rest of the machine in two weeks. Would be nice for some guys to put theres up to show off (and give others ideas) out of all the mATX cases i genuinly think its the best out there. Will put a random pic up once i get it today and get the fans in ready, spose its a start lol
 
Tempted to buy this case so I'll be keeping an eye on your progress.

What's the spec for your build?

Will be getting the red version of that ram if it comes in stock if not the patriot red ram.
Still not sure on the gpu its either the above or the inno3d, already have the HD and dvd-rom. Will be getting the h100i in the new year the builds been a bit pricey upto now, then after that a 500gb solid state drive as my only drive for uber speed :)
 
A recent magazine article showed Haswell to gain a slight benefit from using faster memory, seems 2400Mhz is the new 1600Mhz in some reviews, mainly due to it not adding a huge premium in price in many cases.
 
Looks like a good spec. What CPU cooler will you be going with? I'm looking at picking up the H100 which I have seen just about squeezes in the case along with the Z87 Gryphon. :)

How much benefit are we looking at for the faster RAM? Is it noticable in real world terms or just benchmarks?
 
I want the h100i or the antec kuhler h20, whatever one is best but need a bit more pennies so thats going to have to wait a whilst, will get the Thermalright True Spirit 120M to do for the time being. A few extra fps in gaming and 20% better mutlitasking aparently so seems like its worth doing to me :)

Must say im supprised no one else has put there builds in here, i've seen some cracking ones. One guy did an all green one and it inspired me to sack my atx build and go ahead with this :O
 
ordered another two fans, some fancy briaded fan cable extentions, spray paint and top dust filter from demciflex direct. Still nothing major as of yet, that comes next week and time is dragging :'(
 
Cant belive how fast this came, ordered direct from demciflex 6 days ago. Its ment as a rad cover but im purely useing it to keep evil dust out
 
Here is a picture of mine from back when i built it, could really do with one of those filters for the top as the amount of dust that gets in through there is unbelievable!

Hmmm.
Need to downsize my system due to moving in to uni halls, its between the 350D which means Ill have to change motherboard as well, the 300R or the Lian Li PC-A05FNB.
