All housed in a new shiny 650d ;D

I decided from my last case to keep the black and red theme. A lovely total of £800 for upgrades :')

So yesterday the new case, mouse and the H100 arrived ;D the other parts should all be here tomorrow... I hope

The h100 with 4 fans fitted is SO tight, only just able to get it in with the 8pin power for the mother board.

Thats all done so far, took 10 minutes to upload these photos ^^
 
i love the 650D im a massive fan, i posted mine in the case gallery last week finally finished red and black.

Evoss yours looks awesome in green!!

About the buid :P looking good so far but i would have gone with the blue vengance ram instead of that one to match more
 
I would have gone blue but the low profile means if the h100 ****s up, and i go back to an air cooler, im not restricted by the size of the ram!
 
finished the build last night but ended up in the pub haha ;P so here are the rest of the photos:

Non-modular ftw.

you do know that you can remove that plastic bit where the ssd is? There are some screws located underneath the case to remove it to give better air flow. You can then mount the SSD at the back as I see your HD rack is full.

Additionally if that white zip tie is used to hold the fan controller into place then similarly you can remove that 5.25" drive lock by pushing up on the pin in the middle using a precision screwdriver and it will fall out easily. You can then access the mounting holes for the fan controller and install it correctly. You can then push the drive lock back into place so that everything is OEM.
