Maybe i can finally get cracking on this build?
The more i look at it the more i am thinking this is going to take a lot longer than i thought. Sure i can set it up for a dry run but still waiting on some bits then a few paint jobs, doesn't help having flu so will leave it for another few days.
Still its good to know the main bits n bobs are here
"packed by Brian" cheers Brian if you should be wandering past

Oooh.. pretty.
Let me know if you need any help
You guys have helped me a lot more than i could have hoped (gush time
) but i allways appreciate the offer and i might just need it. Must thank you for throwing me into utter confusion on the ati multibeam thingummy wotsit, am waiting till the end of the month to see if this rumoured gtx 590 or 595 surfaces, mind you if the figures are good it could be a complete colour change
There appears to be 2 packets of white powder in the top right photo, was that why customs gave you so much grief?!
Nay Mr D i reckon the old hags at customs were on their monthlies, just standoffs and screws in there Slow but sure...slow being the keyword.
It looked big enough with one mobo tray and back panel but with the replacement it seems to be taking on huge proportions.
Old backpanel
Replacement backpanel
Might have a potter with the mobo trays tonight/tommorrow

Aye she is that and if she ever left this house it'd be heading straight back to yours
Watercooling - mmwwwahahahahaaaaaa not a hope in hell, note the clearance at the front and the strategically placed rad Mr W3bbo sah....i errr really think you ought to consider watering your new build lol

Got both mobo trays in now, decided not to sacrifice 2nd window view so inverted tray it has to be.
Last thing i wanted to do was drill the case but the security flanges don't quite line up, will leave that untill i do a dry run with the board in just to be sure.
Am well happy with the case itself bit dissapointed that i won't be able to do conventional watercooling with rads etc.

You can easily do watercooling m8? Instead of having the rads horizontal have two running vertical. It looks like they will fit without the shrouds of course. You will only be able to run two out of the four rads but it's better than air! You could also squeeze in another 120.2 rad up top or 2x120.1's?
I have the plain (boring) switches you need m8, gimme a shout and we'll sort something out I'm sure.

Can't wait till this is up and running gonna be a monster
Yeah i could manage the 2 triple rads vertically but by the time i add the fans they will overshadow the mobo tray by 1" or more and it would start to look hemmed in if you know what i mean.
The top 120.2 spacing will house a small hd rack so thats out lol, similar to the one you had attached to the rear fan.
Might have to be a chiller at the end of the day but not 100% keen on the idea, am sat pondering over it now
Plain (boring) switches sound good will email you!!
Evening Mr Marine
I don't think it will ever be finished fully but am in it for the journey as much as anything. Feel free to chip in with any thoughts or ideas you might have am open to suggestion and criticism as normal

Looking good so far TBag - pity about not being able to fully wc it 
I'm still waiting for my new kit to be despatched - just checked and a few of the items I ordered are now out of stock (with no due date) so I'm hoping they put some aside for my order otherwise I will be a very unhappy bunny.....
I'm going for a nice Red, Black & Silver Nickel look on the RE3 - I think it should look good in the 800D you kindly provided for me
Gonna light it up with some UV Led's with Silver Bezels through the MB Tray - going against convention and using RED UV Dye for the loop (instead of UV Tubing). T'is all to do with the choice of fittings & tube size (and lack of UV tube to suit the fittings - Enzotech 10/6.4mm Compression).
Using 6.4/9.6mm tube as I need to make sure things won't get overcrowded in the case when it comes time to do the GPU's - I have a plan
I must admit it has taken longer than expected to get started.

Morning Mr Loudbob sah!
Red black and silver will look amazing in that case i'm sure of it.
I got down and dirty with some braiding over the last few weeks but did not seem to be getting anywhere fast so found a nice supplier and they should be in the post next few days. It is a bit frustrating when you decide on something the readies are in place but you just cannot find stock or supply of the item(s) you want but am a firm believer in the longer something takes the greater the satisfaction.
Have not thought as far as lighting though i have removed everything including 4 cold cathodes so i can start with a clean slate.
Not entirely sure what the end result will be especially seeing as i've not decided on gpu's as yet but by the time i add a few "odd" touches it should take on a life of its own!
I wish you the best of luck with your build Mr Loudbob and am allready looking forward to some snappy snappies

I'll be sure to put up a small build log of the MB & CPU - with the placements of the LED's.
Already have the UV LED's (with silver bezels) - just got to decide on the easiest way to create the holes in the MB tray (8mm reqiured) as it' can be a little tricky so as not to rag the edges and ruin the paint work.
Using some nice 2000MHz G.Skill Trident Memory too (Red Highlights on it).
Like you - I'm still not decided on GPU's - and with the new MB App things may change.

Those 2000MHz G.Skill Trident sticks are the buisness i took a look....wowsa!
I seem to have spent the last few months waiting for stuff before i can crack on.
Must admit after a few days and the odd missing finger tip braiding bit the dust and a very reasonable chinese chappy finally delivered. The pictures don't do the cables justice they are very good quality and just the shade of "blood" red that i was after
So one step closer is a good thing i guess, now its just a question of keeping my finger off the buy button till the end of the month and hope nvidia pull out all the stops with the gtx590. Torn between buy now and get cracking or wait a few weeks and prey for a dual gpu......this is torture pure and simple
So tempting http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-EA

Those cables look great, sending them off is definitely the way forward if you value your sanity!
I tried it once and never again, mind you I was trying to braid the cables without removing the connector ends
2-3 plasters later and i knew braiding was not for me i can and will do it at somepoint but nah this way works for me. Didn't need to send em off they come like that and the wire is red too no nasty yellows or blacks showing up at the connector blocks
Woulda thought this was better value http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-222-AS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1750
