Well I think people may want to know whats actually going to be put in the case....

Or even pics of components.
sorry didnt think of that oops! :o

at the moment

2 dual rads and triple
d5 pump, ddc ultra
avensis 2x4gb 1600mhz ram
fx-4100(till i can get a new cpu)
sabretooth 990fx rev2.0
apogee gtz waterblock
gtx470 with ek waterblock(need to upgrade or add another when i got funds)
gtx260 with ek waterblock
corsair ax850 psu
ek 250ml res and a 200ml phobya nickel res
still looking into fan controllers
no dvd drives dont like them, will use an external
1tb wd black
128gb ocz agility sata 3 ssd
silverstone hddbooster

going to be re-wiring all my psu cables for new ones, as i get the feeling these will defo be too short, so going with some uv green cables wrapped in uv blue braid, with uv blue power connectors, i am hoping i will be able to sort the cable management out as i think i can see a way also
 
changing black ice gt 240mm to a pa120.3

I cannot fathom why people spend loads of money on cases and watercooling with specs like that. Upgrade that CPU and GPU first!

i'm a single dad to a lil boy he comes 1st i come last, the reason behind a crappy cpu and gpu is that takes me along time to get money together to buy parts, i been savin parts for this build over last 2 months when i can and plus by the time my pc is altogether i could be paying £150 for an outdated cpu where as now when i want that 8core it might go down to a ton with haswell coming out too

whats wrong with having medium specs? i mean i choose to have a phobya because of the pricing and how versatile it is, same as watercooling loops, i dont like allinone units and hate heatsinks because of dust and those fiddly stupid clips to hold fans on, i like a dust free chassis

i mean your comment is like saying "extreme system or not at all" i am an enthusiast i have been extreme in the past i mean when a 4870x2 was brand new i had it, i had 3870x2 when it was new, had gtx295 when it was new, im not in the position where i want to spend £1500 on a pc at the moment.

theres more to life than specs,

Nicely said, although i hate justifying myself to anonymous people on forums sometimes you just have to.
 
Some people are never happy tbh. A few moaned at me for using a 3820 over a 3930k :p

Where are you putting the psu?

well i have not had a gaming computer for 2-3 years and after being stuck on a ps3 for a year, a 470 with 260 for physx will seem emmence :cool: plus i only got to buy another 470 or change to 2 580's and that will be enough for me coupled together with an 8 core!

i am going to put the psu at the bottom and rather than mess the original cables up i am going to make all new ones from scratch :D
 
little update, its going to cost me roughly £80-100 for all the hose and cables and connectors i want so i have to make my rig run temporary! call me old fashioned if you like but i prefer standard barbs with some nice strong jubilee clamps
