Yes m8 I have but might do what you suggested tbh m8 be better than posting. Will be a couple of weeks before i get window done, just ordered fans, controller also Led Stripes shame no stock of Bitfenix 200mm black in stock boooo.

Got x2 of the Akasa Led stripes to go under mobo think the brightness might suit it under the mobo. Then if i need another for near the window will get duller silverstone one.

Went with the Corsair AF Led fans in the end for the front of the case.

Good stuff! Is there nowhere else selling the bitfenix 200mm? Has your components arrived yet? I finished my build last night, took 9 bloody hours!!! and still not perfect.

No worries chap, its not like I actually neeeeed to put both 270x's in my main rig, when I did a bit of testing both managed to run for a few hours mining before I decided the temps were a bit OTT and built up a board on a box rig to stick the other card in so know it'll work but any longer I'm not sure my 500w Antec would actually like it long term or at all with gaming as the CPU and GPU's would be getting hit rathet than just the GPU's for mining so there's more money, could spiral pretty quickly.
I could even sell both of the 270x's and stick my old GTX670 back in my main rig as thats a smidge better for games...

Guess we'll see how the Hybrid works if it gets here today..

Tbh you could just go for full out water cooling using universal gpu water blocks like the XSPC ones. They will cool your gpu's nicely. You'll just need to remember to put some passive cooling on your VRM's and memory chips.
 
Parvum Systems S2.0:



There is a new build thread open with the new build and some pointers on the new case but new pics are here too:






















Some Tidying up and some more adjustment:




 
Just ordered some of these to clean up my cables a little bit.




Seen these used in a few builds now and always wondered people got them from! Now i know!


Should get them within this week or next :D
 
Thanks! More to come eventually once I start getting things sorted out. I'm still battling with room and trying to find a way to mount pump and res! It's at a funny angle at the moment.
 
Just ordered the following to mess about with!


NZXT H440 Mid Tower Case - Black x 1
Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 16/10 - Black x 2
Koolance Nozzle Single, *Black* Compression for 10mm x 16mm (3/8in x 5/8in) x 2
Mayhems Ultra Pure H2O Watercooling Fluid 1L x 1
XSPC G1/4" 10mm Male to Female Fitting (Black Chrome) x 2




Also got a few bits coming from the bay as well so keep you posted over the weekend! Gonna perfect this one as much as possible.
 
I was haha, but then i saw the H440 and fell in love again. Got it today and its such a sleek lookin case. It reminds me of the Mini P180 alo in terms of styling, i think thats why i like it so much.












Sorry, pics were from my iphone.
 
Finally finished the build! Again no build pics cos im knackered! Managed a few night shots before I put her to sleep ready for a good gaming session and testing tomorrow!


The NZXT H440 is a top case! A few things I found I don't quite like but hey-ho, can't have everything. The build quality is solid but the NZXT logo is easily scratched and on initial inspection, it seemed quite scratched already. I thought they would have put a protective film over the top of it like on the side panel window.


















Will do some day time shots tomorrow for a better pic of the hardware inside. Can't do any shutter speed shots cos my tripod is in my car!

how you finding the air flow m8?
Click to expand...

Airflow is really good in this case, even with all the front and top panels on it doesn't really restrict it that much. CPU temps haven't changed too much, probably dropped by about 3c from before but GPU temps are now holding steady at 75C when im gaming. Played Watched dogs for an hour this morning and it's been great!


This case is silent! reminds me so much of the Mini P180 except slightly bigger.
