some graphical horsepower has appeared
quick strip to remove the top bay to get the gpu in properly
ewwww
cables tucked
roll on some decent lighting arriving
the aerocool case is starting to grate on me now
side panel wont fit n because this is sitting down the side of the mobo tray
not going to be easy on the cable management front
that said
its fully functional albeit only at 3.9ghz and a gpu at stock settings.
I reckon i'm about half way there now with a fair bit of parts still to arrive
still to add
braided cables
hd audio and mobo connection extenders
2tb mechanical.
led lighting
and a good bucketload of patience to get it neatened up

Looks good, shame about the case but it looks like its metallic paint though so would've thought it would be hard to match
233 top tip
don't come home after being at work since 4am and decide to get an hour of pc building in,
its not a bright idea
started off so well, quickly mounted the H100i after being briefly baffled by the adjustable feet on the backplate and wondering why it didn't fit for ten minutes
LEDs mounted,
and rad back out to mount the fans as I couldn't get a screwdriver in doh
oh oh bit tight going to be fun getting a 6 and 8 in there
now this is where it got confusing I forgot to put the fan splitter onto the pump
DOH
looks very tight
ten minutes swearing and cursing I gave up
gpu back out cable in then I realized I had left the fan cables too short by being a smarty pants and tucking them behind the screws, blast couldn't get the fan screws out so out came the angled screwdriver
which was the wrong size bit and I couldn't find a suitable one.
rad out for a third time fans removed and cables pulled out refitted HURAAH
then I hit a wall I don't know if it was lack of sleep watching babestation whilst building or just sheer stupidity I couldn't figure out how the fans connected
anyone see the problem here?
20 minutes later I eventually realized that that's a plastic cover to protect the pins that I needed to remove.
current state of play.
cooler mounted 357 swear words uttered and I've realized that I don't think i'll ever have enough cable ties to make a neat build
more tomorrow

Hulk themed lunch box to partner with Iron Man XD I like horizontal motherboards, shame there aren't to many out there. Nice looking build though
