so I start the build process today, but still waiting on the monsoon custom fittings, (they not arrived) I was doing really well un till one snag, THE CABLES ARE TOO SHORT!!!!!! so yup on monday I am going to buy ATX and CPU extenders, little peed at myself for not thinking! but anyway here are some pics of todays progress.

A little box just for me????!!!!!



WHAT WAS IN THE BOX? well. this was.



so here is my precious motherboard. my baby my princess my world :D



Then the next delivery arrived and gave me these bad boys!




So I got busy and kept building on and this is next photo with the cpu block installed.






Then I decided to have a play with the cable management, glad that I had.





Thinking that the cables might not reach, I decided to open the PSU






AINT SHE PERRRRRDY!!! shame it is blue not green :( (going to sort that out soon!)



Little naught shot here ;)



Then I decided to Fit in the M.2.




now for some sexy pics of a LED (green) SSD! not using that ugly SATA cable, it's blue and yuk!



There she is all snugg!



Now unfortunately the ugly brother had to be put in right next to her for now!



Close up of Quazzy Modo





so here i was praying i could find a temporary fit, as you will see it will not work! i even tried the undercarriage here for the ssd see if i can shorten the route a few CM.




NO SUCH LUCK! :(





So that is it so far! so it will not be untill tuesday when I can fit this all.

THEN THIS HAPPENED!!!!!!








These are Coursair 24pin atx but some how my green beautys are more then the fitting! I do not want to use the black ones that came with the PSU, looks like i might have to return this back to Overclockers as it's not right.

Seems like you bought the ATX cable for AX series PSU and not the on for HXi.

That Lian Li desk thing is so cool, would love to buy one myself. What's the leg room like, i'm quite tall?
I'm 6ft 2in, and fits me with loads of room (but I do have adjustable chair too) so makes it easier, but even when my chair is max height I still have plenty of room.

Glad to hear it, you will not be disappointed.
:) I can't wait to use them! received an email saying that the delivery is late and wont be today, grr

yeah PCshed pointed me to the right direction lol. I forgot I changed the PSU that I wanted at the start of buying.
