You are going to have some serious fun with that.
Neat build, nice job. Missing a few power cables from the last pic

But thats where it gets messy.
Really like the look of the Extreme4 Gen 3!!

Yeah I kind of stopped taking photos after that point

Will have to get a picture of the finished product up so that people can see the lets say adequate cable management

damn ! That looks the sex. The GPU and RAM really compliment the board

I don't like the case but that's just me

Looks great for a first build nice and tidy! Now show it who's boss and clock it to high heaven

Nice, I am a massive fan of that case!

Updated original post with a completed build

Only criticism apart from the case ...

Can you not mount the rad and fans outside the chassis ? - It looks ugly

awinchurch · 11 Aug 2011 at 23:01

Its a sealed unit mate. Not sure it can be taken apart.

It can, but it voids your warranty

Ah forget that then!!

Yeah well as I said - It's just me... Lots of recommendations for it here so I'm not in any position to stand up against it

Mind you the Kuhler has given me a spanking good idea ...

One of the guys from OcUK did that with a h50 i think.

Crickey, that's a nice rig.

jennidc · 11 Aug 2011 at 23:31

Nice build. In fact it's extremely similar to what I'm planning.

awinchurch · 12 Aug 2011 at 22:33

Well so far I can highly recommend it
