My First PC Build: Project Overkill!

Just flicked the switch, everything has gone well so far. Currently installing windows - although I dont know if its to late or not, but when do you choose where you want to store your documents etc?

And keep your SSD purely for os and programs?

Documents folder path can be changed at any time. Programs can also be installed anywhere you want, just do not select default option when installing them.

Amazing rig, congrats!

Finally got my replacement GTX580 today, back running SLI and did some cable management - still need to do the back panel

Got the second monitor on the way, along with longer HDMI Cables so I can move the PC off the desk

Cable management is a right pain in the butt when you got SLI cards!! TRI SLI is even bloody worse!!

It's looking great mate

Hey mate, I'm lookin at getting this case. Was wondering how you fitted the H100 onto the 200mm fans at the top? Take it theres room for push pull?

There are no 120mm fans on the other side of the rad if thats what you asking. But the phantom comes with little brackets that allow you to drop the rad down a little too allow clearance for the fans.

That make sense?

Any reason you went with x2 580's over newer cards?

I managed to pick them up brand new really cheap

I know a very late reply, but that looks really good! Love the Logitech kit too, always been a fan of them

Little update, mainly thinking how I can tidy things up. The big HDD rack in the case is never going to be fully used by myself and was curious if I could swap it out with the smaller removable one. Took a drill to the rivets and a few new holes I came up with this!

Apologies for the washed out images!

Lots of room now, airflow from front intake is a lot better now.

Thought about making the case into a reversed atx, bit of work but could turn out well. Also have a spare set of cables now from my warrantied PSU so might order some braiding.
