Ignore this:
Oh look, Cleecooo's killed something... again. Help?
I've just had to format my SSD due to windows not booting properly and now I just can't get nVidia control panel to recognise either of my cards.
Windows showed the second card to be faulty in device manager:
I've taken that card out.

Project: Godfrey
That's exactly what this build is for, putting all that right. Last build was messed up horribly by a lack of research on my part on the components coupled with a mess of cables done by a competitor at the back which meant I ended up just cutting half the cables off. The HAF X wasn't really suited to watercooling and due to wkingsnorth's (Godfrey's) requirements of 5.25 devices and PCI devices, the HAF X was now to small. The only case that fitted his requirements at around £100 was the Elysium.
The plan for today is to complete the whole thing bar the watercooling, which will be done tomorrow.
Components:
i7 2600k
Asus Z68 mobo
EVGA GTX 570 2.5gb SLI
Corsair HX850
Xigmatek Elysium Black
Aquaero 5 pro
Bitfenix extensions (blue/black)
Watercooling:
D5 with EK top
EK Supreme HF Nickel Plexi CPU block
EK Nickel Plexi GTX 570 SE blocks (x2)
Phobya dual bay res
More pictures will be coming throughout the day

Long time no see Stu!
Fraid the extensions don't belong to me, they belong to my moron friend Godfrey
As for better uses, I think using them to strangle Godfrey for being such and idiot is as good as any
I do however have 2 butchered HAF Xs that will be going on the MM soon if you're interested

If you owned a ROG board you would never want anything else. Build quality and nifty features on these are absolutely stunning.
MSI and AsRocks high end mobos are lacking IMO.
