So all my IB stuff got here a little earlier than anticipated but oh well :D I will be building asap now... first I need a screw driver.. But here's some pictures... of all the beautiful boxes everything comes in xD

Sad to say I got no Haribo... but I suppose you can't have everything :)

Just missing my lowprofile RAM which I ordered separately as I forgot to do so when I ordered everything else :p (processor is 3770k i7 obviously ^.^)

Aw man thats a bit harsh... I love OCUk they don't always have to let me know they love me to. Rofl. Im going to be itching to build it now.. but I can't till I get my LP RAM :/ the Alphenfohn weighs so much rofl.. really didn't expect it to be so big xD
 
Knowing how big the AX750 box is... that CM Storm Trooper box is MAHOOOSIVE.

Nice parts though.

Seeing as your SSD is still ??? I'd take a look at today only :p

Aha my SSD unfortunately is ??? till June D: got my dead old HDD however to hold me through... thankfully the Asrock motherboards have IDE connecters :p
 
No Haribo is not on.

Dw. Ill put a complaint into customer service under "So my order arrived... everything was perfect... BUT you forgot the Haribo... Son I am disappoint" :p

Lovely when new kits arrives.. I find it a shame that it always looks the same when assembled though ..

True... but this is a hugeeeee step in looks and performance for me xD the CM Storm Trooper towers over my Gigabyte Poseiden case :P It looks so nice xD
 
Nice to see it all coming together for you. Don`t forget, plenty of pics.
And get down to B&Q and get that srewdriver.

I know xD I just unboxed pretty much everything... it looks so nice :) (Im going to cheat on pics... and not take any when I have the IDE jumpers in for my HDD... cause well.. who wants to admit to having legacys ribbons in their new build D: )

Actually having the IDE does make the mobo more "special". Plenty of people are forced into buying sata HDDs because the budget mobos no longer support IDE.

You can get rounded IDE cables in various colours too. If the IDE HDD is a decent size, I don't see the harm of using it for extra storage.

Nice selection of kit btw, look forward to seeing it all come together. Any questions or problems come build day, you know where to find us :)

Currently mid build as we speak... and I seem to have lost my CM Storm Trooper manual oopsy ^.^
 
Also one of the screw holes for my AX750 doesn't quite line up with the CM Storm Troopers provided holes for PSU screws shouldn't matter should it? It's pretty secure with the 3 screws Ive put in.
 
So after a couple of hours of connecting up the motherboard and cable tidying... this is the result.


My some what messy cable management:
