I know it was painfull doesnt help im dieing form the flu.
Okay so here is where I am for now guys.
Got an 8800gt in (lol and doing a little led strip testing.
Tell me what you guys think? I might get rid and buy some cathodes i dunno or maybe go over those 4 leds near the rear fan with a perm marker lol.
One is brighter then the other ( keep in mind builds not finished awaiting new graphics card and then block lol also need to install top rad.
Apologies for the potato image quality.

Great news on getting the Ti instead 
did you get free shipping with it atleast for all the inconvenience?
As for the Leds, im never a fan of leds where you can actually see led itself, i much prefer it when they are out of sight and only the glow can be seen - Adam

I agree
also yes I did but I get free shipping all the time 
The only reason you can see those 4 is i had to take a route around the 140 lol.
Ill leave them in for now and il order something a little bit better then this strip of leds.
I put the led controler in the rear of the case because if i had mounted it in one of the pci expansion brackets it would have looked ugly requiring a molex to come through the tray and out to meet it pfft.
NZXT really thought about that one lol.
Ninja Update -
New graphics card has arrived
- Now I need to order a block for it lol.
This thing is a BEAST!
More to follow...
...Lets hope it works..

Nice one bud, in time for crimbo too, enjoy
One thing ive just realised is it requires 2x8pins and I only have 1x 8pin braided.Oh well
build is not finished untill the waterblock for this arrives anyway hehe so the 780 can sit in there and look ugly .Oh btw Nick It worked straight away lol!
Got to select a 780 ti waterblock and backplate That will be the next update hehe.
That will be the next update hehe.

Whats happening with this now? I remember you mentioned you sent the 780ti back?
Yeah just waiting for them to receive the 780 Ti -
The 290x is being processed now so I should receive a refund off that and then the 780ti aswell.
I will be purchasing 2x 290s with waterblocks seperate to fit myself.
So im looking at about a week until those arrive after two RMA's have been purchased.
Heres hoping they arrive and I dont get any black screens!

Nothing really, I just kind of realised I could get 2x 290 for not much more then the cost of my single 780ti lol.
That and I can mine!
That and I can mine!

And what about the BF4 problems??
I'm looking at getting the 290x Windforce OC
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp.../unoptimized&gclid=CLrj8sWj4rsCFZGWtAodAXYAfQ
Worried it might have the same problems as your 780ti did on bf4.
Well I should be getting mine in a week and I can tell you if i have any problems.
I dont think the 290's will have the same problems.
Im still worried about the black screening.

Nice keep us posted when you get those bad boys in mate!
According to the RMA the 290x was definitely DOA :O.
Not a compatibility issue then :O.

Hey boys
Little update after sending the 780 ti back Ive now received 2x 290's.
Here are a few pics and a video of them at full load!! OMG THEY SO LOUD!
UFFFF
Who else loves unboxing?
MMM
Put them in for a little test I ended up putting them close together as thats how they will be once the blocks are installed.
And here is the video of jets taking off.
Now I must order the blocks!!
