I agree with bristol. The design is nice but colour is not so much.

Good builds don't need to be expensive.

Take your time.

Good wire routing, cable braiding etc. are far more impressive to me, than just sticking a top buck 5970 in a case and thinking its the dogs..

I've never maxxed out on hardware* to make a tidy build.

* OK, my next build inloves an expensive case

wont be much in the way of braiding, never done it before. will be another challenge in itself. have a few softer glow LED's and will be making full use of the cable management

Braiding makes a difference, but as its your first build - I'll let you off

Good luck buddy, like i said you don't need top buck hardware to make a good build.

Cheers,

Mark

Fluff is that it? :rolleyes:

Looks like its been snowing in mine...

haha it sucks when animals decide to sleep in the same room as your pc, in the summer you can see the computer seeking hairs flying towards it

I have two cats sleeping in my office and I regularly have to get the henry on the CPU cooler!

All about the filters man, and if you smoke the fluff smells like ultra-condensed tar so not nice to clean.

Look forwards to seeing how this build turns out, always good to see what can be done without spending a fortune on custom WC blocks etc.
