So, it begins again!

What goodies do we have this time?

Well, everything is getting wrapped up in the lovely XSPC H2+ tower case...

Components:

Gigabyte Z87X-OC
i7 4770K
8GB GSkill TridentX 2400 C10 / 4GB GSkill RipjawsX C6 / 4GB Mushkin Blackline C6
HX1000W (will be replaced midway though the build with a 1300w EVGA unit)
Gainward Phantom GTX780 GLH Edition
240GB OCZ Agility 3
1TB Samsung F3

Water bits:

2 x HWLabs SR-1 480
EK Supremacy copper plexi *CLEAN*
EK-FC780 Jetstream
EK-FB-Z87X-OC (maybe?)
2 x XSPC D5 Bayres
2 x D5 pumps
Lamptron FC5 controller

Tubing, fittings and fans I'm a little undecided on just now, the idea I have in my head is dark with a few stand out shiny parts.

Updates to come as and when, hopefully get the first loop done by the weekend!

Oh and I HAVE A BETTER CAMERA this time, an actual camera thats not a phone, so hopefully no more **** poor lighting issues :)

Any input on colour scheme, parts to use, to change, to add etc... all welcome :)
 
Thanks all, will try get some pics up asap and hopefully do some measuring to make sure a 480 will fit in the bottom with the 5.25 bays populated!

About bloody time

Nice choice of case :D
Click to expand...

Its even nicer when a friend gives you a good deal on one ;):)




Btw, anyone that wants to see what this case looks like all packed out and looking lovely should check out whyscotty's tri sli titan build log :)


I'm thinking about gloss black tubing with orange monsoon fittings? Any thoughts on fan's?
 
Replacement, all core parts apart from the psu and some of the wc stuff from mad have been sold off, just the case left to shift but thats looking like its heading for the scrappy.

Plan to keep this case for a fair few builds now, especially as it has the time saving feature of a removable motherboard tray :D
 
Now that's what I'm talking about!!
So you opted for an Xspc chassis eh and 480 rads? Sweet!!!
I think the gloss black tubing with the orange monsoon fittings will look great. A reverse on all the orange fluid/tubing builds that are so popular atm.
You going to throw some lighting in there too?
The monsoon fittings I got are so weighty and have a great feel to them. You'll pobably need to flush them and any angle fittings out as I found some pieces of metal from the machining to in them.
Now get your rear in gear, pics and benchmarks dude
:)

if I get chance tonight I'm going to get the case out and lay out the cpu loop which will sit in the bottom section of the case as I need to check if my 480 will clash with the bayres or not.

I'm not saying no to lighting but I don't have any plans for it just yet, think I'm going with some gloss black fans too.

May put some led strips under the motherboard to try and get it to glow rather then having it fully lit up.

Hopefully some pics tonight!!
 
Yeah just after a subtle glow :)

Thanks ocz!

Just about to make a start, any tips for camera settings to use for the best quality? I'm a point and shoot man but this camera has many a setting!
