PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

Very tempting, though £300 on memory is likely to end in my mrs breaking my fingers :p

Those results are damn impressive for x58!!

I'm weighing it up now between 16GB CL9 2133mhz teamgroup or 16GB CL10 2400mhz TridentX, both are the same price, decisions decisions :p
 
Minor update!

Not looking all that good for rebuild this weekend, still having some issues sorting out the cover panel :(

Though new memory and some new cables are inbound, I thought to my self "black cables with a yellow/gold tint would look nice" and while looking for cable braiding parts I found bitfenix make the exact cables I wanted.... :D

So just waiting on cables, rad stand and some panel or other ;)
 
Looking at the changes you're making i can see where you re going with this ;) I've seen the cables in another thread didnt see them anywhere to buy though.

What ram did you replace the sammys with ?
 
I have two kits that will be with me this coming week:

4x2GB G.Skill RipjawsX 2133mhz CL9
&
4x2GB Kingston HyperX 2400mhz CL11

I'll probably end up staying with the G.skill stuff - provided it plays ball with my motherboard, the Kingston stuff I know works but is generally lower quality memory that won't tune as well as the G.Skill kit :)

Should get my last order in this week with an aim for rebuild next weekend.
 
Its just to make life easier for hiding cables more then anything, means I have somewhere to hide all the excess junk thats currently tucked away behind the pump :D

I'm also going to move the top 360 along a place too so it sits further back, should make tube routing around the CPU a little easier.
 
It seems the case offers plenty of options then. How do you feel about it after using it for a while now? If you had the choice to buy again would you choose Kaaps LD, the XSPC h2 or the Phobya ?
 
If I could choose again (and had the funds!) I would probably stump up for the XSPC H2+, just something about that case that keeps pulling me back for a look :D

Remember I paid less then the price of a Switch 810 for this case too ;)

The case is 'OK'. Its solid enough anyhow, just wish Phobya had thought out the cable management a little better. Also the way the rear panel and motherboard tray are support is a pain, 3 bolts go through the motherboard tray and screw into the side panel to support it, so if I want to take the rear panel off, I have to go inside, take 3 screws out, then take another 12 screws off the outside before it comes out. Its also missing 560 support, but makes up for it with 400 (2x200) support.

If I were to start this again today, the first thing I'd do is take an angle grinder to certain parts of the case before building.
 
Hmmm thanks for the honesty. I don't really want to be cutting up a new case :confused: I really like the look of it in your pics and i have the same mobo but i might narrow it down to the LD and H2+ now. Thanks

Anyway looking forward to seeing you finish your build. Although if you're anything like me it will never truly be finished :)
 
Correct :D

Though it can stay as is (once complete) until IB-E when it will be getting some 4930 or 4960 love :cool:

All the case needs for big out of the box improvements is a plate to cover the gaping hole and a slot in the midplate to feed cables through. If they sorted this out it would be a brilliant case for the price.
 
Haha yeah, though my build isn't quite on the performance levels of scotty and kaaps multi titan hex core builds :D

It is nice to see so many different case builds lately though.
 
Righty, two sheets of 500x500 3mm thick gloss black acrylic ordered, I only need one, but they were only £10 each, so if I screw one up I have a spare!!

Also exploring putting some mechanical gauges in, one for pressure and maybe one for temp. The pressure gauge will be something like 0-20psi so the needle actually moves as all I have at the moment are 0-160psi. Perhaps even consider panel mounting them if its not too much hassle.
