yeah, but if you look closely you'll see a hard drive, that's where my ssd and wd 640gb caviar black are, on top of the rad

and my 1tb drive is hidden behind the rad, follow the red sata cable to find that

FML my post didn't send- Few things
Make the card orange

Like the blue one voodooo did (I think it was him)
And braid the sata cable

KiiYzOo · 5 Feb 2012 at 16:14

it was voodoo, and I'm not sure if I'm going to watercool it or not

may just get some orange or white bitfenix sata cables, the only reason you can see that one is because it is too short

Here's the revised loop because of bleeding purposes and also the back for showing you the cable management and where my hard drives are

thinking about ordering an aquaero and some white leds

That build looks so awesome!

Love the stealth hard drive behind the radiator, genius.

I got my new psu a couple of days ago

I have since modded it and here it is

Before:

with it's top off

Here are the connectors for the original fan, it has a, quite literaly, rgb led fan with a switch to switch between the leds being of, green, red or blue, but I decided that since I wanted the fan to have a constant brightness on the leds, that I wouldn't splice the connections and I just took out the main fan connector along with the switch:

the main fan connector:

all done

(I will braid the fan connector in the future, but just now you can't see it at all when installed in the case

and a pic of my whole system with the new psu, a xigmatek fan in the back (I decided that I wanted some more orange in the rig, I plan on changing the front fans too) and I also took out the pull fans

Well this is a very long awaited update isn't it?

since my last post, I have gotten an i5 3570k, a corsair force 3 120gb and a silverstone strider 1Kw (my mushkin one died, then so did my old xfx)

well, there are only two pics, but it shows my rig with all these upgrades, and two of my custom bitfenix spectre/xigmatek xlf hybrid fans (outer part is the spectre, and the blades are from the xigmateks) these are in the roof exhausting, so, here you go guys

My rig in all its' glory

Looks awesome man grats on the final build

KiiYzOo · 13 Jun 2012 at 16:13

thanks

yeah, this will probably be the final version of the rig, as my next upgrade will be my case

edit - just saw a storm trooper on b grade for £67!, I've been waiting for the white model, but at that price I was crazy to let the fact that it's black put me off!!

Next you will find something else cheap you want, and something else then something else, then you will be out of pocket and on the street hugging your PC asking passerby to plug it in for you with a extra long extension cable.

KiiYzOo · 13 Jun 2012 at 17:39

lol, I was saving up for a case when my psu died, just happy that I managed to get them both for £167

cereal3 · 13 Jun 2012 at 18:08

I want to do my R3 like that now...

KiiYzOo · 13 Jun 2012 at 18:09

lol, that'll be a compliment then?

cereal3 · 13 Jun 2012 at 20:59

Yessir, white and orange coolant looks great, I have the black case with titanium front, though orange might still work in a weird way
