Thanks bud
Cheers mateNice build m8. LED's and braided cables are next on my agenda now.
The LED's look *soooo* much better 'in person' though. The picture really does it no justice. I'll get a night time shot for you somewhen Project: Renati Niveus

Dark pics. They are terrible. My phone camera does not fare well in the day let alone in the dark. 
Thanks
it is a nice case, and i really like the white LED's too, I wasn't sure if I would before I switched it on. I will probably exhaust air out so that I don't have to clean the rad as often, but we'll see
Annoyingly it may arrive sooner than I thought meaning that I wasted some TIM on the Kuhler, but never mind.
Look what turned up!
Looks like we can get this finished sooner than expected.

Here are some pictures of the unit I received. Everything appears to be in impeccable condition, in-fact I wouldn't question it's condition if I were told it was brand new.
The pictures aren't the best, but I tried my hardest to battle with the lameness of my phone camera.

Plugged a monitor in for the first time (I know, i'm mad!)
Everything is reporting correctly, very happy bunny!

Seems one of the hard drives is on its way out, after the system is on for a short while it starts to make a worrying buzzing noise.
I assume its the 6+ year old 320GB Barracuda. I hope it isnt my 2 year old 1TB F3

Slacker!
I would call you a douchenozzle, but I got a warning for calling you a douchenozzle last time...
*shakes fist*
Well I researched this for my PC case and it turned out to be better to draw in cooler air from the room and then exhaust from the rear. To solve the dusty rad problem I just bought some magnetic Silverstone fan filters.
I had one of those silverstone fan filters. Used it for a week, everything went right through it, so i threw it in the bin and bought a demciflex one
Weird. I have had two of them for a year now and the inside of my PC is almost spotless when I do my 6 monthly clean. I'm at a loss as to why your experience should be different from mine. Unless of course you don't own a vacuum cleaner !!!!
The one I got looked like a sieve. It's no wonder it didnt work properly, everything went through it and stuck on the rad. My demciflex one is a much much finer filter with a far finer mesh, and it does a good job.
Maybe your house is more dust free than mine
Plus my PC is on 24/7
Ahh, that explains everything. They clearly made a special one for you with a gaping mesh while at the same time sending me two with ultra fine dust excluding meshes. Glad we cleared that up.
Maybe they changed how they make them?
Build is complete, overclock is done, mate coming round tomorrow to take the final pictures of phase 2 (since phase 1 got skipped )
)
Looking good mate
Put the picture's in the spoiler nothing worse wanting to read through a project log and seeing the finished piece previously...
Cheers
And fair point.
Dude, that is looking awesome. Your attention to details is second to none. Need a bigger side window though
Love the blue LED's there. Did you use the NZXT strips?
Thanks
I'm personally happy with the side window as it is.
And yes, I have a single 2M NZXT white LED kit as Hyb's said.
Oh, I forgot to mention that sadly, the 320GB Seagate OSX drive is no longer with us.
So I suppose I ought look for another one really.

Nearly killed this the other day. I changed the fans in the top without turning the system off as it was busy downloading something and I needed to send off the top fans.
I took all 8 screws out, and while I was looking for the other fans I suddenly remembered that the only thing holding the radiator to the roof of the case was 8 slightly warm rubber washers. You should have seen my face!
Luckily it stayed stuck there.

The high's and the low's of working on your own equipment, we have all been there mate
My heart stopped for a moment
