Loving this I are. :P

In the before pic of the case I thought "Oh god no", then in the After pic I thought, "Oh right... noice!"

Well, the board finally arrived last Monday and I was delighted, however it arrived on the afternoon of the first day of my exams, so I couldn't touch it! Exams are over now, so I'm ready to get this going.

Along with the R3E I got the Samsung monitor, and the 80GB X-25M arrived a couple of weeks back.

The Canadian GP and the Germany match will take my away from this today though, but I'll be back with some updates tomorrow.

Yes, there is indeed. Here it is. :)
 
You have all the bits ready to build and you'd rather watch telly? Pfft! I don't know how you manage. :p

LOL, I know, it was a tough decision! :p The F1 was an easy choice, but I might ditch the Germany match...

Anyway, just for you Muel... :D

As I mentioned before, I just can't understand Noctua's choice of fan colour for the NH-D14. Like just look at this. What colour scheme or case could this possibly go with?

So they had to go, and a set of black Coolermaster fans took their place. They're about 700rpm faster than the Noctua fans so I'll have to monitor noise and see if I can live with it. But the black is definitely nicer than the browny-orange anyway.

Where can I download those red stickers (matt) for the HX-750?

Looks like the OP still has some of those, if you contact him, I am sure you can buy one off him.

Failing that, give me your email address and I will send you the files for printing.
 
Yep, as Diggsy mentioned, I have a few left but won't be back in the UK to ship them until the 6th of August unfortunately. If that's ok and you're interested, you can send me a message via trust.

I have completed the build and the machine is running very well. I have lots of pics to upload which will be done this weekend. I'll post up some temperatures and performance stats also for those interested. :)
 
So it only took me two years to upload them, but here's some pics of the final build. @acme15, you're responsible for me pulling the finger out! ;)

The Asus R3E eventually arrived. Aesthetically, I'm sure you'll agree it's pleasing; simple colour scheme (black/red) with some fairly sharp looking heat-sinks.

Next up. RAM fitted (G.Skill Ripjaw 2GHz), along with CPU (i7-930), coupled with the NH-D14.

Then it was mounted into the case.

Wires tidied up a bit.

Side panel on.

All done!

At this stage, I know many of the parts are dated, but it's still a very fast machine and more than capable of anything I've thrown at it. Even recent games/programs still run with ease. I monitored temps for the first while but that got old quickly as I realised I had very little to worry about, due to the more than adequate airflow throughout the case.

I must get a picture at night with all the red LED fans active - there's 7 in total; 2 x 140mm, 5 x 120mm. It looks fabulous through the side panel.
