Hey everybody, sorry for no updates in a while ive just been so tied down with schoolwork and such and waiting for parts to get instock in different places. I will proberly be starting a new bulid log because this one just isnt very good , haha :D. The rest of the stuff for this bulid will be arriving during the week and im going to get the majority of it done over the weekend (some during the week but mostly preparation) but there will be a slight hiccup with the cable sleeving because i got a bad corsair AX 1200 and the cables are just too small to do any good cable management :( so i will be sending it back early next week for a refund. So has anybody got any suggestions on which 1kw PSU i should go for?, it must look good and have long cables and maby fully modular?.

Im also looking for a new project name because SKINT it just too confusing for some people it seems, haha?.
