Just some small additions, added a 40mm fan to the northbridge heatsink and made an aluminium support bracket for the gpu's.

Not much added really, just some braided cables to tidy thing up a bit and a solid sli bridge.

Ok, time for some updates, new case incomming:

New rad incomming: Black Ice SR-1

Possible new res incomming:

My 2 120.2 RX rads will be going in the bottom section staggered as pictured below and the 120.4 will be going in the roof, have done some measuring and i think i can have the top rad in a push/pull config like the bottom rads, still not sure on the res, this one can house a pair of MCP355 pumps so i might go with that running them in series keeping a single loop or maybe i'll just stick with the single MCP355 i have, might also consider not mounting the pump(s) in the res at all as they can be a bit louder when not decoupled.

Ooooo, looks nice, that Antec is a little old.

How big is that new case, it looks pretty big.

Krony · 28 Aug 2011 at 21:28

It's big, (L x W x H) 650 x 220 x 720mm.

I considered that case for my new build, I am interested to see what you do with it!

Krony · 29 Aug 2011 at 17:23

Case ordered

Built up a basket with a new rad, res and some fans, fittings and tubing and screws, fan gaskets and stuff and it came to £380 lol, might have to reconsider a bit, maybe keep my current pump/res combo.
Edit: Removed the new pump top and res and got it down to £295.

W

W your getting a LD case :eek:

panyan · 29 Aug 2011 at 17:41

im glad you decided to get a new case - i dont like antecs

ReU_VOoDOo · 29 Aug 2011 at 22:19

Looks Like an awesome build...minus the sound card!!! Asus ***, lol j/k every now and then the fanboy still jumps out of me. Curious though, do you plan to add a headphone amp?? I ask because those can take much more power than what that card can produce. The sennhiesers are rated at 160Ohms. I too am glad you chose a different case,

Krony · 29 Aug 2011 at 23:34

Well the Antec 1200 has served me well for over 2 and a half years now but it's time for something a bit newer and bigger, as for the sound card i might go down the Asus Xonar route at some point, the X-Fi has decent quality sound but does lack bass.

ReU_VOoDOo · 30 Aug 2011 at 02:37

Your already drinkin champane in the video dept......

Krony · 30 Aug 2011 at 02:54

Would need a new mobo to further things in that department as far as adding a 3rd card, maybe if they start to struggle in games i might look into it

ReU_VOoDOo · 30 Aug 2011 at 20:52

I have the solution.... Take creative card, post it on e-bay. Go to ocuk and buy Asus xonar essence St/Stx depending on your PCI slot!!! Lol jk. But this is a seriously top notch build. I noticed you are jumping up to 2500x1600, what screen/screens are you going with???

Krony · 30 Aug 2011 at 21:12

Thats on the back burner atm because i decided to do the case and rad upgrades first, i was looking at the Dell U3011 but i think there is another one that is decent too but i forget the make/model.

alex2k10 · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:07

HP make a good 30" monitor around the same kind of price as the dell one and then you always have hazro.

ReU_VOoDOo · 30 Aug 2011 at 23:26

Yea that's what I was going to suggest its the HP ZR30 I have seen good deals for it refurbished and on the egg.

Krony · 2 Sep 2011 at 18:03

New rad and all the fans and tubing and stuff arrived, no camera atm so can't take any pics, case is in Austria according to the tracking so maybe monday or teusday i shall have that.

Krony · 7 Sep 2011 at 12:19

Case arrived yesterday in perfect condition, working 14:00 - 22:10 this week so not a lot of daylight to work with so i'll be just doing a few bits and some more planning and do the full transition at the weekend.
