Just waiting on the red dye and red tinted windows..then a lot of cable tidying

then i will be getting a 5850.
As you might know i was going to get a i5/p2, but i found a q6600 going for £70.

Looking really nice, been following this all the way through

red braided cables would look great, and that black fan is just itching to have red blades, or a red cowling to give contrast inside the case

Got this fan will order more to change all my fans.

I did a review on the fan's i'll be using they are really good you can read it here..

Thanks for for all the comments, this has kept me going

.

Things i've learned with this build..

1, Put plans on paper (i didn't do this

)
2, Get all materials needed for build i.e tools/ali sheets/rivets etc.
3, Next time i'll start my new build in the spring not winter, because i
was working in the shed.
4, Instead of spray paint i'll get it powder coated.

I've had great fun doing this build and look forward to doing another one next spring, i'll plan over the wintertime and get all materials needed for it. I won't be using pre-build cases this time but i will build one from scratch.

Current hardware sepc's

M/B Crosshair 4
CPU [email protected]
RAM Kingston hyperx ddr3 1600@stock
Same old hd4870..upgrading next month
Phoyba Am3 waterblock with custom loop

Thanks again for all comments..
