Looking forward to the case modding, don't **** it up. ;)

Subbed and eagerly awaiting future updates.

I like the mouse mod although it has a bit too sporty look for me.

Good luck!

Why the GTS?

Your mouse looks epic!
Click to expand...

the rad? i wanted to go for sleekness that takes up as little space as possible and i also figured 1 360mm rad (even a half size one) will be enough to cool the 2400 on its own and hopefully and ivy bridge cpu when they are released :)
if i went gpu later down the line i would probably go for a second loop :D
 
im going to start another build log as i've kind of derailed from the white carbon theme of it and this thread seems to have completely no interest :p
anyway here a teaser of whats to come ;)
