Whats wrong. It's white? You are not talking about the drive to the right? if so that is not staying... Stuff needs to come.
Ahh yes do not despair, I'm going to sort that soon and as soon as stuff gets here.
Nope only left it to see if it would post. I still don't have a cpu cooler or the extra storage in there. still waiting on parts. so many parts.
13 days is timely, not late
Besides, I had to work through a week ban and not faffing about on forums at work given I've not been at work for 3 weeks.
I will let you off
I have masked up more of the case for cutting and i'm pretty sure I should be seeing more bits over the next few days. I need some longer screws and bolts but really I need to see what the cover plates look like and clearance on radiators when that gets here before I decide how the mount will look for the drives, i'm also thinking I'll have 4x500gb 2.5" drives in raid only because I already have the drives and think it will look cool.
Thank you for answering the RAID question.
And that bad boy is looking super cool! You can't notice the riser cable with it like that either! I especially like the ram as well! Thank you!
That was 2 fans up front, one up top and one in the back. I am not sure on the final fan configuration until I can get the water cooling in. Hopefully that won't take too long as there isn't much more to do now.
I love it how the purple and white on the memory looks like blue-violet. The memory looks a different colour at the bottom.
Sweet move!
The memory cant be controlled yet so that was at an opportune moment when it was doing its rainbow light up thing it does. Not sure what the scheme wil be when it is built. Ill at least be able to set it up in the week and wait for the cooling, just looking at what monitor I want atm so the good lady can have my samsung.
Cheers dude. We shall see what it looks like when it is done. Still the hard bit to go.
You giving her a Samsung monitor? What!lucky lady!
It's 34", what lady wouldn't love that?
Ohhhh...
Do you see what I am planning? The question is do I wire up one of the internal usb headers to power a load of LED's behind these. Would mean a custom circuit but could be fun. So long as I can find a 5v I have everything I need.

It's the same circuit I am using anyway so I have all the parts apart from some clear LEDs. If I destroy a header for an old case or something i can wire LEDs directly off of internal USB headers to make it really clean.
I think the thing to do is give it a test... just need some white/purple LEDs
I agree! I think that black cases also show the dust more easily. I'm debating what colour P600S case to get as well. The Mrs says not white, so that leave black or gunmetal grey, I really can't decided. Black is easy to see dust according to my current case and I'm not sure if grey will look outdated in a few years time. Decision decision....
Ignore the mrs and get the white one. Job done. Get spray paint and literally spray everything! Tell the mrs to stay well back and watch the magic happen... Take 3 months doing it, Divorce!
Finally tracking on the water cooling stuff:
It's still got to go in a plane, get through customs and then get to me. I'm thinking a week or more at least. Cant wait to see what we get. Right now it's all a bit of a mystery.

Yay good news
Can't wait for more updates to the build
We are only a couple of weeks in and if everything gets here in a month or gets here at all and works on a build like this then you are doing ok. Right now we are smashing it!
I just went bananas and bought 2 new mesh chairs, a desk to match mine, 2 model O white mice, a new monitor for me so the wife can have the 34" curved samsung UW.
Thats me done. I've spent all the money. That little lot cost an absolute fortune and my wallet is near empty.
I even took somewhat of a downgrade and purchased from a vendor i would never normally purchase from (msi, because they suck donkey balls in a massive way for generally everything) as they have a 34" 100hz 3440x1440 screen that is almost as good as the samsung and will do for me for now.

Did some more dremel work. Gotta clean up the lines and give it a coat of white but you get the idea. Will get out the metal files tomorrow and clean it up.
I am also thinking that the black bit on the fans has to also go purple. @Illuminist is that better with those drives now?
