My 1st attempt at a build. The front bottom fan was broken so I am waiting on a replacement due soon. Apart from that I'm quite chuffed with everything else

Really pleased with it so far and has good features for the money.
Switched on first time which was a bonus for my 1st attempt. It easily overclocked to 4.8 though I run it at 4.4Mhz 24/7 as that's more than enough!
I came from a Q6000 @3.0Mhz so I can definately notice an improvement (though that may be down to the SSD),

In terms of boot time and the "snappiness" at which an OS and applications work, an SSD makes a really noticable difference
. When my first SSD failed and I went back to my raid array for a boot drive whilst waiting for Crucial to sort out my RMA, everything felt considerably less responsive.I'm a fan of the FT02 by the way, I have one myself... did you have as much fun as I did cramming all the cables behind the motherboard tray?
Maximumsi2, I shudder when I see that cooler like that... I always worried about my Thermaltake one. I have gone H50->H70 since. Great looking build though
Antihero, sweet looking rig. Are you plannng to cover it or is it being out not a problem for you? Love that soundcard. Just got one too

I'm not going to bother covering it as it's basically on the test bench to allow for quick swapping of parts, and anyone that comes into the room has been warned not to touch or drink/eat near it
The sound card is amazing, I must have had mine 3+ years now and it's still going strong.

Yep, it's a Dimastech Bench/Test Table Easy V2.5. Loving it so far!

Yeah, just ended up spreading the cables out as much as possible and using cable ties. It doesn't look tidy behind there but then I can't see it so it doesn't worry me.

@AntiHeroUK thats a clean bench setup you have there, and even the cable management is good !
That last picture shows how big that CPU cooler really is

Aye it's definitely on the large side, in fact instead of mounting the cooler on to the motherboard, it was the other way round
Had to set the cooler upside down and mount the motherboard on top.
