I think for now I'm just going for two loops.

There are still no chipset blocks out for my board, plus I think the three vid cards might be too much for the 120.2

So I thought you meant I was entering, when my intention was just to post a build log.

I guess I could enter, but it's really just a build. I'm not doing much modding other than cutting some holes, some sleeving, tubing and stuff.

Not like some of the stuff you guys do!

EDIT:

I just read the rules and I don't think I can be in the competition since I also posted this at XS, HWC and RRR's new forum.

Oh oops, I meant why aren't you entering. And I guess you can't because you posted elsewhere.

What's up with that rule, anyway?

I got some more work done. Up 'til 2AM with this!!!

Cable sleeving pics:

Here's where I started.

Here's what I ended up with:

I still need to do the PCIE cables. I have to order more sleeving!!!

Not perfect, but not bad for the first time ever.

I also sleeved the power switch cable.

Here's some more sleeving. SATA cables done!!

Here they are (along with a little Sunday thirst-quencher!!)

Alright, next up, I need some input.

I was planning on going with a fan filter up front with a chrome grill on top for my front panel like this:

I saw these:

The benefit being, I can remove the filter without removing the screws for the rad mounting and everything. I already get a ton of dust (just in the several weeks I was running with those filters and the chrome grills I had huge dust buildup). Having the ability to clean the filters without dismounting the front rads and the hardrives in the lower part of the case is a huge, massive bonus.

Hmmm I think I've almost talked myself into it.

Small pseudo-update. My RAM arrived today so I decided to throw everything together to see if it's all ok.

Unfortunately, my current GPU (8800 GTS G92) decided it doesn't like me. *sigh*

Here's the RAM 6GB DDR3 1600 MHz 7-8-7-20 1.65v

Messy cables alert! This is going to be PITA on the final build. I might have to mod some of those cables to make them shorter.

Together at last!

Adios, crappy Intel TIM

Not for the faint of heart. Yes... I know...it's a...a... STOCK COOLER!!!!!

All together minutes prior to the disappointment
