Default Finished my first build yesterday!
Yesterday I built the rig in my sig, and all is working fine I'm very happy with the new system, especially as everything worked first time without any changes needed. The only thing that went badly during the build was that I dropped the Megahalems on my toe which a) hurt quite a lot and b) bent about 4 of the fins in one corner (only a small bend though).

Its a very satisfying feeling isn't it?

I'll get some pictures up soon, on my phone at the minute. Xquisit, I used Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000s with the cooler, just hooked them up to the cpu fan and sys fan slots. I chose these because they're supposed to be the best quiet fans, and they seem to do an excellent job. Pics coming soon.
