Default My First Build Log
Ok, I'm finally starting my build log since everything is in and I'm starting to put it together. For those of you who didn't see my first post on all my parts, I'll relist them here.

Case - Rocketfish (rebadged Lian-Li Full Tower)
CPU - Core 2 Quad Q6600
HS - Xigmatek S1283
Mobo - eVGA 750i FTW
RAM - 4GB (2x2) G.Skill PC28000
Vid - 2x 8800 GTS Alpha Dog
HD - 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 (Raid 0)
PSU - Corsair 750TX
Fans - 5x Yate Loons
Extras - Phillips 20X DVD w/ Lightscribe
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
Sunbeam Rheobus Fan Controller
Dual 120mm Blowhole mod kit

I'll post pictures below of everything. Last night I went ahead and installed the blowhole on my case. My first case mod, and it went pretty smoothly. All in all, it took about an hour and a half (it was very tedious threading the locking hose in) but it's in there and very tight, however I wish I had painted it first. I'll probably have to come back and paint it at some point, but I'll just leave it be for the moment. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of what the case looked like before, but I'll post some pics tonight of how it looks now.

Anyways, guess that's all for now. I'll just post some pics of parts and update later. If anyone has any suggestions for ANYTHING, please tell me, because this is my first real build...

Thanks guys. Yea, I'm working on editing all my information. Maybe I'll find something that looks good. But why call the rig Somehow?

Oh yea, I plan on it. Probably won't name it until after I finish the build, though... maybe the name will become clear while I'm building it. Anyways, maybe I can take some pictures on my lunch break of my modded case and get them on here this afternoon.

Ok, here's some more pictures I took at lunch of my case after the top kit was installed. I just snapped a couple, so they're not very good quality and the side panels are still off, but it at least shows it, lol. Let me know what you think.
