Default [Project] The Possum Van

So this build will be red themed (with EVGA prominent) so I was trying to come up with a name that would contain 'red' in it. The answer of course was The Possum Van.

I just ordered the parts for my dad's new i7 build, here's the list for you to check out:

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Pu...umber=10792672

I will be ordering the watercooling after I do some measurements on the case, and do some other planning. Mods will include:

1) Paint the inside of the case black
2) Full side panel window
3) UV Red theme
4) Completely sleeve every cable of the PSU
5) Anything else that I come up with

I will be taking a plethora of pictures, and will also be taking videos of the prominent parts of the mods/build. As parts arrive and I start putting things together I will add links here in the OP to keep things organized.

See ya in a few days with an update!

*anticipating*

The case arrived today, but there are some manufacturing defects that I'm not willing to tolerate, so I'll be ordering a new one and sending this one back (Newegg is awesome btw). I won't be starting the build until after next week anyway, so it's no biggie. Other hardware (minus watercooling) will be showing up Friday.
