Status: Shelved for a little while
This is my first formal build, as well as my first attempt at sleeving. I'm in this build for the long haul -- I don't expect to have all the parts until Christmas. Hopefully I can keep you entertained until then!
The Plan:
- Full-view side panel window
- 100% sleeved cables
- CPU-, GPU-, and, if possible, RAM-watercooling
- Custom lighting
The Parts
- CPU: Intel i5 3570k (received)
- Mobo: ASRock Z77E-ITX (received)
- GPU: XFX "Double D" Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition (received)
- RAM: 2x4gb Corsair Dominator (received)
- SSD: ADATA Premier Pro SP900 128gb (received)
- PSU: Silverstone 450W SFX Gold Modular (received)
- Case: Bitfenix Prodigy (Arctic White) (received)
Watercooling
In lieu of a full loop (not enough money around), I bought a used Corsair H100 off of the OCN Marketplace and fixed the paint up. Hopefully the big-boy loop will come next year.
