Here's where my build currently stands:
450

I still have to swap out the 8-pin extension for a white one, mod a side-panel window, add interior lighting (color TBD), replace the stock status LED (white instead of bright blue), replace the GT AP13s (which are running at 7v) with 4 even quieter fans for push-pull (Possibly Enermax T.B. Silence), and replace the stock cooling at some point... possibly with an accelero hybrid once it's available.

Really I'd like to replace those extensions with some custom ones... Not sure if I want to tackle it myself or spring for the good stuff as buying them built-to-order is expensive wink.gif

The black zip tie may be replaced with a white one, but it's irrelevant as the window won't reveal it smile.gif

Asrock would be the best though.

@staryoshi

How's the GPU cooling of the PS07, especially with the air coming through the H100 first? And I'm really looking forward to how you manage a push/pull configuration with that H100 since your first pictures clearly showed that it's only possible as pull.

I'm quite torn between the TJ08-E and the PS07 because of your rig. Especially since it comes in white. laugher.gif

I was going to buy this if I did not buy the Maximus V Gene:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131833
I don't care for the look or execution of the Gigabyte board, myself, and the Maximus V Gene has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. I love it smile.gif

GPU cooling is fairly weak because I have the fans running silently. It's not too much of a concern though as I'll be switching to the Accelero Hybrid cooler soon. If you use higher speed fans on a rad or no rad at all cooling capacity should be pretty decent. I much prefer the design of the PS07 to that of the TJ08-E, personally. I like the option of 2 x 120mm fans and how the front panel was executed as a whole. The white color looks superb and it is differentiated from typical black cases, too.

I get what you mean about the 120mm fans. Plus the fan placement would really help if a second GPU were to be added. Got some AP-15s here that could be used well in that case. I'm thinking of using a Corsair H80 in the lower front fan mount so I won't have to sacrifice GPU temps. Think it's doable? I don't know a thing about modding so it's out of the question.

I didn't like the aluminum trim up front when the PS07 first came out in black. But the white one managed to make it look really nice.

Oh and btw, really nice build man. Will probably pull the trigger once the white PS07 arrives in my country.

so two people recommend the pro4-m.. curious, what makes the pro4 the better?
wow, i just checked and it is half the price of gene V eek.gif

hm. upon further checking the Fatal1ty Z77 Professional-M is $170, but the Z77 Extreme4-M is only $130. not sure the professional is worth the extra cost.
