Ever since I started building PCs I've wanted to do a black and green themed one. However, only red and blue can be found in local stores

so with Yorksfield a little under 3 months away it gives me an excuse to order all green parts.
For my case I'll be using a Lian-Li 7B Plus II w/ manufacturer window
Which should be arriving any minute now

My plan is to strip the paint and then have it powder coated. As well as drill the necessary water cooling holes to transfer my current system over.

Here are some pics of the drives I've been sitting on since Christmas.

Ordered Abit IP35 Pro, Silverstone DA750, and two G.Skill 2x2gb PC2 8000 (8gb total) from newegg should be arriving on Thursday. All thats left are some lights, some screws, possibly a fan controller, new water tubing, and the oh so sweet Q9450

Sorry for the TOTAL lack of updates this past month its been a busy month and I decided I better let the thread rest while the time passes for the Q9450. Now that Tankguys is finally receiving the processors next week I felt I better update with all the pictures I've taken since, so enjoy.
Pictures on page 3, since last update I've bought UV lights, Fesser One Acid Green UV coolant, 8' of Clearflex 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing, 8 black Lian Li thumb screws and a 8800GTS 512

"The Cubed Quad" reflects the components in the PC itself, four hard drives, four sticks of 2gb memory, and of course the quad core processor. Now if only I could afford quad SLI.
