fsufan0025,
As well welcome to SF. Yes please on the better pictures. I like the blue leds and the side view through the large window is great. Looks like a nicely spec'd rig and that AMD should perform extremely well, also great choice to go with the sealed water cooling.

Just a new compressor which has yielded a massive improvement in the clean on my fans and fins. I will do this every 3-4 months and the dust that comes out even with filters is amazing. My temps dropped by 5-8 degrees ! Keep 'em clean boys and girls !

You can also open them in MS Paint, crop a tiny bit and save as .jpg and the file size should be smaller.

Be careful with strong compressed air on the fans if they are free spinning. Spin them to fast could damage the bearing. A Guy

I realize most people discourage the use of a vacuum to clean inside a PC, but I have been doing it for years. I have a shop vac and I found this 1-1/4" Micro Cleaning Kit - Shop-Vac Accessories mini-tool kit and it works great.
I find pulling dust and dirt out instead of blowing it out into the room to be better.

Bill's right, if you use compressed air on a fan it can exceed it rated speed and destroy itself, stick a finger in the blades so it won't spin.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

That's an excellent point and why I always use a small screw driver or my hand to stop all fans when blow them off. I always clean outside as the amount of dust stored in the case can flat amaze!

Oooh... It's so clean it's almost shiny.

I'm not normally a big fan of white or mostly-white cases, but that's one really sweet looking machine sitting there.

Very nice!

i know a couple of peeps that use a hoover and have done the whole time they've had a pc. i always tell em not too and they always answer ive done it for years n nothing has ever gone bad. then a wk later one of them lost a gtx460 to a hoover. lesson learned lol. its not worth the risk in my eyes. atleast u can get in there n do the job proppa by hand
