Paul it looks excellent
Great 'puter Alan. I was really surprised at the difference the Seasonic made over my old Antec (the Antec was after all a Seasonic under the covers). No more whine and quiet as can be.
Speaking of Antec and quiet, I added an Antec TrueQuiet Pro 120mm fan to the front of the case. It is pretty quiet at 600 rpm but at 1200 it has a definite audible tone. For the advertising claims and the price, all I should hear at 1200 rpm is the air

If the pic quality isn't much I had to cut down the sizes a bit:)
Nice rig there Icit2lol!!
how do you like those CoolerMaster Megaflow 200's? I want some Red 200's.
Thank you both it took some real effort this one as I had a few teething probs with a lemon GPU and the install of the Xonar took a bit of working out plus the UEFI (very different LOL!!) But is so quick compared to the Sandy!!
Mind you the case is really really nice to work in and the wiring goes mostly behind the board and just comes through the rubber flapped holes - very convenient for a real nice appearance and tidiness (something I am not noted for LOL!!) Stacks of room back there so the wring there is not that untidy either.
No I am sold on Coolermasters my Sandy is in a Coolermaster Centurion case but that is not so good as this HAF.
The fans Jeepman are the real deal mate nice and quiet as are the blue 140's - more airflow than the 200mm - I did have a Storm in there but it was a tad noisy and I just really like the blue. I have the original red you could have if you lived next door LOL!! The red isn't bad it glows as well as the blues but I am just a blue person.
Price wise they were just fantastic.
