Ryan you have a clean wiring inside at least, the back side is alway a mess for me, lol.
Maybe I should have some Red Bull too. Your dog looks a bit suspicious about what you're doing.

Cheers chap. Yup its turned out tidier than mine inside so far and i'm shocked i got the side panel on without any force, Mine has to be held in place with force while screwing in the thumb screws :P
lol @ suspicious dog. Yeah Marley has to be by my side 24/7 when i'm doing things he's like a kid that wants to learn lols. gotta have a good nosey
Ganjiry,
Nice build and your daughter is going to be thrilled when she opens and boots this bad boy. Are you going to add the stock Corsair fan to the inside of the radiator and get a push pull effect?
Cheers chap..I don't think i will add a second fan to the H50 as it didn't make too much difference when i had it running in my rig. If the 1055t runs a hotter than i want then i'll get 2 high SP fans for it. e shall see. hopefully it won't needit though as im already using sata connectors to power the fans on the side panel lol. The mobo only has one fan header. Apart from the cpu header which i use for the pump. All fans are as intake apart from the top 140mm so aslong as that gtx460 doesn't produce too much heat it should be sound. Hopefully
Yup, the Corsar fans are loud too. Unless you daughter is a gaming maniac, she won't over heat a 1055T. If her dad gets on it though...
Yeah ent they just. I've only heard them on video's as they don't even come out of the box. The new Hydro i's though have fans that are based on the air series so much better. I wish Corsair had bought the new editions out a few months earlier as i quite like the look of Corsair Link.
She's only just really started playing proppa games well Xbox instead of wii so she's not playing any demanding games as yet. No doubt it won't be long though.
I didn't get anything done today so have got to get it done 2moz. I've been up since 2:30am so my eye's are hanging out of my head lol. Need some sleeps
Ganjiry, it looks great, congrats, and it seems you are going the extra mile on cable manegment. It looks aewsome! Welldone and hope she has 100000's of fun hours on it!
cheers folks. Yeah i've really tried with the cable management as i want it too be special for her. Plus it needs to have really good airflow as i've heard those 460's get quite hot which also means loud when it comes to nvidia. Especially stock coolers. I hurt like f*** at the min but have got to get it finished today so i get everything installed and rock solid stable so i'm not constantly having to sort problems with it.
Hopefully she appreciates the effort gone into it, i know she's really looking forward to getting it as she's told all her mates that i'm building it and tha nobody else will have one like it. I have a feeling it will sit unused by her though once the novelty wears off but atleast she'll be able to use it for anything she needs for a few years.
In the time she has it though i will try to teach her as much as poss from what i've learned here. Then when she leave's home she can upgrade it herself
It will get plenty of use from my mrs i think while the babby is at school as she likes the look of my graphics. Better than her xbox
Edit: I finally got the build finished but not got time to power it up tonight, Meeting about our servers. So i'll get windows installed tomoz.
Here's another couple of pics for ya. The camera washed the colour out of the stickers so they dont look to good. Turning the light off may of helped The Storm is pink

I'm so happy with my first build that I thought I'd share.
Cable management could be a tad better. I wish I'd spent a bit more on the case.
Also I had to face the PSU fan inwards since when facing down it was very loud plus the case does not have filters for the PSU (could it be that it chocked when facing down?). This way it is almost silent even when under load and it stays clean. :)
Ganjiry: Cool rig! Very nice gift.
