    Misfit,
    I love the rad in the front it makes such great sense as long as you don't need the space for an optical or other......great job !

    Thank you all for the compliments.



    According to Corsair’s instructions, the Radiator is designed to draw in cool air so it only makes sense to have it in the front and exhaust hot air out the top and back. I did loosely fit it to the top to see how it looks and personally I think it looks better at the front. But there is the option for top mount should you require the space.



    I’m not done yet. Still need sleeved power cables for the second graphics card. I am also contemplating building my first custom water loop

    Added an i7 and a Corsair H80i this afternoon. I've still got to do some work tidying up but time was against me earlier, I need a whole day really to get the cable management better and remove my HDD cage. Here are the upgrade photos for those who haven't seen them.

    Since my last post in Feb one of my case fans developed an annoying buzz that could not be rectified – suspect a faulty bearing. So I replaced them all with the Corsair AF140’s which also added a little flair. Very pleased with how they turned out. Unfortunately while I was purchasing the fans, the cashier quietly rang in an additional EVGA GTX 980 Superclock along with an EVGA SLI connecting bridge without me knowing. I did not notice the error until I got home and the store was closed. I hate it when that happens!!

    Absolutely brilliant job. Fantastic looking rig.

    Hello guys, how are you doing?
    Long time no see...
    I haven't been around for quite a while but it feels like I never left. When I gather the nerve I´ll tell you the whole story.

    Meanwhile, here's the last rig we delivered.
    It doesn't look like much aesthetically or design wise, but specs wise I believe it is the meanest gaming rig we've done so far.

    - I7 5960X
    - Asus Rampage V Extreme
    - 16GB 4x4 Corsair Dominator Platinum 2666MHz CL15
    - 2x Asus GTX 980 Strix OC
    - NZXT Hale92 V2 1200W (I really like this PSU)
    - NZXT Phantom 630 Windowed Edition Matte Black
    - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
    - 8TB 4x2GB WD Black RAID 10
    - XSPC Raystorm, XSPC EX 360, XSPC Dual Bay Res, Laing D5 PWM, XSPC & Enzotech connectors, XSPC High Flex tubing, ID Cooling fans, Mayhems XT-1 coolant.

    A mean beast, seriously. 4000Pts Unigine 4.0 with no OC on the cards or CPU.

    I hope you like it.

    As always, criticism and ideas that we can use on our next builds are more than welcome.

    Cheers,

    Juan

    Hey Lady Fitz, how are you doing?
    Yeah, it´s been a while... But better late than never, right?
    Any news from the desert? Any upgrades? Still working you magic with cables?
