This case is going to be the biggest thorn in my ass for the next few weeks, the case should have been here 3 weeks ago and Ive promised it will be ready by Christmas so Im well up against it!

Customer is being kept quiet for a little while.......

So finally here we have the log of the Aries project! I got home from London yesterday and the case had finally arrived, so I got straight out in the shed and started on it.

Planned Specifications:

Oh my god. WOW.

Huge spec here. And in the single greatest case the world has ever seen too. The CM ACTS 840 is just epic. I can't rate it highly enough.

But a TTL custom one? *drroooolllssss*

Dear Santa..

Going to be bloody hard to get it all done in time tbh. But Ive written a letter for Father Xmas to see if he can loan me a couple sexy Elves /whistles innocently

gunna be a nice build there mate, what cpu are you opting to put in it?

tinytomlogan · #7 10-12-09, 03:27 PM

That is also one of the q's atm, not sure if its will be i5 or i7.

As it stands probs the 750 though.

Ghosthud1 · #8 10-12-09, 03:29 PM

would of been my personal choice tbh, a 750 is more then enough these days and its OC potencial is great, more to spend in the grfx department aswell

Looks very good Tom, can't wait to see this get going, all your stuff is pure awesomeness.

Still vaguely torn between this and the Obsidian 800D. I like the looks of the 800D better and I think it has more space, but everyone says this is a dream to work with.
