So far my only grip is the miss labeled fan wiring from the case. Also I get a cpu fan error cus I am using another cooler for it. I updated the bios hoping they might have found a way to get rid of it. The only way I read is to plug a fan in. Unfortunatley none of my fans don't fit the plug.

More to come, right now priorties have changed to getting Skyrim.

Looking good mate. How far do you sit from the T.V?

Thanks. My head is about 9 feet from the tv, pretty much the perfect distance for field of view. I'll snap some shots of what I call the captains chair, aka my recliner centered for the awesome sound.

Nice build

To get rid of the CPU fan error there is a setting in the BIOS that says something like "turn error reporting off" that will stop you from getting the error and it will boot normally, I can't remember where though so you will have to look for it. Also if you want to tidy up the fan cables on the U12p just tuck them away underneath, it's what I do with my D14 anyway

tidy up the cables and show us the final product

System is finished and cables tidied. I got photos ready to upload, meant to do it this weekend but Skyrim seemed to consume me haha. Will try to post em tonight.

I did run into some software issues but got them fixed after redoing my OS on the SSD.

Alright, here is the finished product

The length of the cables for the PSU weren't the longest, this was the best I could do in the case. It's very clean and looks awesome with all the blue lit up, I'll have to get a photo of that next. Tomorrow I'll start overclocking the CPU.....
