My name to the titel come from 2 things, the case will come from Nzxt. And the case will be : Switch 810

The Alpha come from the watercooling company : Alphacool, and will also be the company that will be uset to watercool my setup full out. But here is a but, will see if i go to white fittings from Bitspower.

So there has been some little change with the plan. I had gone over to Switch 810th But only because I got a great price on a MSI motherboard, MSI Big Bang Xpower II at a price which is nearly 120 pounds lower normal price.

But is being me almost in control of my plans, i will soon put a lot of pictures up of the items i have home. Plus would also go to the bottom with the new motherboard and give my personal opinion on the motherboard.
