Hello fellow OC3D'ers!

The build has long been build, but I never got round to posting it here in the rig gallery. Today is the day though!

Hardware:

Corsair 600T SE
MSI Z77 MPower
i5 2500K (@4,7ghz)
ASUS GTX 660Ti
Corsair Vengeance LP 8gb 1600mhz
Samsung 840 256gb SSD
ASUS Xonar DX soundcard
Corsair AX860
Scythe Kaze Master Pro 5,25" fancontroller
Corsair AF, SP's and Enermax Cluster fans
Nzxt 2m white leds

Watercooling:

XSPC Raystorm CPU block
EK GTX670 nickel-plexi waterblock
Phobya G-Changer 240mm radiator
Alphacool 360mm full copper ST radiator
Alphacool 250mm reservoir
Alphacool D5 pump + Alphacool D5 pump top
Monsoon + Bitspower fittings (7/16)
XPSC White Tubing
(other bits and bobs, see buildlog)

Everything you see, I did myself. MDPC-X Sleeve for the cables and for the rest I used a dremel, jiggsaw, hamer, screwdriver, files, rulers, sunglasses, ... Everything happened on the kitchen or garden table. (Build log: sleeving ends and modding starts at page 8.)



Big thanks to Tom for making his 600T watercooling and modding guide video. I thought of these things before, but you saying it could be done was one of the things that made me actually do it.
Big thanks to MetallicAcid (@OCN) too. Thanks to him I knew how to light up the white panel from the PSU cover.
And of course thank you to all the people who followed and commented to the log!

This was the old watercool gpu block, it got changed two weeks later to a full cover block.
The lighting ís all white by the way. The pictures make it look blue :(

I was getting tired of seeing Black & White systems but this is nice! Very tidy and nice attention to detail. Kudos.
 
Black and white is so powerful when done well like this. Only thing I'd have preferred is white accents on the motherboard rather than yellow, but it's a minor detail :)
 
Dear god I love your build so much mate... Love how you mounted the SSD. Only thing I'd change is change the fittings on the CPU block to 45' to really use as little hose as possible :)
Anyway, great job mate, you've built yourself a rig to be proud of ;)
 
Thanks guys :D I'm proud of it! (But it's amazing how fast you want something completely different :p)

I know about the yellow accents on the motherboard >< it sticks my eyes out more and more.
 
So this is probably the last that will ever be seen of Chasing Dreams...
It has done me well, but it's time for something new.
Last update: AMD R9 290 + waterblock.

Bye!

Looking good man :). Did you change out the blue LED's cos the rig looks a lot more balanced in terms of lighting.

They were always white LED's, except the blue lights from the motherboard, which I can't change.
And they are all still in there :p it's just the lighting that's different I suppose.
