Hi guys!

Looks good! Is it a Hackintosh?

Im not keep on the parallel hosing and the visable fan cables (no need there really) but the rest of the rig looks lush dude

It's not a hackintosh, no. I originally set out for it to be one but since graduating from University I don't really use OSX any more.

Yeah, I should've hidden the fan cables around the back - I think at the time I was trying to have all of the connectors at the end of the rad without any slack so I wrapped them around the fans.
I stick by the parallel loop though, purely for aesthetics - I think it looks way cleaner than a traditional serial loop.

Very nice rig mate,super tidy, you should be proud.

I'm surprised Tom didn't call you out on your OCZ psu. They are not the best brand out there to say the least, have had one blow on me before .

Didnt notice it in the specs.

Love the look of this, very clean

I've had the power supply for a couple of years now and have had no problems with it. I bought it because it was cheap at the time and it's done it's job.

And to be fair, as a build technician, I've had a fair few Corsair PSUs blow on me: no one's perfect.
