I wanted to post pictures of my HAF X build with update. I am required to build a new PC on an $800.00 budget, but I can reuse my current parts.
It started out as the 980X build in my sig with two Asus 5870's and the H50 on a Rampage III Extreme board.
Since then I have kept the 980X and replaced the 5870's with Gigabyte 7970Ghz Edition's.
Parts ordered today.
Intel 3770K
Asus P8Z77 V-Pro
H100i
2 twin packs of Corsair SP 120 PWM fans for a P/P configuration on the H100i.
3 Corsair 200mm MegaFlow fans to replace the two in my HAF X and to get a second 200mm on top.
2 12" Kingwing Cold Cathode Ray Tube case lights.
I was stuck with my budget, and had to use Tiger Direct through the school, so I thought I would do the 3770K and hand it down to my son this fall after IB-E is released.

, me too have the same identical video card, I love this Asus EAH5870V2 video card (even if is already old) because have the two PCIe connectors pointing to the front of the case and therefore is easier to hide and cover-up this PCIe cables, this feature make also the side of the video card nice and smoother, but when the layout of the PCIe connectors point to the side of the card/case, the task of hide the cables become much much difficult to achieve
