[2psdkryt]

Sorry, tried to post earlier but I think I failed.

Hi everyone,
I am building a system after very long time. After going through many logs and fantastic works of people in forum I also wanted to log myself in. I don't think I would do a very good job at this because but will give it a go.
Thanks to all of you for your help and opinions for choosing components. Finally got all my components. Here are the list.

MSI mpower
3770k
patriot viper 2133 16G
samsung 840pro 256G
WD green 3G
corsair 750HX
Asus DG sound card
Fractal R4
Asus VS229 ips
ASUS 7970 3G
H100i

And, since I am working on carpet, made myself very ghetto strap to work with lol..

why aren't my pictures showing up?

your sound card will not work in the MPower.. the DG is a full PCI legacy
card and the MPower doesnt have any PCI slots, just PCI-e x16 and x1
slots. you'll have to upgrade to a PCI-e card..

Bugger!

No one said anything for so long. Oh well, I'm to blame for not checking compatibility. Will do have to go and change it and gonna take weeks. Thanks a lot for letting me know. just putting every thing together tempro to check if everything posts..

nice components,looking forward to the build.

Had the define r4 initially but had to ditch it for the switch 810 for watercooling. Also you can only mount the h100i in the front of the case, there is not going to be enough clearance at the top.

someone in the forum linked me the vid for how to mount H100i on top but I may have to resolve to fit it on the side. I keep my system on all the time so I really wanted it to be quite at night. R4 is the best option right now with my budget and everything. I might look messy if I put it on the side. lets see how we go.

ive seen the roof mod before you have to make a small cut into the case the fans sit underneath and the h100 rad sits on top simular to the same roof mod needed for the midtower shinobi... but the r4 can fit it without need of modding..


shows it with off mounted screws it does fit but barly and is a knightmare for cable management >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbXiMJh3ZZA

Thanks for the advice to use imgur. Your rig looks awesome. It's clean as. Cables are done so beautifully. I might have some problems to keep my cables clean since H100i is not natively supported on top of R4. I will try my best though.

Thanks heaps. Just finished installing windows and checking all the components with stock cooler. I will have to stall my project for couple of days as I work on weekends (very long hours). I see myself getting frustro trying to manage cables. I will give it a go anyways.
cheers,
san.

I recommend all R4 users to browse through these Youtube- vids for some great advice on both the H100 issue and whole lot of other tips & tricks.

This video from Fractal Design NA (North America)

Also browse through some user-pictures and comments on Fractal Design NA`s Facebook profile for several more..

It is a tight fit but it will slide in there like a peach...

Now on to other topics...
This video also has a few good pointers - nevermind the kids attitude

And this R4 vid has several very nice pointers, watch the whole vid!

Nice kit

Thanks heaps everyone, been caught up for few days. installed and tested most of the components and going through the jungle of cable. H100i was bit of a bi**h to put in and cables are freaking everywhere.

Nice specs! looking forward to more updates

cheers,

Looks good mate!
1 Question - why is have you mounted the h100i block with the writing to the side like tha?

think its because he doesnt have room at the top for the cables.. without modding the case...
