World record for the most amount of plugs connected to a two gang plug socket lol.

You deffinatly need to get some rattle cans to the inside of the case m8. Maybe go red to match you red accents on the outside of the case.

And if you want a decent graphics card go for a Nvidia GTX 560, or a HD6870. the HD7770 is realy a card for people who want to run low powerd items, Like in my lan rig I have one. It strungles to play things like the witcher 2 and BF3. but it works well because the lan rig doubles up as the media server in the house, So everything runs quite and at low power consumtion. i realy would not recomend the HD7770 for your main rig. Especially when you can get better for less.

I was considering pluggin another extension lead in there lol

im ot sure about the rattle cans though, will probably stick to black to not make it too vibrant, and should create few layers of it?

about 7770, I was originally going for 6870 from aria but they were discontinued few days ago

http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards+-+AMD/Radeon+HD+6870/XFX+Radeon+HD+6870+1024MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+with+FREE+Deus+Ex+Game%21+?productId=44533

just looked now and aria decided to troll me and put them back up, god dam you aria, ill be sticking to the 6870 then

unless ill have enough for 6950 then flash it to 6970, the main reason i decided to go with 7770 over 6950 is because i am going to run cf sometime soon and 7xxx series has tremendous performance increase from cf, and i was never a nvidia fan boy :3

also im considering getting a v10 or v8 instead but second hand

has potential mesh needs a touch up and like ya said maybe paint the inside black.

 

[Cyanide89]

I miss my 922 now.

But you need to paint the inside for sure... and lose the "powered by" stickers. They're tacky.

Don't post whitty comments then. I have a full time job working stupid hours, sometimes 15hr days. That's why I want to buy cables

Other than that, nice build!!
