Mebbe I'm just picky but i'd want a 240mm RAD for GPU and CPU.??

Looks good apart from that - shouldbe good stuff :)

thinking about another 120mm, yes, but i was going to see how this went first.

exactly what i planned on. I would probobly add another 120mm in the loop in the front of my case if my temps arent up to par.
 
Nice work so far mate.

Feel free to make your pics a little bigger (our upload facility is fine to use for that), there a bit small to see :)

yeah, well i made these ones small real quick i was in a hurry, i didnt think people would like them @ 1600x1200 :). Next pics will be better, i promise ;)
 
Your welcome for choosing & configuring parts, providing extra screws, and doing most of the setup dan ;).

Lookin good.
 
Looks fantastic mate, gratz on the nice new build.

Only thing i would suggest would be a bit more WM and some black cable sleeving on the bare wires. Other than, fantastic job!

wiring redone as best as i can for the time being. Did it due to popular demand, hehe.:wavey:

yhr PCI-E wire kills the whole thing, its too short to run around the mobo, its really strting to aggrivate me. Those wires you see on top are also taken care of, so it does look better, but the stupid pci-e cable is getting to me.

You left out your CDRom's eh? :)

yeah still figuring out the best way to run my IDE. but its in there now ans its hidden pretty well. I also cleaned up the wires above and below the motherboard, and the sata cables. So everything is just dandy except the stupid, not ong enough pci-e cable. yay! i am very angry :)
