Hello everyone!

As a christmas present for myself I decided to get a new computer. Today I got all the components, well, almost. I still wait for my cpu cooler. I started anyway, just to see how everythingf fits in the chassi, so right now the cables look like hell. Will sleeve everything as soon I get the sleeves delivered. I hope it will be before new year. I've ordered red and black sleeves to o with the mobo and gpu. A little bit mainstream but it looks great. Anyway, here's som pics from today.

The components.

Mobo: ASUS Rampage III Extreme

CPU: Intel i7 950

GPU: PowerColor radeon HD 6970

RAM: Corsair Vengeance

PSU: OCZ ModXStream

CPU cooler (not on the pic): Cooler Master V6GT

Chassi: CM Storm Scout

PSU

Mobo

Just a quick look inside. Will update with more pics later.

Looks OK so far. Make sure to do some decent cable management though or before you know what's happened it will look like a rats nest.

i can only see two sticks so looks like dual channel lol

yeah i do like that mobo though

I bought dual, was a little bit too fast in my fingers. Will replace them next month. Hated myself when I realized I bought dual. Well well, just to buy new ones, can use the others for some other computer.

I have some serious problems with the cables. The chassi is a pure hell! Anyone with a storm scout that can give some advice?

Nice setup man!

Wish they did motherboard in different colours, so you could choose when you buy it XD

After hours and hours of work trying to get the damn ting look good I gave up. I bought a full tower chassi. So, with a new chassi (Cooler Master HAF 932)and some new RAM (triple channel this time ^^) I started all over again. Still no sleeves but will fix that later. Right now I'm just happy that it looks ok and it's alive.

Will take better pictures when I remember my camera. But here's one.

I'm not a huge fan of cooler master cases. Or cooler master's coolers, meh. Nice motherboard
