I already did that :)
I actually meant the button to like individual comments, like on the old forums :)
 
Finally update:)
So this is my final order that I've been waiting to place:)
I just post photos of main stuff as can be bother to post pics of cable ties cable clamps, and all that kind of things.


I decided to change my old his 7970 with blue PCB, to an MSI one with normal dark brown PCB:) Look much better.




Asus Essence STX:D Finally I have a proper sound card again!:)








And some black coolant:D


Decided to go black as there is gonna be a lot of white in my system, also it will look quite stealth, and I got bored of white coolant for now:)

And the last more important thing for me is, that I don't know if I should start building system now, or wait until I'll be done with all PSU cables, which my take me quite sometime... @I have EVERYTHING to start building system now except the cables that I'm sleeving. And the last thing is that my laptop decided to die about week ago, so when I'll be building my system I won't be able to use (any)computer:( So I'm not sure how to start...
 
Did some testing with STX, and I'm really impressed about that card:) I LOVE IT!
Could't test GPU yet as I cannot fit it into the system right now, as some hoes are on the way.
And I decided that I will start building this baby as soon as I will have some time free, so maybe friday and saturday evening.
 
Ok guys its time for me to strip my system up, and start putting it all together into the new one:)
I will not be able to post any live build pictures, as my laptop is dead. But I will post them all when I finish:) And there will be a lot of them( I hope so at least:D)
I will take me couple of days, since its a lot to do:)

Let me know what you think.
 
omg soooooooooo clean! Understated at it's finest right there. I have to admit, the look of the EK SLI bridge is starting to grow on me a bit. I kinda like that you allow people to view the backside of your case as well x-)

Thanks, I'm happy that you like it:) I did try to do cable management as good as I can, but for now I have to use cable extensions( still working on my sleeving, which will take me forever :D ), but anyway I will still try to make it even more tidy at the back. In my opinion EK SLI bridge looks sweet, especially in plexi version. Also now I'm starting to getting worry about my coolant choice, as I seen Tom pictures on facebook:( Hopefully my will not turn out to brown color, but if it will, I will go for normal blue or clear coolant( not pastel), but well we will see, how it goes.

Thank you dude:)


BTW, should I make some more photos and, do a new thread in rig gallery???
 
Yeah a thread in the rig gallery would be nice to tie up all the loose ends. Plus there might be still more out there who haven't seen this masterpiece just yet... and it would be a shame to deprive their eye holes like that x-)
 
In next few days, I will do Rig Gallery with some new pictures that I made.
Also I changed couple of things, well not a lot, but I have few plans for next upgrades:)
I was even thinking about 3rd 7970, but I will need new PSU, cuz I'm planning new CPU and motherboard anyway, when Haswell or Ivy Bridge-E came out.
 
Looks great raVen , That case is just plain HUGE . Great job on making it clean and tidy.
The only thing I'm not to sure about is your rez placement , But I don't know much about watercooling.
