Hi guys,

Im new to this forum and always like to show off my case. The internals are to be changed in the beginning of next year probably, so for now its mainly about the case and the cooling.

Parts:
motherboard: biostar ta890GXE
processor: phenom II x6 1090T @4.1 ghz
memory: 6gb corsair cheap ass memory (getting changed soon)
power supply: coolermaster silent pro m700w
hard drive: 2x 500gb sata-II 7.200 rpm & 60gb crucial m4 sata-III

Cooling:
2x enermax 120mm apolish fans
ek coolstream rad XT120
ek dcp2.2 pump
ekwb supreme ltx cpu block
Masterkleer 3/8 ID clear
ek ekoolant blood red

Desk stuff:
artic z2 dual monitor mount
benQ g2420HD
random 23.5 inch full HD packerd bell monitor
corsair vengeance k90
roccat savu
steelseries 7h fnatic edition
philips spa5300

ps. foto's were used for a buildlog and were made with my phone (lg optimus 2x speed) so they aren't really made to show off the final rig and they're not the best quality.

IMHO you need to work out the cable management, but at the same time i know that you don´t have a very good case for that.

Rad should have gone in the front of the case.

With WC hose you want as little as humanly possible to keep it all mega clean looking.

Cables could be fixed with zip ties and some time easily.

ok what i didn't really mention in the initial post. The build isn't completely finished. Since im changing alot of hardware around february i did not take the time to make it as clean as possible. I made it as clean as possible within the timeframe i had, since i have to use this pc daily for work i couldn't have alot of downtime.

Next to that im also still using the standard 24 pin atx cable from the power supply. I either want to sleeve it somehow, or buy a ready sleeved extension

As far as the radiator concers, i actually tried to fit it in the front but in order to do that i have to cut some stuff away from the front panel and i didn't have time for that. I also tried to fit it the other way around in the back (with the fittings towards the case) however for that i needed 45 degrees fittings which i didn't have and i did not have the time to order them.

So the ultimate goal is to completely redo the system end february, and then either mount the rad in the front but i don't think that even fits with the graphic card, or fit it the other way around in the back which already would be alot cleaner. Then I will also do a way better job on the cable management.

ps. and most of the cables are hidden behind the ssd mounting plate, so you don't really see them anyway now. But ye, it could be alot more tidy
