The name is something I just came up with.. its a white winged horse, from Greek mythology.. :)

This is not my first solo build, actually its my fourth, but I havent ever really though about the looks of a rig before, not other than picking a case I could live with.
So this is kind of a first for me, its going to watercooled on both the CPU and GPU. Also I havent modded anything before, so that is also something new to me.

I will probably be sleeving the cables individually with MDPC sleeving, in the future, probably when I get a new PSU.. :)

I dont know what else to say really, so here comes the specs and then some pictures (sorry about the quality of the pics..!)

Specs:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k
Graphics: EVGA GTX670 FTW edition
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum, 2 x 4GB, 2133mhz
SDD: 2 x Corsair Force 3 120GB
HDD: 5 drives - WD, in total 6TB
Case: Corsair T600
PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 1000w modular (would like a new one, but thats where the budget cut off..)

Watercooling:
Pump: 2 x Alphacool DC-LT 12v Ceramic Pump
Res: Alphacool DC-LT Single 5.25" Drive Bay Reservoir
Rad1: XSPC 360, 30mm thick - crossflow
Rad2: Alphacool NexXxos Monsta 240, Full copper
GPU block: EK - FC680 GTX - Acetal CSQ (+ matching backplate)
CPU block: XSPC Raystorm
Fittings: Alphacool

Fans: 7 x Noctua NF-S12B

a few things I will say though.. kinda regretting the choice of fans. chose them because they are really silent, didnt think too much about static pressure at the time, but I hope they will be ok for this!
Also, the case is awesome, just a little bummed that so many people is using them. :/

anyways here are the pics:

Forgot the res/pump in the pics, so here it is:

I have probably forgotten about something, but then you will remind me I hope.. :P
Please dont be too hard on me, im not an expert.. yet..

oh dang.. I did forget something..

I am awaiting the last shipment tomorrow. Fitting, cpu blcok hose and some other stuff

and the lighting inside will be red I think.. :)
 
Really looking forward to seeing more pics as you build your rig, please let me know how well these pumps perform, I'm thinking about getting the same pump-res-config, when I do my first watercooling loop

Thanks, just tell me if you're pleased with the noise level and what the temps are like with your config.
 
Well I wouldn't have gone for the Dominator ram as it is extremely expensive, also I would have gone with 1600mhz ram and an MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard.

I would have also gone with just one ssd, either a crucial m4 256gb or a samsung 830 256gb
 
I know they are expensive and I could have saved 40% on them, but they just look really nice and the same goes for the motherboard.. I really wanted that shield and I was willing to pay for it.. :)

I probably would have done that if I didnt already have one of the SSD's from my previous computer :)
The harddrives and PSU are also from the old PC.
 
Thanks for the comments! :)
just waiting for the rest of the stuff..

And just ordered an AX750 and alot of sleeving from MDPC-x


Sorry.. I deleted the images by mistake, so here they are again.. :)
