Very nice with the new PSU cables there! And damn, that rig is neat & tidy!

Well done it's a great looking rig

Corsair should reward you for that loyalty lol.

Looks sterling, wish my rig was that tidy, cant wait to see it when you have water cooled it.

 

[jackjack]

tide and clean... good job bro

Sold your GTX 580 SC and put sum EVGA GTX680... there you go "Monsta Rig'A"

 

[Stevo]

great, nice and tidy, asthetically beautifull

 

[yassarikhan786]

Well done on a fantastic looking + very tidy rig

 

[stardust]

Well I just ordered some parts for my rig what do you think?

 

[Computer crazy]

Great tidy rig and some nice hardware, I would also call myself a bit of a Corsair fan boy. Really liking the Bitfenix Spectres, I have some myself and they are silent.

Loving the list of recently ordered parts, can't wait to see pictures, it will look awesome.

i might be wrong here but wouldent it be better for cooling if you went like this..... pump, rad, gpu, rad, cpu, res, pump?

because wouldent the gpu heat up the cpu in the order you have it in there.

maximum of a 2 degree difference not worth having tubing flying all over the place

How often would a res need refill?

 

[Darklight1990]

Out of interest why not go for a dual bay res / pump? it would save space and increase air flow as far as i can tell. go res/pump, 240 rad, cpu, gpu, 200 rad then pump again?

Look what I got in the mail.
