Hi mate, glad you like the build log so far :)
The case was worth every penny and i hope to WC summer this year :)
 
That case is looking awesome. So is the hardware :D need to order one of them huge cases now!

Looking forward to more updates :)
 
Its not much but thought I'd post some pictures of what I've done today :)

Installed the two Xeon's on the mobo
and then mounted the SR2 on to the motherboard tray. It makes life so much easier :)

Case looks great mate. I wish i had gone for the XXL Window? I have been very busy recently so not had chance to upload any pics of my finished rig, will try to get some done by the weekend. Look forward to seeing your build log as it takes shape. Cheers Glen
 
nice work so far...
that board is huge... but the case just swallows it :) i love it... looking forward to more updates
 
No offence to the HUGE SR2-board but man, that SR2 looks so cute in there xD

Looking forward to seeing how this build will turn out =)

Thanks mate, was finding it hard to decide between window size but went for XXL since the SR2 is a huge board plus i may add tube res so it would look nice through the bigger window.

Also looking forward to seeing more pics of your build :)

It's also heavy :lol:
Going to try and get the coolers mounted today hopefully :)

From far almost looks like a Micro-ATX SR2 :lol:
 
After a painstaking 2 hours got the coolers mounted :)
Took me ages to figure out that i had to take off the existing Xeon back plates and put on the supplied 1366 that were in the accessory box, completely forgot about them

Then there was the pain caused by the mounting system of the coolers, found it fiddly when doing the first cooler but got the second put quicker.
Still not bad for a £25 cooler :) i seen much worse cooler mounting.

thought that these coolers will cover a few DIMM slots but thankfully they only covered 1 for both CPU's. I'll be using the red DIMM slots for Tri-channel so using ram with tall heatsink won't be any issue at all

Cooler back plates, took me a while to figure out how to install them, instructions were not as good as they could have been.

After this, need to wait for sleeving, fan extensions and PSU cables to arrive. Then order ram in two weeks or so after i get paid.

Enjoy :)
