CABLE MANAGEMENT COME AT ME!

Good news & Bad news concerning the build.

Good news: I was able to purchase some serious folding hardware :)

Bad news: The money I had set aside to buy 7990s on launch date is now gone :(

[Goatsongoats]

Here some first pictures of the Koolance box!

I have to pick up an allen wrench set as I don't have the right size to finish the installation but I'll be doing that later :)

Huge thanks to Gene for the tubing! This is easily the best quality tubing I've used, I'll put up some comparison shots later. I love dual 24v pumps :D

Got these for a nice price. I'm sure a lot of you are wondering why I went with such an old card. One because it's me, two because I don't game that often and 5870 quad fire is more than plenty for myself. Lastly, the 2GB of vram over the 1GB ref will very nice for 1440P and over. Paint is a little chipped but I plan on repainting the red accent orange anyway.

I do plan to watercool these. :D

No G-Vans product here folks! This is heavy duty, high quality FC. I wasn't even aware the FC10 had a temperature controller on it and was pleasantly surprised to see it! It also included a 2012 calendar, which I was happy and kind of bummed to see as it's almost 2013...however I flipped it over and saw that it was a 2013 calendar as well :D

Huge kudos to Spawn32 on OCN & Lamptron for sponsoring this! More to come :)

Did some rearranging, added back the plate separating the main chamber from the bottom chamber. I think this looks a LOT cleaner.

So basically to update everyone on the other forums.

My SR-2 died, so had to order a replacement which put a huge delay in the build as well as only allowing me to build one of my 2P 2011 setups

On a positive side, my new SR-2 will be here next week, as well as chips for my Z9PE-D8 WS.

I have a couple random things coming in from the DD fire sale, and a second PSU for the STH10 portion.

At least 2 sins passed on my head: greed and envy! I envy your collection of hardware!
