The new system will be a fully internal watercooled system parts are as follows.... :D

Intel 80gb SSD (OS)
Western digital Green 1000gb (Storage)
Silverstone 850w PSU

Cpu watercooled (Swiftech GT)
360 Rad (Noctua U12 Fans)
18w DDC

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.....!!!!!!! :D
I am BACK....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Hello boys and girls :)
I have just returned from my holiday back to my home land (South Africa).
Before I left I got some things done on the build and also had some things delivered, but I also had a bit of a problem.
When I was testing the motherboard it decided to die on me :(
But I have another one on the way ;)
Also in the mean time I got another toy (Gigabyte X58A-OC) to play around with :D
Also had another GTX460 Top cut out as I have decided to SLI the GPU's.
This coming weekend I will be getting some parts cut out for the case.
Below are some images of the CPU waterblock and of the test rig I am running at the moment.

New Board.....!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK so I have been go for quite a long time (sorry about that)
But I have been working on the build thou :p
OK so the rampage gene III is out the window :( the third and final board gave up on me so I decided to go with something better :)
The board I decided to go with is........................<<<<<<<<<< MAXIMUS V GENE Z78 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cant decided whether or not to water cool this bad boy thou Mmmmmm, What you guys think????
Also got some new toys :) Got a new Keyboard mouse and headset all Corsair ;) and if I must say its the best £200 I have ever spent :)
Ok lets get down to the build, I have been to see my local laser cutter and I have given him a number of things I would like to have cut out for the build, which you guys and girls will see in due time.
Also got the second GPU so running test on them at the moment but I can tell you that at the moment I have 900Mhz on the core which I am really happy about.
Well thats all I have for the moment but next weekend I will post some pics of the things I had cut out :)
Until next time kids..........
Almost Finished.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello :)
Well been working on the case today, went to the laser cutter and got all the parts that I had cut out. Must say he did a really good job, will be using him on my next build ;)
Well on to the parts. Had the front plate made which I think it turned out very well. When I was about the get the front plate cut out I decided to get a new motherboard tray cut out also, this new tray runs the full length of the case and this way you will only see white inside the case which looks really good.....!!!!
After I test fitted the tray I raped it in white vinyl, I did this because its easier than painting the tray and also looks better. After I did this I fitted the front plate and also cut out the case where I need to so it would fit.
Now all that remains is to get a CPU for the motherboard and also another SSD because the one I had landed up in my Laptop lol.
Again have a look at the images and tell me what you think of the build :)
Oh ya I also wanted to add another Pic of my Test Bed showing the GTX 460 in SLI :p

The RED indicated where the cables will be placed, going to use cable holders to hold them in place so they will make nice neat lines.
