Project Rubik's (It's a cube geddit ?)

[phcjpp]

So I thought I would kick of a thread for my new build as I did the first part last night (photos to follow tonight).


PICTURE OF THE DAY (Updated 28/6/2007)



This is a completely new build featuring all new components. I am going 680i SLI on this. So to start with a parts list. I will update this as stuff arrives. As you can see its a dual loop Iwaki powered system.

The case and pumps are on way. Various bits of the cooling have arrived. None of the components ordered as was waiting on the R600 release.

edit: All parts ordered: Bank balance lighter!
