[jdmR]

just wonderin, what made u choose ur mind on the asus p5q-e. im still tryin to choose between the p5q-e and a dfi dk p45.

[mattlef]

can You close the case with TRUE inside? I'm wondering because someone somewhere wrote that TRUE is too high for FT01B-W

It fits fine with my case... about around 20mm of space between the panel and the heatpipes

I love asus, and was a huge fan of some of the features, including the on board power reset..... so, lol, it was the cheapest which had those features, that could overclock well.

what kind of #'s are u getting with the board. honestly i love the color scheme of the damn board

Hey everyone.
I'm still waiting on some plexi to come in so I can finish it... but here are some of the pics of the rig 80% done.

[mattlef]

Just a couple of quick hit shots of the PSU cover installed....
more tweaking and final glamour shots comming....

Good job mate,looks sweet!

[Asulc]

I am extremely interested in purchasing this case for my next build. One thing that I would really like to know is rather the stock 180mm fans can be replaced with 120mm fans without much problem...

What are the cutouts in the PSU cover for? It almost looks like a DVD drive...haha

Your build is very nice overall. My only complaint is how the cables go into the graphics card. I realize that since you sleeved each cable individually, it is harder to tuck them away, but there must be some way to make it so that there are not quite as many cables bulging out...

it needed a rubber mallet and a little love - but it fits in VERY tightly

lol, my build has a logo (first few posts), but it didnt come out at all like I thought. I'm thinking of re-doing the drivebay cover without the logocutout.

I, personally, like the idea of the gpu cables being out... like controled mayhem lol
