hey Snef, I've learned long ago ... two ways to keep her happy.

1) Buy her exactly what she wants.
2) Don't tell her exactly what you buy yourself.

keep up the good work buddy.

[Father Fuzzy]

I'm a bit "tardy to the party", but I drooled over your wife's build and somehow forgot to check YOURS out!! Nicely done!

[MRDcanadian]

very nice. good job done there sir. looking forward to the new pics. 3x7970 is crazy. i have a 3820 and two oc'ed 69502g edition and i have an overall score of 8939 in 3dmark11 so you will definitely bust the 10K no problems. loved your wife build so clean.

Hi

another little update


waiting for some cable and custom backplate from coldzero

but start working on rig

very sorry for pic qualiy, only have an iphone


fisrt nned to remove all parts from the case



start installing waterblock on cpu, ream and GPU



leak test but clean the loop to remove any feser red coolant, i flushed 4 time, the 5th time, the distilled water stay clear, same thing on rad, but i flushed 6 time



the redlightning effect with all block light up



i thinks its to much red, i will install again my withe NZXT led and kep only waterblock, rear ant top fan with red led
but the red led strip will stay in case, i installed a power sitch, only flip it if i need red effect



now 2 little thing i dont like with XSPC waterblock

1. the ram block, the acrylic is not fix on block, xspc installed 2 side tape but its not enough
2. LED hole, on the raystorm the hole is just enough, you can put 3mm led and it stay, no need to put any glue, but the ram block and Razor block, all holes are little bit to large
need to put some glue

i use a little dot of "Super-glue" on all led and use little dot on each end or ram block

[Hooded]

You've got that looking mighty sweet with the red right now.
I found the same issues with my XSPC Ram blocks. I just used a little drop of clear silicon to hold LED's and plastic cove to block.
