Well I really wanted to finish my aluminum case but I don't have any free time to work on it since AP exams are coming soon and its school crunch time before college. Two nights ago my dad randomly told me he'd buy me a new case and some parts because I've been getting good grades, so this is what I picked up:
Dual 12" Logisys UV cathodes
3x Yate Loon High Speed blue LED fans
10ft Primochill Pro Lrt 7/16" UV Blue
2x Enxotech 1/2" HF Barbs
UV Blue ployprop. Wye fitting
Enzotech chrome fill port + fitting
Kingston HyperX Black frame + Blue LED fan RAM cooler
White NZXT Phantom
Half came from Jab-Tech (some of the best prices around but not much in stock) and the other half came from trusty NewEgg. Here's the parts that I have right now that'll be going into it:
PhenomII 1090T BE
ASUS M4A88TD-E EVO/USB3
2x 2GB Kingston HyperX Blu
HIS HD6870 1GB
Thermaltake Tough Power XT750 modular
Some HDD's and an ODD
And for cooling, I'll be using the beasty lapped Sapphire Rev.A cpu block, matching enzotech NB block, and possibly the matching universal enzotech GPU block. The coolest part of this build will be the MCR320-QP triple rad, we shall see how well it fits up top
Edit: I know the universal block will mount just fine on my 6870, but there's hardly any room for ramsinks above the block where the fittings are. The mem placement on the 6870 is really weird, and the VRM's are in the most inconvenient orientation too. I got the gpu block for free so its not a big deal if I can't use it... but I'd rather not spend $100 on a fc block. Any ideas? I was thinking I could cut up the reference cooler and make something... but I don't want to incase I need to RMA.
