I've been taking pics as I receive the parts.. so enjoy!
Thermaltake Core V21. This is a very cool little cube case, you can mount any and every thing any which way.. lol I really like it!!
NOTE: I added the two red fans.
MSi Z97M Gaming. Awesome looking board!
Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX High Performance, Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 and Innovation Cooling Diamond "7 Carat".
Well Protected.. three (3) bubble packs!! lol I've had fairly good luck with both FedEx and UPS, I've never received a beat up box!?
The memory and thermal compound were just laying next to the cooler in the bottom of the box. This looks like it will match the motherboard quite well.

Speaking of custom backplates.. here's the one I had made for my Creative X-FI Titanium a year or so ago, it turned out quite well! It's Brushed Black Anodized Aluminum that has been laser etched. There are a couple thermal pads on the backplate to help cool and protect the card against electrical shorts. The one I'm having made for the M.2 drive will be deep laser etched and colored filled with red epoxy, it too, will use thermal pads to help cool it as well.
Thanks For Looking, Phil B.
