Had a little snag on that asus Xonar though... the power connector fell off when I went to install it....so RMA, should have the replacement tomorrow. I am currently installing the OS, I did the loop and bleeded it/leak tested it tuesday night.

Edit! Updated!!!! I only wish this case had more room to hide cables, but I think I did ok!
WOW!!!!!!! I can not believe what you have built Paul (especially in such a short time!)
I am in Awe of your talents!!!! To me this isn't just a cpu but art work !

What a clean looking sleek build!

Wow I feel like hugging it and never let go ..

That rad looks internally mounted, did you make holes on the top. Just one thing, that mobo has the 8 pin cpu slot badly placed.

Wolfbane you look happy as hell, I can imagine how much after you filled 5 pages ..

Hey Charlie if you do happen to happen more parts, you know
