Lovin it. Although I do regret getting the 680 as I got it about a month before the GTX7xx series came out. I mean, the GPU is great, but I could have saved so much money.
You live and you learn.

Damn to much $$$ for me although I would like to do a custom CPU loop at some point just for fun. Can you see that lower left drive cage through the window or you just want it out of the way so the tubing looks more "natural" for lack of a better word.
You can see both cages through the window, either on the bottom or hanging from the drive bay up top. So, yeah I'm removing them for visuals and my plans on the front rad. I still haven't decided what I want to do for HD's but I'm really starting to lean more towards the Black 2TB with a conversion mount (it is the easiest and try selling my OCZ on eBay) for the bottom bay because even with the rad/fan the bottom will have plenty of clearance for the drive. Then setup the front 280 for a thicker rad and in push/pull because of the ample room there.
Everytime you post something stupid, a baby gets punched in the face. Please be smart, for the children.

Pumaxcs would know better than I do.

How are those 780Ti's treating you in SLI? I've been wanting to upgrade but I think I'll wait for the 800's.
Also, your picture reminds me of how badly I need a water cooling solution as well.
I wish. I have a single 780, quite nice but not that. I was googling pictures of the case so I could make something like that but when I found it I realised he did all the hard work for me. I got the 780 for now but when I get the loop I was going to sell the 780 and get an 800 SLI. Then if budget/performance allows I was also going to look into the Intel Broadwell but thats really an off chance.

Is Broadwell the chip that supports DDR4? Thats my next major investment after a new GPU. Only when there are high enough densities though.
Well since I was running low on space in my Boot Drive (Kingston Hyperx 120gb) and was already full on my portable 500gb HDD I decided to give myself an early B-day present and buy a Corsair Force GS 240gb. Should be good for all the games I plan to download over time. Really excited to see how this bad boy runs .

I need sleeved PSU cable extensions. White, black, blue, or red? I was thinking white would be nice since it would stand out but not clash with my mobo, but I'm starting to think that red might look sweet. Also planning on getting black or white SATA cables and obviously tidying all of the cables up once I can get some extensions.

I wish orange extensions were an option because they would look sick against the blue motherboard, but sadly they only seem to be mass produced in red, white, blue, and black. I'm going to do some homework to see if I can find affordable ones in orange, but I'm not sure if it will happen. White seems like the ticket.
