My new CoolerMaster HAF-X Gaming Rig

[VexxedVTS]

Hi guys, just finished the early steps of building my rig, so I'll post some pictures.

The back is a mess I know

I forgot to get some shots of the case it self but they'll follow tomorrow.

I have some big plans for this that include watercooling with some very nice blocks and a custom designed case that is being designed on Autocad (with the help of my dad) and some parts machined at my dads work. Would also like to braid the cable black and a dark red if I can find any at that colour.

I aim to have the case made and built in around 4 months(just going to be done in spare time) and the watercooling will be done as soon as I can source the parts.

Well adding to the colour scheme I've just installed some red cold cathodes and just ordered a MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone

Looking at getting an SSD as a boot drive and getting another 500GB.
Spec
Motherboard: Asus Rampage 3 Extreme
CPU: Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz @ 4.20GHz
RAM: Corsair XMS3 (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel
Cooler: Corsair H50
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB

Update:
Well just a quick update, well to start off the colour scheme I've installed 2 red cold cathodes.


The cables at the top need sorting out




The graphics card will be here tomorrow

The cables are a mess cause I ran out of cable ties and it was a quick set up as watercooling will be put in once I recieve my parts from BitsPower. Yea it's completely stable at that speed, is pushed to the max IMO.

No they last longer than HDD as they have no moving parts. There really expensive though, seen a PCI one for just over £500 for 420GB i think
