You forgot to add that you needed to sacrofice some orphans to a minor deity to summon him and then trap said deity into your computer and put it to good work!

Dude thats a sick machine

[Hardline]

Love the sleeving on your wiring. Where did you get that at??

Always wanted to do water cooling just never wanted to risk it.

[Cedix]

Thanks ;)

For the sleeve, you have many shop that sell those, but the best quality product is from MDPC-X, he ship anywhere and for cheap.

Nice build!

That's way neater than any of my PC's would be. I'm terribly sloppy with cables.
