Santa came late :D

NdMk2o1o · Dec 30, 2010

So this is my first project log YAY :toast:

The rest of my build finally came today, it is the one in my specs to the left, not in my sig, but here is what it consists of:

CM Storm Sniper All Black Edition (windowed side panel not the usual mesh)

Gigabyte P55A-UD3 1156 Motherboard

i5 760 2.80ghz Quad Core

NH-U12P SE2

4GB GSkill Ripjaws 1600mhz 7.8.7.24

90GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD 285/275 MB/s read/write

OCZ 750w Fatal1ty Modular PSU

Will be using my 2x WD 500GB, my DVD Drive and my GTX 470.....

So as a teaser, here is the gear unboxed, I will be adding more pics of the build as I go and should be up and running in a couple of hours :toast:

The Board looks pretty awesome and has a quality feel considering the UD3 is the more budget aimed line up of the UD series.

Ripjaws are just smexy

And last but not least, eat my SSD biatch :laugh:

Ok, I will be adding more pics to this as I start to put the build together, so bear with me guys :toast:

So heres a few pics of the build so far, Ram in, CPU in, HSF on (this took me a while thanks to the backplate cut out being too small), PSU in and have just spent a really long time fixing up the front panel wires and the 24pin & 8pin/HSF wires, doesn't look like that much but theres a shit load of wires in this case, wanted to make sure I cleaned them up before I throw the PSU wires in.

When I was a kid I was very patient waiting for Santa to come... then there was the awkward silence as he got dressed and left.

Thanks folks, I'll be here all week!

Great system NdMk2o1o! Can't wait to see some assembly pics and benchmarks.

NdMk2o1o · Dec 30, 2010

Haha well, believe me, no ones been more inpatient than me waiting for these parts, few more pics being added right now, and the main attraction, the SSD :toast:

NdMk2o1o · Dec 30, 2010

Need some help, the fans come with a molex for power and a 2pin LED wire, what the hell do I do with this 2 pin LED wire???????????/

sneekypeet · Dec 30, 2010

what fans? case fans in the CM?

NdMk2o1o · Dec 30, 2010

fack fack fack, spent half an hour trying to figure this shit out, turns out their for optional led fans to hook upto the fan controller :banghead:

sneekypeet · Dec 30, 2010

yeah I was just gonna say that

Took me a while to wire that case up from what I remember

streetfighter 2 · Dec 30, 2010

See, this is why I learned to read-- So I could read the interviews in porn mags-- and user manuals... Mostly porn mags though.

NdMk2o1o · Dec 30, 2010

It's a SOB so far man, the backplate hole isn't big enough to fit the Noctua without removing the mobo, kinda fricken pointless imo :banghead:

though it's starting to take shape, I normally spend the most time with wire management as I could throw it together in 20 mins other wise

i had the same problem - the damn hole at the back was about 2CM off center, so i couldnt reach one corner without removing the whole damn thing.

sneekypeet · Dec 30, 2010

wait, doesnt the storm have an on/off feature for the case lighting, IE the front and top fans? I think those two get hooked to the fan controller for lighting. Or I am just talking out my bum, and I'm thinking of another case, I tend to do that too
