Any recommendations for the keyboard and mouse?



Sure bro, both the CM HAF-X and the Tt Armor+ are the same size, but the CM case offers more ways to do all your cable management, I also like the fact that the PSU is in the bottom instead of the top of the case, IMO that helps with the thermals too

Hope you get the HAF-X, you won't be disappointed



OMG, that's a realy nice rig can I ask for your advice if I ever decide to go for water cooling? If only I were not such a chicken shit when it comes to building a custom water cooling loop

Great setup man!

Finally got my TX-NR609 today, Newegg made me an offer I couldn't refuse, the receiver and two Klipsch Reference RF-52 II B speakers for $799, almost $500 off the regular price! And all with free shipping

I'm using the Audyssey DSX feature for a "front wide" setup, using 5 front speakers for vertical sound dimension, plus 2 surround speakers, you would not believe the listening experience from this setup!

I removed the speakers screens for this shot, but I leave them on all the time, looks really tight!

Please let me know what you guys think

You are gonna think I'm crazy, but do yourself a favor and try ditching the front wide setup, and bi-amping your mains instead. You won't believe the difference it makes in sound quality in the mains, especially with stereo music.

Again, for looks only I'll keep the the MB blocks out of the rig.
Neither the few inches of tubing nor the 7 angled fittings were the cause of the "slow" flow. The DCP 2.2 is just not that powerful.
Flow was good from the start from what I know now. Learning my little bits every day...

That is so not recommended!
Unless of course you like to do rebuild after rebuild after rebuild...

But you certainly know how to put a cool looking rig together!

With a bit of masking I would get that ugly brown CrossFire bridge into the same red/black theme though...

Temps are always an issue, even if looks are primarily what you are after. Good looks are pointless if your hardware overheats. You still need to monitor your temps, no ifs, ands or buts.

And he's right about tubing length. It will help a great deal.
