I actually like random's case. Also, it makes the rear exhaust GPU all that more useful, no need for a side fan in all honesty.

also nice water cooling rig ^ impressive. I might make the the jump to a custom loop rig when Haswell comes out.

@cold storm

hows the EK brand for the waterblocks and stuff? so far a friend of mine used larkooler and it's bad, imo now I'm thinking into using water cooling and after swift tech but seems it's not easy finding a complete set for that on a reasonable price >.<

that's a Koolance block that's on the 480.. as for Ek, it's the only block that will work with the xfx... After the issues that EK has had in the past over the factor of their nickle plating, and my block being a bad one, I really don't know about getting another one... But, like I said.. Ek is the only brand, besides me making a universal block set up...

Hats off to you sir for that cable management. My parents computer is in a NZXT Gamma which has basically the same interior design and it was so tough to get it looking even half as good as yours.

Hello guys, This is my everyday game cruncher:



freak ass cooler- need to change it, loud as hell and can't cope with the oc'd q6600





Don't mind the cable management, this case doesn't have the ability to hide them at all.

Even though the case doesn't really allow for proper cable management, I thought you have done a great job to make it as neat and tidy as it is, especially with a non-modular PSU.

@specks - Hahaha. Yeah, it's my favorite touch. Brings a little "serenity" to the room...if you will.

@de.das.dude - Yeah, the Lexa S. She's still my favorite NZXT case.

@SoylentJoe - Actually, I've played with the gamma, and the Lexa has a couple mm more to squeeze cables back there. Thought yes, it was a tight fit. Fortunately there isn't even a bulge on the other side. I can take some pics if you like?

Damn good day so far. Let me show the story with pics. Did almost identical build (another 3930K, RIVF + NH-D14) with friend earlier and now was time for mine.

So I heard you like hardware so we put hardware on hardware so you can overclock while you overclock!











Gief me GTX 690
