All motherboards have color coordinated Dimm slots, it is necessary to install your ram on the same channel for the memory to perform at it's best.

I'm guessing you like Bitfenix... :P

I would take it as a compliment that the guy wants to write about your build and the LAN.

I was always more of a fan of the DFI black and lime green.
Unfortunately they're gone for the consumer...
So now I'm rocking a red and black mobo and video cards with black RAM and orange lighting(well, whatever color suits my mood. NZXT Hue FTW!). I like it, as red was not a major focus. Black was, lol.
As the late, great Henry Ford said: "You can have it any color you want, as long as it's black."

Thats an optical illusion due to my "amazing" camera

If you look at the thread at the pics without the plexi window, it doesn't give that flexing look.

Is that H100 mounted or just resting on the logo under its own weight?

Mounted. Only took about 2 minutes to measure, mark, drill, and attach. Didn't even have to pull the fans.


I think it's a bit crooked though..I'll have to ream the holes a bit and mount with washers.

Hoses are just barely long enough...and too short to mount hanging from the rear, so this was the quick solution i came up with.

Handle overhangs the board edge just barely, and the H100 overhangs the front, so it is out of the way as well.


It was worse with the case assembled according to the directions form LianLi, but I flipped the handle portion around backwards(obvious), and it actually made it far better, and the cable management is easy-peasy underneath now.


I could always just remove the handle top to remove the cooler too, so then it's really open.

Silverstone Strider GOLD 750W. Fully modular(24-pin included). Sadly, I use every bloody cable anyway.





Had this one for a while now, it's the PSU that I was getting when I ripped my shoudler apart.

Yep, dual Crucial M4 128 GB drives. I also got these ones for reviews that sit in a extra cage I got out of an Antec 900:
