Just the backround hoping i can trim the rest myself with a exacto
the plan is to hopefully get some small LEDs for back lighting and allow the lights to shine though the decal

Sorry for the one day delay @OneMoar ... wanted to make sure the rig was running stable with this cpu
 
no need to be sorry at all good things come to those who wait
dam that clock speed,voltage and temps there is plenty of overhead left ..
guessed the i5 got there early ;) I had a feeling that was the hold-up

systems is in and aside from most from a few speed bumps its humming right long
@ST.o.CH
case feedback:
case is absolutely beautiful if a little cramped to work in cooler install was a challenge and I am not sure if I like the lack of a non vertical drive mount but.. cable routing was fairly easy if a bit tight behind the board tray

the use of Allen Bolts while aesthetically pleasing does make a installing stuff more effort then normally required. threaded holes on the VGA mount would be a good idea next time I dropped the bolt/nut no less then 5 times trying to get the dam thing started and finally had to hold it with pliers

power supply location could pose a problem with Crossfire and double slot GPU's the GTX 750 will starve for air if installed in the bottom slot due to the location of the PSU

luckily the reference cards have the blower intake far enough back to avoid the issue still anything with a double slot custom cooler is most likely either not gonna fit or will air-starve if installed in the bottom slot

my only real complaint is the lack of 5.25 and 3.5 Floppy drive bays I am gonna need todo some modding of my own to mount the controller panel I have on order
minor annoyances aside the case is absolutely stunning to look at with the ROG board and the red LEDS Bravo...
__________________________________________________________
cables for the GPU will be in tomorrow ill do benches then until then here is a teaser http://f.cl.ly/items/0x1y1o0S003I153M1m2m/Image 2014-10-23 at 8.18.01 PM.png
edit: corrected the problem with the reset button the wiring is reversed on the reset button for some reason with the LED connector actually being the switch and the switch connector being the LED :wtf:

Thanks for your feedback @OneMoar .

I recognize that the solution to fix the vga was due to my error in measurement and bending this area in particular, the initial holes were a bit far and because it was the last part to build on the plate that I thought, then do it, because otherwise, I had to do it all over again.

This case was not meant to Crossfire or Scalable link and the position of psu works fine "if" there is no sli/cfx as as presented:
_8214744.jpg

Or:
_8214768.jpg

In other matter lacks one inch tall.

The problem with the connectors and led´s power/reset was I have recycled pieces from an old box, sometimes you can't budget for everything and also takes time to find suitable parts on the market.
Those tiny connectors with even tiny letters are very very rare.

Thanks again for the feedback.
 
<3 more screenies comming later

Time to bump this thread up ;)

2 reasons:

1- We have a MAJOR crunching challenge coming up in just over 2 weeks... we could use some help from the community! ;)
* stay tuned for more info!
2- @OneMoar was kind enough to send back some parts from the rig he won due to some upgrading done so I'm thinking about another build in Kreij's honor. Possibly an HTPC for a member or someone a member knows who's down on their luck that could use some help. I have a GTX 750, Pentium G3258, and a few other parts left.

Thoughts?

Awesome! :toast:
Count me in for a Windows 7 license and some DDR3 (probably 4 or maybe 6GB) for it if you decide to build another :toast:
Sorry it's not more, but it's all I have spare ATM.
 
Sounds like a plan man.
