So I had a community vote and it ended up getting 17 votes. Not much but I have a general idea what the community likes. It is not going to be everyones perfect or favorote build but hopefully a majority accept it.

I would like to say thank you to monsoon cooling who sponsored the fittings, tubing, and their reservoir. Monsoon is awesome and if you are looking at any sort of water cooling to look at them first. They are a small company in Texas, owned by a couple of families. I am a big fan of self owned ot smaller companies because they have to prove themselves, and Monsoon has proven their quality as nice as their bigger competitors and bested them at customer support. So please help them and take a lool and tell them Colby sent you.

I will be using their solid acrylic PETG tubing called hardline, hardline fittings, and their reservoir. Now a quick note about their hardline fittings, they are made a little different than other companies. It uses a collar that allows the compression to grab and hold the tubing in place. They have a video here if you wish to know more, http://youtu.be/tU1MoA3S30s.

On with the specs. I will be basing this build off of the X99 classifiex mounted with Natemans block set. The CPU will be a 5960x mated by a EK supremacy EVO. Using 2x 850 evo 1tb for memory and a m.2 ssd. 8x4gb of Corsair Dominator. Powering the rig is a 1600w P2 PSU. The GPU will be 3x 980ti/1080 Classifieds, whatever they name it, 4 if I can afford it. For cooling i will be doing a dual loop, both have 2x 360 radiators. 1 loop for GPUs, the other for CPU and MOBO. There was a 3 way tie on color being white/blue/red. I will be doing red as it is the opposite of blue. It also seems EVGA is using red for their classy series and blue elsewhere which is perfect for what i do. Finally it will be housed in a caselabs s8.

So as you can see i am not ready forbthis build.... buy i promised you a mini build. That is exactly what i am doing now. Quick list of specs z97 stinger+4790k+nateman block. 2x 840 pro 1tb+half m-pcie ssd, ek pe radiators, monsoon fitting,tubing, and reservoir. Powered by 1000w P2. Noticed i didnt say any gpu, because i would love a 980 hydro, but there isnt any. It is taking so long that i might wait for a 990.

Jacob you and me have a problem. I need a 980 hydro soon or I cant do my build. I would just do it myself with an evga block but you dont sell a backplate seperate. We got a issues. I need them resolved. I am joking, but i do need this part.

The z97 parts actually arrived a few days ago but I didnt have time to start the build. I havent ordered the radiators as I was having doubts about the caselabs s3. I installed the 4790k and the RAM. I also did a novice mistake and forgot to order the psu... its ordered now.




The case arrived yesterday and it came prebuilt. So i had to carry it for 40 mins in subway which was okay... because my tools still have not come from moving. I must say i love this case. But 1 issue I bought the side radiator mount... and i am not sure how to install it so if someone could help me out i would appreciate.



As you can see a 120mm fan sits in the side slot pwrfectly but the mounting bracket does not.... how is this supposed to work.... help?

Your link is not working due to the . at the end of your URL.
Your  might needs some updates as well, never did release a GTX 880Ti did they?
Looking at http://monsooncooling.com/ web site now, really cool stuff.
 
Wow! A little strong.

I am only joking, i do need that part though. Added a note about me joking in case people take it the wrong way.

As for the links, I know they are messed up. I cant fix it because i only have a mobile and everytime i try to fix it it only gets worse. Ill just remove it until it gets fixed.

Serious question anyone know much about korean electric grid? I asked my landlord/realtor/building custodian and they were not sure the outlet would support 800+ watts.

Project is on haitus. Father was attacked by an elk in the mountains. Severe gash across the skull and 3 penetrations, 2 in the stomach 1 in leg. Think he has a couple broken ribs and wrist from the throw. He is fine but medical bills are stacking up, so diverting funds to help him out. Sorry guys, I will attempt to finish the z97 build ASAP.
 
* I will still be buying natemans blocks, since they are limited time item along, hopefully I can find some good deals and buy the rest of the stuff.

Sorry to hear, but at least he is still alive. Hope he make a quick and full recovery.

He's a tough old beast, fell off a 4 wheeler earlier this year broke his forearm. He's getting up in the years though.
