Hello everyone!
 
It has been a while but I have been hard at work. Last night I got done with a major revamp of my system. I wanted to post it up to see what everyone thinks. I have not yet got to run my benchmarks but I will as soon as I have some time. I will also be adding wire combs, another top fan and two more sticks of RAM as soon as it all gets delivered.
 
What does everyone think? I am curious as to what light color everyone prefers, I have WAY too many options with this LED strip. I only have red and white pictured so far.

    I have no idea if this is any good or not, but now I can say I ran it, and my temps stayed low

    Thanks all. 
     
    The true hardest part of this whole thing was getting that res. to sit flush with the front face plates. I had to drill holes in the drive bay compartments that would allow it to line up just right at the same time cutting out the lower part of the bay to allow for the soft tube on the inside of the bulk head. I really didn't want to do a bulk head at first but I had some help and advice from one of my mentors Mr. Darth Beavis. So far I am very happy with the end result. Now I'm going to play around with Overclocking and see if I cant boost those benchmarks a bit.
