So, I had already built an X99 Micro 2 build with 980ti's but never got around to posting it. I ended up giving it to my oldest son and have been playing on my Z97 as of late. My #2 son decided to go all out and do an identical build and I decided to match it. 
 
After some thought and consideration I have decided to rename the rigs. As we all know Wrinvert passed a few weeks back and he was a good friend of mine. He is also the first one to welcome me to the EVGA community as well as teach me the wonders of water cooling. So in his honor my rig will be named after him and the boy will pick his own name out. From here on out my rig will be called Wrinvert.

2 EVGA X99 Micro 2 (1 in the case 1 not shown)
2 Intel i7 5820K
4 EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Gaming (Not shown because they are on the way from New EGG)
2 Thermaltake v21 Micro (1 not shown)
2 Corsair Dominator Platinuim 32gb (4x8) kits
2 Samsung 950 pro256gn PCIe NVMe M2 256gb SSD
4 Crucial MX 300 525gb SSD
1 EVGA Supernova 850 P2
1 EVGA Supernova 850 G2
4 EK-FC 1080GTX FTW GPU Waterblocks (In transit from EK)
4 EK-FC 1080GTX FTW GPU Backplates (In transit from EK)
2 EK-Supremacy MX CPU Blocks (In transit from EK)
2 EK-XRES 140 revo D5 PWM (incl. pump) (In transit from EK)
4 EK-Coolstream SE-240 Rads (In transit from EK)
EK 90 degree fittings (In transit from EK)
EK Ekoolant EVO Fluid (In transit from EK)
Primochill RevolverSX Rigid tubing fittings
1 Sound Blaster Zx (Because I am cool with onboard sound and my son is not)
10 Noctua SSO2 Bearing, Retail Cooling NF-F12 iPPC 2000 PWM Fans
2 Thermaltake LUMI Color 256C 3-Pack RGB Magnetic LED Strip
2 NZXT Grid Fan Hub
 

 
not good at waiting for everything to come in so I started piecing together sister #1
 

Time for an update:
I already built the boys real quick so here is my build log.
The Case:

 
Mobo, PSU, CPU, Memory, M2 and SSDs, and front Rad already installed:


 
Side Rad ready and installed:

Getting ready for test on air:
 

 
Bios showing all is there:

 
Running:

    It's weird, ordered these the same day as I ordered the video cards (from the egg) and these came in first... From EK, in Slovenia. The pumps and radiators which I had to end up ordering from EK as well will also be here tomorrow (the same day as the video cards).

    Waiting can be the worst part of the build; you have to hope it all arrives on time in one piece.

    Ty sir, started putting the other board together and ran into a wee little problem. Will have to modify the bolts on the waterblock itself to get it to work on the mobo. But Cards, rads and res will be here tomorrow and I will be posting updates.

    I would have loved to start putting this together today but there has been a mix up. I ordered FTW's and got regular 1080's. Wont know till later today if they will get my new ones out in time to build this weekend. So very unhappy right now. And apparently I am the 2nd person that called today with the same issue.
     
    Edit: Found out now that the 1080 FTW DTs sometimes come in 1080 boxes. We are good and now we proced.

    When you check to see that the serial numbers match on the box and card, before opening the box, just take the model number and check and see what it is
