Afternoon,
 
Got round to finishing my X99 FTW K build in the new DG-87 case, also managed to get a i7 6850k quite cheap so went with that over a 6700k, thought I'd show off my final fit.

Had some issues with the X99 board and the USB 3 motherboard connector but nothing a quick Dremel cut couldn't cure. Replaced all the stock fans with the new magnetic levitation Corsair ones to give it a white glow, and they work quite well and are reasonably quiet.
 
I went with the 6850k because when I get some more money together I am aiming for SLI Classified 1080's or better along with an Intel 750 series PCIe SSD and will require the extra lanes the 6850k gives me
 
If you like it please give a +1 :)
 
Any questions or criticisms welcome.
