Thought I would share some specs and pictures of my new computer build maybe some members are interested to see. I could not utilize EVGa products as I wanted to do, I am located in the Netherlands and the suppliers here are far and few and the products they carry are rarely in stock unfortunately.. I waited months for an EVGA 1300w PSU with no luck. I do have an EVGA GTX 780TI on it's way from America right now though.
 
Specifications
Case: CoolerMaster HAF XB
Power Supply: 1500Watt SilverStone Strider
Processor: Intel i7 4770k - Currently overclocked to 4.1Ghz from 3.5Ghz
Processor Cooling: CoolerMaster Nepton 280l
Memory: 16 GB's DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 2400Mhz
Motherboard: Asus Z87 Sabertooth
Video Cards: Two EVGA GTX 570 HD
Boot Drive: Adata 128GB SSD 550MB/s Write - 520MB/s Read
Mass Storage: Two Western Digital Green 2TB 7200RPM
 
The GTX 570's are from my last build and only temporary.. I'm waiting on a GTX 780 to arrive from the U.S.A. to replace them with. Also have ordered a windowed top panel to replace the Cooler Master HAF XB's mesh top panel.. not a necessity but nice to be able to see the hardware. Also have PCI-E power adapters with 90* angled connectors to plug into the video cards, this will give me room to add two more 140MM fans to the open side of the radiator to create a push/pull setup to further lower the temperatures of the processor. I'm really hoping to safely get above 4.3Ghz when all is said and done as these processor run extremely hot.
 
Anyway, thanks for looking and let me know what you think~

    That's the link, I don't know about auto-link. I figured I'd missed a place to add a link to it in my control panel settings or something.

    its probably not showing cause you only have 7 forum posts, links are blocks completely on new members with a low number of posts, and I guess they block the avatar mod rigs link as well.

    Here's a couple pictures of the replacement top panel. My HAF was the EVO version which comes with the mesh top, I decided to replace it with the window top version (and like it much better).

    Looks great and glad you are happy but Now you just turned it into a heat Box, the meshtop is thier for a reason, so you can put a 200 MM exaust fan thier.
     
    Those 570's will run hot (especially since they are not external exaust models). Just something to think about.....

    With ambient room temperatures at 77-82*F my computer temps are all great. I have the 570's @ 921 x 1987 staying under 78*C in all benchmarks. I removed the heatsinks/fans and re-applied new and higher quality TIM/Paste also figured out how to make the fans run at 100% instead of 85%.
     
    My 4770k is now up to 4300Mhz I delidded it and put liquid metal under the IHS and then ceramique from Arctic Silver. My temps are 21*-24*C idle and 67-70*C full load.
     
    After 4 hours of solid gaming in Metro: Last Light my TZ00 and TZ01 temps never went over 38*C and my three mainboard temp sensors never went above 34*C. I think the 200MM fan is main for air cooled CPU setups, not only are my temps fine with the window panel installed  but it's a lot less noisy now as well.

    Found a cool way to monitor my CPU temps with CoreTemp during benchmarks or gaming as it works as an app for my G19 keyboard:
     


     *Note* the displayed temps are after a long gaming session and the radiator fans were set to the lowest speeds. 
     
    I was hoping Precision might work with the G19 but it doesn't seem to recognize the program. I suppose these keyboards are aging now and the apps support for them never really caught on.

    Bump to update for anyone interested. I upgraded from the GTX 570HD SLi'd video cards in my original post with two EVGA GTX 780 TI Classified video cards in SLi. Amazing cards.. my FPS is through the roof in every game now and matched with a 144Hz monitor everything is super smooth and responsive more than ever. Expensive upgrades but I'm enjoying it. Now have the processor stable at 4.6Ghz, shy of the 5Ghz I wanted but I now realize the Haswell CPU's run very hot. I may try a 4970k to see if my luck is better.
     
    Upgrade Pictures:



    The cables aren't finished yet, I'm waiting for delivery of some individually sleeved wire cables that should really help the looks in the wiring department.
