This build looks amazing. I cannot wait to see the finished result. Also how did you get corsair to sponsor it? I never understood the purpose of sponsoring a computer build.

Alot of time and effort in that. Looking absolutely great. :)
Thank you. I was frustrated at the lack of info found on these controller units, so hopefully my video walk-throughs can help someone else out down the road. Mr.MattyV

They contacted me to see if I would be willing to "showcase" a few of their products after seeing my original 800D build on the Corsair Forums. I didn't request the sponsorship. And if EVGA wanted to do the same, I wouldn't be opposed  .

Exiting News... I pulled an all-nighter and this morning around 4:30AM, I officially finished my Build!! Revived my new Koolance RP-401X2 yesterday to replace my leaking XSPC unit. I really like the look and quality of this new reservoir.  I had to cut the feet off of my Switech MCP355 pumps for them to work with this Res/Pump combo. Once installed they have a lot of head pressure and are pretty quiet.  L arger Image I then proceeded to bled the entire loop of air bubbles and everything is running cool and quiet. I am going to work on getting some really good photos of the case, and cable management. Hope to have them posted by this weekend. Stay tuned.  tester300

Hey guys! I haven't forgot about the final pictures, but I have 1 more item arriving tomorrow, that will finish up my work space, and make it worthy of a high quality photo shoot. I'm pretty excited about it. I also found a great review on multiple 120mm Radiator Fans. The Corsair SP120s that I am using got top marks. Looks like they were a good choice for this build for both looks and performance. AnandTech - Choosing the Best 120mm Radiator Fan: Testing Eight Fans with Corsair's H80 .jpg) With the Aquaero 5 I am running at a barely noticeable noise levels, even during most gaming sessions. Really pleased with both these fans, and that controller unit..

Uh oh... I may need to upgrade my graphics cards now after the newest edition to my workspace.  Going from a resolution of 1920x1200 to 2560x1600 is going to put even more stress on my good ole 580s in SLI.  I finally scored a Dell 3011U monitor! Been wanting a 30in panel for a while, and now my workspace / man cave is in my eyes complete. I will be flanking it with a Dell 2007FP Ultrasharp (1600x1200) on each side, rotated in portrait mode, giving me a semi 3D wrap-around effect with a total resolution of 4,960 x 1,600. I noticed that Nvidia Surround is now an option in the Nvdia Control Panel, so I am going to see if I can actually span Battlefield 3 across all 3 monitors. I will be sure to report back on whether or not it actually works like I hope it will. If not, I will be fine gaming on the 30in and using the side ones to monitor my temps and such like I currently do. I am still sorting through the last of the pictures, and will be posting them all soon. Stay tuned!. .

I have only had time to loaded up 2 games on it so far on the new monitor. One was MineCraft... so not the best by which to judge monitor quality  I did play Mass Effect 3 a bit on it, and everything looked great. Colors really pop, excellent clarity, and no ghosting from what I could tell. I am going to try some Battlefield 3 tonight, and maybe some Supreme Commander or StarCraft II for some RTS action as well. I will comment on my experiences.

Well, found out that Nvidia Surround only works if you have identical displays, and they are rotated the same way (ie, all landscape or all portrait but not mixing of the two even if the vertical resolutions are the same). So looks like I will be gaming on the main display and will continue to use the sides to monitor temps and performance. For future reference, here is the link for what exactly is supported by Nvidia Surround. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-surround-system-requirements.html But as far as gaming goes on the 3011U... WOW! I really like this monitor Just got done touching up the last of the pictures. Will be posting them tomorrow along with and updated index in the OP.

Final Build Pics ! Time to wrap this build log up . It has taken much longer than anticipated, but its finally done, turned out better than I had expected, and of course it also overclocks and performs like a champ. I am going to post a smaller version of each picture in the post, and below each picture, a link to a full size version of the image for those who want some close ups.  Here we have an angled side shot of the case with the window removed. Really pleased with how the colors of the liquid turned out, matching the Corsair fan rings. Here we have another shot, directly from the side. Shots with the windows installed. Looks great. Here we have my attempt at cable management. I did what I could to keep it clean back there, but it was difficult to deal with that many cables, along with their added thickness due to the sleeving, which looks awesome by the way  . Here are some artsy fartsy close up shots  I'm really not that great with a camera, but I wanted to try and get a few shots with my Nikon D80 of the build that were different from the usual side and angled ones we typically see. Now on to the Workstation. Using a Dell 3011U as the main display, flanked by a 2007FP on each side for a total resolution of 4,960 x 1,600. I really like how everything works together, and all of that screen real estate is great for productivity... and of course gaming . Well... that's it! Time to put away the modding/build hat for a while, and enjoy my PC. Thanks to everyone for their support and input. If you guys have any questions for me, I am more than happy to help out. Thanks for looking.

So I was reading the Sept 2012 issue of MaximumPC, and was wowed by the hardware specs on this years "Dream Machine". Not 1 but 2 GTX 690s for some Quad SLI action, and a total system price of over $14,000 !  !  The hardware in that build is no doubt amazing, but what I wasn't impressed with, was the quality of the build itself. Ya they spent $700 on a custom paint job, but the way they set the innards of the case up just doesn't do that hardware justice (even if they used the same color Mayhem dye as I did ). Take a look at a side by side comparison.  I think they need to commission me to build next years Dream Machine... and then after the benchmarking and photo-shoot, allow me keep the hardware .

Well, I did get their attention, and they re-posted my build log on both their Twitter and Facebook pages. Maximum PC - Facebook Timeline Look for it around September 4th on their timeline. Funny thing is, MaximumPC thought that I "recreated" their Dream Machine with my build. Sorry guys... I started mine last April

So I was looking for a new case to help protect my Samsung Galaxy S III, and came across the Trident Aegis. I have one of these on my kid's Nook Tablet to help protect it from the abuse they put it through, and it has done an excellent job so far. So when I noticed that one of the color options was almost identical to my current build... I had to get one.  Its a pretty solid case, and offers a lot more protection than my standard TPU, but at the expense of added thickness. I will probably end up going back to my TPU case at some point, but had to get a quick picture first of the color coordination between my tech gear

Thanks! Glad to have everything done. Now time to sit back and enjoy some games. I suck at BF3, but maybe if I actually play for a bit I can improve my K/D ratio  . Also played a bit of Black Mesa this weekend. Brought back some great memories. The original Half-Life is pretty much the title that got me in to PC gaming.

Anyone seen the announcement of the Corsair 900D case? The thing is a monster, and internally its codename during development was "Godzilla". I really like my 800D, but definitely drooling over the new case. Looks like they took a lot of user feedback, mainly about lack of space for additional radiators, and went well overboard with the new implementation. Here is the Launch page: http://www.corsair.com/900dAnd here is a video shot at CeBit showing off the inside: Corsair Obsidian 900D chassis walkthrough I had convinced myself I wouldn't be doing another build for a while, but with this case launching, I may reconsider...

Do it, you know you want to. I can't afford one, so I will encourage everyone else to get them so I can lust after their builds. Awesome case and if I had the coin I would most definitely get one. I know that Afterburner is planning on getting one. But haven't heard much about others getting them.

Oh I definitely want to, but cost is always factor, and the time involved in doing all my cables again. The toughest part for me is going to be convincing my wife that I need a bigger case than what I already have. She is always making comments about how ridiculously large my 800D is, sitting next to me on the desk.

I really like your build. The clear tubing with the blue coolant really brought it together over the blue tubing. Great use of stuff in that case.
I feel yah on that 900D case

I will be getting rid of my 580 Hydro Coppers in SLI solely for Oculus (pre-order completed). Been contemplating an upgrade for a while, but VR has pushed me to actually doing it. Gaming performance with the 580s was still pretty good, but I know SLI won't cut it for VR so making the much overdue upgrade. As of this week started using an EVGA 970 FTW+, but planning on getting the X80 (GTX 1080?) Pascal SKU once waterblocks are also available, hopefully around summer time. That will also set off a new Build Log!  One thing I was a bit concerned about was the Oculus System Compatibility Tool. Everything was green for me except my CPU. They recommend an Intel i5-4590 CPU or greater. Thing is my i7-970 although a few years old, actually beats the i5-4590 in most benchmarks (probably due to it being a hexacore CPU and OC'd to 4.2GHz). I'm hoping that it will still run everything ok, but worry about some sort of software limitation by Oculus that won't allow me to run the VR hardware because it doesn't meet their recommended spec.  Anyone have any ideas if the "requirements" are actual requirements of just recommendations?
