Wanted to share with my Corsair brethren. This was the life of my system from birth to how it presently sits. I do plans in the not-so-distant future to upgrade a bunch of components, and debating which case I should move to (750D or 900D) or if I should do a rebuild in this one. A part of that plan, if I stayed with my current case, is to cut out the bottom to fit a 240mm radiator to cool the added components. We'll see...

 

Specs:

Corsair Air540

Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.6ghz

ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3

ASUS Nvidia GTX780

Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3-1600 RAM

Corsair HX850 Power Supply - Custom MDPC Sleeving

Seagate 1TB 7200RPM/64MB HDD

Crucial M4 128GB SSD

Seagate 500GB 5400RPM/16MB HDD

ASUS Optical Drive

 

Cooling:

XSPC Raystorm CPU Waterblock

XSPC Razor GTX780/Titan Waterblock

XSPC Photon 170mm Reservoir Glass/Aluminum

XSPC EX360 Radiator

XSPC EX280 Radiator

XSPC In-Line LCD Temperature Sensor

Swiftech MCP655-PWM G1/4-Threaded

Primochill Rigid Ghost Fittings

Primochill Rigid Acrylic Tubing

Corsair SP120 High-Performance Fans x3

Corsair AF140 Quiet Edition Fans x2

Thanks guys. The back is relatively organized, but not perfect by any means. I'm deployed at the moment, so I'm unable to take a decent picture, but here's one when it was nearing completion (note the unsleeved cables), before all the zip-tying took place. My 3.5" HDD is mounted to the roof right above the optical bays.

Yes, that was my Skyline. Sold it a while back to look at picking up a bone stock one as a "fresh" platform, but I'm constantly debating on whether I should or not.

Haha don't worry about the hijack. Always a fan of family discussion, as the wife and I are planning to start a family when I return from this deployment. She insists our first will be a girl. I'm indifferent.

 

appreciate your service to our country,i was told the reason i had 3 boys and not a girl was i didnt have the bang to knock off the boys little bump:D: ,,with you being away in japan for so long,that shouldnt be a problem for you...;):
