Did you get your rig up and running puff?

sure did my friend. I found a thread on toms hardware with a 30 point checklist for failures to post. Luckily I only got to 4. Started by taking off the excess thermal paste. Then I reseated my gpu. Next I reseated my dimm and it worked. I think the issue was the dimm slots only have releases on one side, so I had figured if it snapped in it would be fine. You really have to make sure that you put even pressure on both ends of the dimm.
Immediately spent 3 hours updating drivers, installing chrome, free AV, steam, etc. Finished up cable mgmt the next day and sealed it up. It is super fast and runs everything on max settings. Granted, I have only really played some d3 and tf2 on it. Then I started up dear ester and holy shite it is beautiful. I had played dear ester on my laptop on lower settings and I just didn't get it. With the graphics and textures turned up it is much more immersive. Love this computer so far. If I could do it over the only thing I would do different is get a modular power supply. I ended up with two whole strings of unused molex and sata power connections which were a pita to hide well. Will post pics in the AM. Am going to OC soon.
