I recommend just taking out that upper HD rack and getting another quiet fan or two
Prob going to at some point. Only reason I kept it in there was because I didn't want to store it anywhere else yet and if you turn it like I did you still get good air flow.

It's great! The only complaint I had was in assembly because the manual didn't really go over the option for hooking up the case fans to the mobo or psu, I had to look that up myself. Still glad blue recommended it to me

Are you really running single-channel RAM in this thing?

There's nothing wrong with it. Plus he got it for free

Noctuas are ugly in pictures but awesome IRL.
Build quality is so damn good you are blown away by damn. (No pun intended)

Dual channel will help in benchs, photo and video editing but nothing more in gaming or everyday use.

Really is awesome so many on here are getting into PC building. I remember just a few months ago it felt like only 6-7 of us.

Yea When I saw the free ram offer I researched it a bit to see if it was that big of a difference. Sounds like there is but not really noticeable so I said screw it. If I want the dual channel I can always upgrade it down the line.

Crazy how awesome the fans look IRL. The brownish really isn't that bad. You actually like seeing it because you know it is a high quality top of the line part, saying that I purchased the Corsair SP120 Quiet Editions for the new build. lol

Hi, My name is blitzed and im a new CPUer.
Built my first CPU this weekend as well. All the shits going to my SSD when i want it to the HDD. Will transfer later i guess. Overall it was a great build(thanks to jeff).
I already feel amazing on it. Surprised it only took me about 10 min to get used to dayz on mouse and key after playing consoles controllers since SNS. Should have invested in this a long time ago.

You did the build? I thought you were going to have someone else do it or am I wrong?
Posted on 3/4/13 at 4:55 pm to Mr Gardoki
Yeah. I got the parts and just couldnt wait. Like a kid on christmas morning.
Posted on 3/4/13 at 5:15 pm to Blitzed
How much fun was that? Post your build
Eta: all my parts were in Tuesday last week, it was killing me to wait until the weekend.
