After seeing a few on the internet that I really liked, I decided to build one myself. It took close to two months from first part ordered to the point it's at now. Let me know what you guys think:

I'm still back and forth on the coolant. Had blue, switched to red, now i'm thinking i'd like the white more.


















SPECS:

Asus Rampage IV Black Edition X79 LGA 2011

Intel I7-3820 Sandy Bridge - E

16 GB G.Skills Ripjaws 1600 mhz 9-9-9-24

1x Samsung 512GB SSD

2x Kingston Hyper X 128 GB SSD

EVGA GTX 780 TI Classified

Lots of fans and radiators and LED's and compression fittings.

I didn't even know this was a thing. Is there a way to turn off the LED's? I'd think they'd get annoying.

Yes. NZXT Hue controller. I can make them flash or cycle colors or breath or solid or off.

It will look better once it's on a wall.

Not exactly my thing since I am decidedly anti-bling, but I can appreciate the artistic intent and craftsmanship.

Why so many fans? I wouldn't need that many fans in an air cooled system.

I need those lights

because it looks cool!

very clean. good work

I'm also squarely in the Spicewood anti-bling camp. I prefer my computer to be quiet and unobtrusive to the point that you almost forget it's even there.

That's not a knock against your build, because it looks like a quality machine. Just a difference of opinion. I like the idea of non-traditional enclosures, though. You're giving me ideas of building a custom PC into a bookshelf or desk drawer or something.
