Well not technically yet... but the first piece of the puzzle did arrive today so felt like starting this thread up so long, and the actual case parts will hopefully follow in the next 2-3 weeks :D

And the first piece is... fully modular 80 Plus Gold PSU :love: Cant wait to get home and plug it into my current rig (yes I suffer from chronic CUD). Will definately be getting sleeving for the PSU, thinking green + black.

And while we're at it, I need a name for the rig. Perhaps I'll load up some 3D models later as well.

That I did :D Fan barely spins up when doing 100% stress tests on CPU+GPU, stays off the rest of the time. iirc it only needs to work when pulling 450W or more so ya :D Silence FTW. And it has proper cables too, didnt even need to cable tie anything to get the side panels back on. Will post models/pics when I'm no longer sick, which is hopefully tomorrow morning.

So, it's finally tomorrow morning and still no pics. :(
 
Sorry for the delay, having only one working eye really sucks :/

Anyway, here is some PC pron :D
First up, the PSU comes in a velvet/satin type bag

Next, the PSU in all its glory. Its in my current rig and I'm not taking pics of that mess.

More to follow when I start assembling the frame (2-3 weeks wait on this one, sorry guys)...

In the meantime, I need to find out where to get standard case wiring/connectors (wires is easy, its more the connectors I'm after) that plug into the mobo power/reset/etc, as well as get some standoffs for the mobo.
 
Nice, can you also post links to the product page/store?

Pretty please?
