    Have a look at Caselabs' SMA8, it is like a 900D, except bigger and much better quality,
    I would recommend it for a build like this.

    Awesome! I really love the older Mac Pro/G5 design!
     
    Here are two suggestions if you haven't already ordered the parts. They are super nit-picky and you totally don't have to do them.
       The PSU: The TX series is an older, louder, slightly less efficient PSU.
             Recommendations:
                 - EVGA SuperNova 850 (there are 3 models G2 (80+ Gold), B2 (80+ Bronze, same as TX), and S (A shorter PSU, 80+ Gold, I  recommend for compatibility)
                 - Silverstone Strider Gold S 850
     
     The Cooler: The tranquilo is good, but the Noctuas (if you can stand the color) are better, if you can afford it, get a NH-U12S, NH-U9S. You could also buy a NF-F12 for the tranquilo.
     
    Remember, don't feel pressured, this is a great build already!
    Happy to see where this goes!

    I was raised as an only child, always around adults. I am a freshman in HS, but people always think I am much older. There is a kid in my class who acts like he's 6 though, but he has 4 siblings, all older. It might have to do with your family, but it might not.

    I was home-schooled when I was young (10) and was about to enter 7th grade (I moved at a fast pace), but our family moved and the school I transferred to (real school) put me into 4th because of "social complications". I prob. would have been out of college by now if I had stayed in home school.

    Maybe a rad in the front for more cooling? But other than that, epic build!

    As long as your mobo and your case can support a thick one, sounds cool! A thick one or a thin one in push/pull fan config might interfere with the left tube going to the cpu. You could always put a super thick 240/280 rad in the front with the ports on the bottom (to not interfere with the top rad), you'd only have to move the pump/res. If temps are good as it is now, then pass on putting another rad until you change something significant in the build (ie: X99, 3-4 gpus)

    A friend says he built a computer, so I ask him the specs. He starts talking about the intel i9 processor and how he had 128 gb of ram and 4 way sli with 780tis in it (back when those just came out). I contained my laughter and asked him to show me a pic. He pulls a picture of a raspberry pi up on his phone and I just stood there like o____o.

    2. Jay - water cooling and extreme hardware.
    3. Hardware Canucks - sick camera work and accent 
    4. MKBHD - buttoned up and super "consumer" level. I go to him when I want to see how the product is everyday, not just the specs.
