Spoken like a true newlywed... trust me, there are a couple of things she plans to change.

Thats what she said!

I'm usually not that fond of white machines because I find they always look a bit flimsy, but this looks pretty damn cool. I really like how you put 4 or more cable combs between the Graphics card and the part where it goes out of sight. Brilliant.

Stupid question. OF COURSE YOU SHOULD

As a follow up to my post about the Black & White X99 H440 I just completed, I thought I'd share my personal gaming rig too.

Okay, so this is a bit of a 'hobby build'.  I've always wanted a good looking black & white computer, using parts that require not custom painting it in the shed, simply plug-and-play beautiful.  So with the recent release of X99 and the brilliant H440 I no longer had a choice but to build "The Surgeon" - clinical good looks and 'cutting edge' technology... get it?
 
The problem with this being a 'hobby build' is that I recently built my personal Z97, 4790K gaming rig and it delivers all the oomph I need for AAA gaming, music and videos etc.  This white little monster is now finished and has gone up on Fleabay in an attempt to recoup costs. Below I've spec'd out the parts and some explanation for why I chose them, plus some pictures.  The real crime here is that I've only booted this beast to see if everything is working and have not done any benchmarks etc. to see how it really performs... trust me, if I do I'll want to keep it so I know not to even go there.
 
Enjoy the show and let me know if you have questions/comments.

Nice cable work. Loving the color scheme.
