Sorry for my late reply - should're replied much earlier.
I can't take photos of I right now because I had to RMA it and send it back to Hong Kong because of an issue I was having with pump noise.
However, as soon as I get the the thing back, i'll get some photos taken.
 
It was pretty tight getting it in, I must say. But by no means impossible. The main issue was the 8-pin which can't be plugged in while the fans are installed so every time I need to unplug the CPU power, the fans need to come off.
So yeah, it was kinda tight but it definitely fits when offset slightly. Photos ASAP - i'll keep you posted.

I'm definitely with this guy - just leave the dye and get coloured tubing. 

True, all distilled/demineralised water does become conductive over time. It doesn't work on its own and that's what the kill coil or biocide is to used for (as an anit-algae/antimicrobial additive).
 
fun fact: Coolants marketed as non conductive do eventually become conductive over time as well.

nope, nope, nope, nope, nope
 
just add colored tubing.
 

Really sorry to all of the people that never won any codes but a lot of people seem to be having spare keys lately and these mini-giveaways are somewhat mainstream so good luck!
 
Anyway - 2AM as promised and it's all random so it was as follows:
 
KOTech (MOH)
 
iAsuno (Mirrors Edge)
 
Jogostar (Dead Space)
 
Hirgaki (Burnout)
 
Mansel (Crysis 2)
 
Well done ^    
I'll send you all a message with the keys in them. 

A broccoli cutter. LOL kidding. probably the iphone 4s!

Helloooo everyone, here is my recently upgraded rig, will post pictures from the previous build and the new one! ( Well the only thing that changed was the platform but yeah enjoy :D)
    I called it Gold Ghetto because: 1) for some weird reason it sounds good in my head 2) the motherboard is gold and 3) because some of the things i have done are pretty ghetto mounted and just generally stuff you shouldnt do with a computer!

i know everyone is gonna hate me for this but
 
 

Would look awesome...but they've put EA logos on it... 1/10.

I have an 8350 and the Sabertooth R2.0 - I can only say good things about it. You'll probably have to get the R2.0 version if you don't already have an AM3 CPU because the non-R2.0 version would need a BIOS update otherwise. But yeah, great motherboard.
