I personally like the length of all LTT videos. There not too short, but not too long either

Nothing, I never win things.

You may just be the first user on the forums to have a Titan Z.

The goal for this build was to be completely and absurdly overkill for everything my friend can throw at it.  He has more than enough money to build this and not bat an eyelash. He is a 3d designer by trade, and plans on getting into 3 printing as well. Please keep all the comments about how overkill this is out of this thread.  We don't care.  We've heard it.  We know it's obscenely overkill.  Neither of us care.
 
I planned the final details on this forum and if anyone is curious, here is the thread.
 
With that said, I've been planning this build with my friend for over 2 months.  I'm sure there will be things that we planned wrong, or chose the wrong part.  We're both expecting to have to return parts and switch them.  I'll be documenting the progress of the build.  I know this thread will be a popular one, so I'll lay out our timetable so people don't go crazy wondering when the next update will be.
 
The build will consist of 3 phases with 1-2 weeks between each phase for planning, part fabrication, etc.
Phase 1: Aircooled build - Just get all the hardware running, playing nice, do burn ins, and make sure the system is stable.
Phase 2: Clean up - Make the build pretty, get everything put in to place, all hardware mounted where it belongs for phase 3.
Phase 3: Watercooling - Take the pretty to the next level, and make this rig silent with a fully custom watercooling loop.

Don't get pregnant or get someone else pregnant.

It's just like prison - find the biggest, toughest guy there and kick his ass. Then make some wine in the toilets.

Don't be an idiot trying to be cool.

People are very anti-police and can't see round their foolishness
 
They watch these videos where a guy is being a massive twat waving a camera into some policeman's face, no wonder why the situation escalates. If people actually had respect for the police, then they wouldn't be being a dick and filming them doing their job, which they have to do.

Most people don't have a backbone these days, they are too soft and get offended far too easily.
 
It's pathetic, Racism gets exaggerated to monumental levels these days.

Totally expected someone to do this. lol

Ok let's stop this religious argument because no amount of facts or opinions will sway either side to the other and will only cause more problems. So please, everyone, drop it?

I was sitting at a table in a Mexican restaurant when a little boy at the table next to me asked his father, "Daddy, how many people are there in the world? A billion?" And his father replied, "Yeah, that sounds about right." I didn't say anything, I just kept eating my nachos.

False. Counter Strike. Argument over.
