That attention to detail, looking forward to the next update, great stuff man.

Get any color you prefer and just clean it from time to time and you should be fine.

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming > All EVGA's GTX 970 offerings.

Yeah there's no need to spend so much, just that my OCD wants me to cover up everything. No problem, been using it for quite awhile, and I must say all the provided dust filters does the job well, though some of them remained clean after half a year of usage. Mostly due to the positive air pressure that I've set up in my case, but at least when the PC is turned off I can sleep peacefully knowing the dust protection is still there lol.

After seeing it so many times still won't get bored of it, just simply. (HINT: The guy who jokingly asked you to bring your rig to a certain dinner gathering but now they are actually gonna do it lol )

Bought this for my Air 540. http://www.demcifilter.com/p0431/Corsair-Air-540-Dust-Filter-Kit.aspx

Very good specs for the price, of course don't expect materials like they use in the Enthoo Evolv though.

Using the Air 540 currently. First off as Kloaked said, too much plastic, though acceptable to me. Agree with him more on the inefficient space usage, as I believe more 3.5" drives could be fitted on the PSU side. Another downside for me is lack of dust filter for the PSU but could be easily solved by getting third party magnetic dust filter. It's also a matter of taste since not many people like the large footprint. Advantages would be the unobstructed airflow, ease of building in it, especially in terms of cable management because a noob like me could just stash away the cables and the system still looks clean in the end. The Enthoo Pro however wins in a lot of areas, mostly in terms of watercooling due to more radiator compatibility, bay reservoirs work better on the Enthoo Pro too since it uses standard orientation for the 5.25" bays instead of the Air 540's rotated one. In my opinion the Enthoo Pro also wins in terms of materials used. However do take a look at the Enthoo Pro M that will be released soon, at 79 USD if I am not mistaken mentioned by Hardware Canucks.

+1 to this build for owning Alter's Yui Hirasawa. And nice room overall, wish I can afford all of this.

Corsair Air 540 for the non-restrictive airflow(assuming front fans are oriented for intake), you'll really need that airflow if you intend to use 2 non-reference GTX 980's. I might be wrong so I hope someone else could give a better explanation regarding this.

Thanks, that's good to know.

And how much does the GTX 970 G1 Gaming cost over there? I heard electronics are cheaper there compared to Malaysia.

This is way more updated compared to your build log in Lowyat forum lol.

And by the way thanks to everyone for the responses too.

Cool, how is the availability of the G1 Gaming in Singapore? In Malaysia they're all currently out of stock and said to be restocked somewhere around this week so I'm patiently waiting. Not interested in the other choices due to color scheme(yes this is a very important point to me lol).

Thanks for all your responses, I forgot to note a few things now that I see you guys mentioning it. The EVGA ones aren't available here and I read more bad reviews than good on those so I will avoid it. As for noise I am not concerned since I will be on headphones all the time. And base on the responses here I guess I will be going with the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming.

As the title says, I am not sure which one of the 2 choices to go with. 1. From where I am the price difference I can get them for is only about 10 USD. 2. My plan is to get one first and stick with the 1080p monitor I am having, then add a second one later on along with 2 more 1080p monitors for 5760*1080 gaming. 3. Planning to play some and max out triple A titles on both mentioned resolutions. 4. Going for a black and blue color scheme so those are the only cards I can think of. If there are anything you guys would like to know please don't hesitate to ask. And if possible please state your reason for suggesting your choice, thanks.

From what I am able to see ALL fans in the picture are exhaust lol.

You will be able to fit in a full ATX motherboard, and the Kraken X61 at either the top or the front of the case. It is good due to direct airflow from front fans without obstruction(usually HDD cages as seen in other cases).

If you intend to go full-blown watercooling on more than one component I would NOT recommend any of the 2 you mentioned. Air 540 for better airflow(I own one) and if you like or don't mind the wider footprint as well as the much higher price compared to the S340. Both would work fine for completely air cooled builds or minor watercooling.

*Sorry for off-topic* If you have completed this anime series you will know that this is nowhere close to harmless lol.

Please do not use the brand as a deciding factor for GPUs, let performance, temperatures, power draws, and the amount of cash you're willing to fork out be the deciding factors. Oh and the games you play too since some games are better optimized on Nvidia cards and some better on the AMD ones.

No idea regarding red colored cases around that price range, but for purely black color there's the NZXT S340, it's about 69 USD I believe, and the Phanteks Enthoo Pro(windowed version) for 99 USD if you don't mind adding another 9 USD in as it is really worth getting for it's build quality, watercooling potential, and modding friendly.

Houki Shinonono and Cecilia Alcott approves.

JoanneTechLover from YouTube reviewed the S340.
