Intel Core I5 2500K at 4,5Ghz

Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600Mhz

MSI AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB shadermodded to 6970 and runs at 1Ghz

ASUS Xonar DG

Corsair CX600

Coolermaster 692 Advanced

Samsung 830 64GB SSD

 

EK watercooling stuff:

Supreme LTX

Ek 6970 nickel-plexi

Alphacool reservoir

Alphacool DC-LT pro pump

Masterkleer tubing

Magicool 360 rad.

Mayhems Pastel Ice white coolant (in the final build)

 

It runned with a shit blue coolant for a month, than i changed to alcohol+clear water, and now i have white tubing and white coolant :)

Awesome job man, but if u want to make your rig more cleaner and beatiful than that, try the Sabertooh Z77.

Here's a rig with that mobo: (Best Rated at techpowerup.com)

Holy shit that looks pretty was the first thing that came out of my mouth LOL.

 

I wish you had stuck with the transparent blue fluid though

 

 

Awesome job with the build. Love the carbon fiber mod you did for the bottom part of the case.

 

Thumbs up!

I love the stuff you did on the inside, and I love the re-paint on the top and front it looks great. I'm not overly sure on the rad though, but that's just my opinion.
