Nice Specs, not sure If I like that case very much. Also, you probably don't want to build your system on the carpet.

I tried test fitting it and found that the bit under the first 5.25 drive bay was in the way so ive cut that out and alls good now. Cant check with the motherboard yet since I dont have it but from what I can see it should fit. If the motherobard is a problem I checked and I can mount the fans above the radiator in the roof area so all should be good :)

Yeah, that MoBo vrm is going to be too high, so you need to pull air trough. :)

Update #1 - More Pictures and my Current PC.

 

So I got bored and decided to take some more pictures of things and stuff.

 

07100793_zps172b4dd8.jpg

07100785_zps79fc13c9.jpg

07100787_zps28bc7c86.jpg

07100788_zps9068f50d.jpg

07100791_zps1cbca69c.jpg

07100796_zps2931d035.jpg

In this picture the usb connector has the corsair link and the cases card reader connected to it. Since they both only use half the connector it should work fine. Ive done this as from what I can see in pictures the Formula will only have 3 USB 2 headers. I already have two USB 2 connectors coming from the case then there will be this third one. It better have 3 USB headers and not 2!

 

My Current PC

After my first experience building a computer I had so many problems that I decided my next computer would be a pre-built one. I ended up buying an Alienware. I was drawn in by the fancy lights! :wub:  These are the specs of it:

  • CPU: i7-2600 @ 3.4GHz (Watercooled)
  • Memory: 8GB RAM (Cant remember the speed, possibly 1600Mhz)
  • Motherboard: Some random dell one or something.
  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 580
  • PSU: Again some random dell one or something
  • HDD/SSD: 500GB upgraded to an OCZ Agility 3 480GB

Overall I regret this decision so much :3 but meh heres some pictures of it.

 

07100798_zps666b1adb.jpg

07100799_zpsbcd64109.jpg

 

Some of you are probably wondering why im building a new computer if the specs on my current one are actually not too outdated. The simple answer is. Im sick of it! Just want a change and also really want to watercool and overclock. :P

 

There might not be any updates for a while since I cant really do anything without the motherboard! :angry:
