Awesome build, what's with the 9500Gt?

Haha funny you noticed that.... I am doing a quick test on seeing if it makes a difference to attach my 2nd monitor to my 9500 gt and my gaming monitor to my gtx 770. It may not be there later.

Forgot to put one more picture.

 

 

 

This is a picture of the Aquaero 5 Pro. This was a pain in the butt to install.... But was soooo worth it  :)

That looks really nice and clean, have you tried seeing what white lighting looks like? Sometimes it's better to use less colours and allow the white lighting to let the other coloured parts to pop.

Thanks! I have tried the white lighting on the NZXT Hue and it isn't true white lighting like you would get with a white led light bar since the Hue is RGB. I would post a pic, but the led's in the picture come out light blue instead of white.

In all honesty, I do think the aquero 5 pro is a waste if no WC set up is done. Other than that, nice and neat!

 

I am hoping to do a liquid cooling setup maybe later in the year once i get the money, so it was one of those purchases for the future. Plus, it looks really good with the 650d and the black faceplate!

I like the cable management. I should probably do a build log on my prodigy. there's nothing special in it... prolly do it once I WC and get a 9970. (140 and 180 rads will be cooling the 9970 and 3570K.)
