Oman, I love seeing X58 still being used! I'd still have mine if I didn't develop a fetish for cube cases. Those first gen i7's ran hot. This is a clean build to be proud of. :D

 

How does the soft touch treatment feel in person? I've been considering a Bit Fenix case.

Thanks! Yes they do run plenty hot, you're right. 

 

The soft touch treatment feels awesome! Bitfenix cases are built solid too. I have a prodigy aswell for my HTPC

Hell yeah, X58! I'll always have a weak spot for that platform.

Also liking the build in general. No ugly light colour, clean loop and cabling,

just how it should be. :)

Dude, don't think that, never think that! I'm still rocking LGA 1366 as well in my

ongoing build. And TBH I'm seriously considering going 1366 for the one after that

if I can get the money together. As long as you don't need the absolutely superest

fastest machine possible X58 is still pretty damn epic as far as I'm concerned, at

least as long as you can afford the additional electricity cost (gotta give props

to Sandy and Ivy on that one).

And on another note: X58 had BCLOCK overclocking! It wasn't just about cranking up

multipliers and voltages. Yeah, it might need some nerves and patience from time to

time, but technically speaking it was a lot more interesting (I'm actually kinda

looking forward to overclocking my SR-2, she's a very tricky lady from what I've

heard).

The lighting looks really good and works great for the second & third images. The tubing looks damn fine with the lights pretty much making it glow a transluscent white. I also quite like the raw power distribution blocks for some fans and LEDs tucked behind the drive cages.

Thanks fellas :) Still need to rewire the blocks and put heads on the wires (It was just a test run for now)

 

I'm also thinking in the near future I want to take out the 5.25 back completely and get a tube res with pump and put a 360 ran in the front aswell
