The GPU seems a little odd, but other than that it could turn out to be one hell of a nice - looking rig :)

Update: I have ordered the watercooling. Had to swap the ex 360 for an rx version because of stock issues... So now I'll have enough watercooling headroom to cool anything I could ever want. I also just ordered 2 Seagate 600 240gb ssds on a nice sale for 130 a piece, im planning on throwing those down on the bottom of the H440. Still sticking with the GPU's since I don't game over 1080p and I do like they way they look... But future me might change my mind. Just waiting on the actual case now! (Hurry up pre-order!)

So after talking to NCIX, it is my understanding that the Black and Red H440 has had some paint issues and production was stopped for a little while. I tweeted NZXT and they confirmed this was an issue in January and it has caused a "ripple". So hopefully I will be able to get the case soon and start building. I will take some pics of all the watercooling parts in a week or so when I am able too!

Time for some pictures of the water-cooling stuff that came in last week. As for the H440...still no word :( if the Corsair 760t comes out first I might just get one of those.

Here's all the parts in their glory. Doesn't feel like as much as it should be considering how much it costed! :P I got all my parts from DazMode.com

Better look at the Darkside 360 60mm thick rad (XSPC RX360). Not too many dings to complain about

Going to have to fix this title. I ended up getting the corsair 750D instead and I have to say... It's pretty incredible. I'll post some progress pics later on today :D

Edit: I'll just upload now! 

 

Had to drill some holes... Did them on the wrong side at first... Then didn't measure including fan width on top of radiator width... It was a fun night but all is well:post-60543-0-50103000-1396019774_thumb.j

So it turns out with the rog armor.... The rad won't fit.. But the board looks nice without it! 

post-60543-0-97999500-1396020555_thumb.j

 

And here's where we stand right now! Got some tube in and test fitting everything

lookin pretty spiffy, very nice

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
