GPU + Case Upgrade + AIO

Sooo like most people I ran into a bit of extra stimulus cash and decided to upgrade.

Went from a crappy budget $55 Deepcool case to a $260 Fractal Define 7 case.

Started off as this cramped mess with my old rx480 ...

And about 24聽hours later I ended up here.

Not without drama though, the first AIO cooler I got was leaking! so had to take it back to the store and get it swapped I take my whole rig in cause it was easier at the time but聽they were really聽busy so the guy asked can I remove it,聽I'm like sure lol so he handed me a screw driver and took聽off the cooler in-store on their display bench.
got home and put it all back together, also got some nice red/black power extension cables for the gpu as the ones from the power supply are really chunky and hard to manipulate.

All in all I'm pretty happy about it.

Next step is to get a small led matrix audio visualiser聽powered by an Arduino聽or some type of active screen and stick it on that panel. :D

Edit I forgot to put in the extra back shot of all the hidden HDD聽& cabling goodness :D
