Looks good :)

Just don't touch the thermaltake fans too much. The second they are slightly out of alignment the noise becomes unberably annoying

I only kept the 2 big fans that came with the case, replaced the smaller fans with quieter ones, I got the case many many months ago, it works fine for me and everything fit perfect, only thing I will look for different in my next case would be one where the bottom filter slides out the side or is magnetic so I can take it off from any direction. instead of the back and one that is less flashy. I would also have faster internet because downloading all my games off of steam is taking forever. It is much quieter then my asus g73 laptop while gaming or under load. I am happy with it and that is all that matters.

Still figuring out windows 8.1 though, since before this computer I have had maybe a total of 30 minutes using it. Honestly I have yet to figure out why so many people complain about it so bad.

fortunately mine is wisper quiet right now, so I will try and avoid touching them. The corsair fans on my h100i are the noisiest fans in my case.

The case ruins the whole thing... But good build apart from that

The case works fine for me, but it a little on the flashy side, next case i get in the future be less flashy with a bigger side window and less plastic, for now I am happy with this one, it worked great with out any issues and plenty of room inside.

I think I will try my hand at a full water loop on the next build i do for myself. That will be couple of yrs though. Next build I do will be for my daughter next spring for her 10th bday. I already found the case I want to get for her and it is pink lol. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144279. Then she can stop begging to use my computers all the time. She likes computer gaming, she was playing dirt 3 only my laptop the last weekend I had her.

Oh the hole in my wall is from some work the electrician did, and hasn't been patched up yet, and this room in my house is still pretty empty being that I only moved here about 10 days ago. If I took the time to edit some of these pics in photo shop a little bit they could have looked better I am sure but I rarely do that for pictures I put on forums unless it is like and actual photo contest thread.

Yeah, a question, how did you put the corsair H100i cpu watercooler in place? I'd like to know because for a fun fact I'm trying to build a similar build for my first build too, though it's around 2 000.
