I had my good friend Jappetto from over on Reddit help me make the sleeving for my PSU (which proved interesting because he had never made a sleeved set for the Supernova, so I had to end up testing the cables and getting a pin out diagram together), and I have to say his work is as always gorgeous. I don't have a lot of photos of the system at this point but here ya go:

For lighting on the system I used 2 12" cathodes on either side of the side panel window, and unfortunately my phone's camera isn't very good at capturing how well they light the system. So how do you guys like it?

PSU was overkill, 850W would handle everything with good overclocks and with some nice headroom as well, but it's your rig and it's beautiful :)

Also nice cat :D

Thing is classified's can have voltage unlocked up to something like 1.4v, and I've seen benchmarks of people pulling over 350W on a single classified before, so I decided I'd rather have plenty of extra headroom over a bit of headroom. I had an 850W PSU before.

What part of it? Or just some of the sleeving itself up close?

And how far did you push the cards?

Haven't had the time to push the voltage yet, but I have hit 1325mhz on both cards without going beyond the normal 1.21v (I think it is) that you're normally allowed to increase to. Honestly I'm just enjoying having the system up and running again for now and life has kept me from doing much beyond that. That being said I do plan to push them as high as they'll go on air.

Really nice result, I'm probably going to get a Classy as my next upgrade too.
