Appreciate it, guys! Cable management is still not as clean as I want it to be, so I'm going to be working on that in the next coming week. Might also do something about the drives/drive cages to free up some space and clean more. 

 

 

our first rigs are quite similar! I also went with the c70, 4770k, h100i, sabertooth, AX PSU and samsung evo range of SSD's

 

link is in my sig, it might interest you as I have removed both HDD cages and still have 4.2TB of storage

Corsair C70 Black Windowed | Asus Sabertooth Z87 | i7 4770k | Corsair H100i | Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x4GB 1866Mhz | SLI GTX 780 Classified | Corsair AX860 | Samsung EVO 250GB SSD | 2x2TB WD Green

good job. nice specs bro and welcome.

 

how do you feel about your stickers at the front?  If you're ok with it that's cool .. but I think it would look better elsewhere? Like on the side or top maybe.  Front would look look cleaner imho.

I am a huge fan of your build! Did you happen to post it on the Corsair contest? I feel like I saw it there somewhere. lol. Where did you put storage devices?

I don't like the stickers where I put them. Honest opinion. I just don't know where else to place them, haha.

Great looking build, I love the C70. One piece of advice I could give is regarding the cables coming out of your power supply. Is there any way to have them plugged in to the power supply closer to the cable gromet? Should make that area of the case look a bit cleaner.

Yeah! I was just thinking about flipping the power supply for cable management reasons. Also, I love your build! It's so clean!
