So I have done a little Upgrade from "The Gorilla", hence the name, "King Kong". I have done something in between this and the gorilla, but I felt it wasnt worth posting that update. Any ways, here is my FINAL build! Hope you enjoy!! :)

NIce clean build, the only thing left to do is sort out those PCIE power cables with some sexy sleeving/braided ones, as they are now they stick out like a sore thumb as a piece of vanilla among a sea of peng.

 

I'm a fan of the black tubing BTW.

Looks great :) I like the black tubing.

Have you thought about using individually sleeved cables?

 

Also, two 7990s?

Are you sure 1000W is enough for quad crossfire?

Yes i am thinking to get individually sleeved cables, something from Icemodz maybe. 

 

For psu, its a Coolermaster V1200 Platinum. I guess its not too easy to see in the pic, plus i need to update my signature too..... but i have used that last 1000w unit to power this system. It was enough. just. but it is still alive! (In Fire Strike i could see up near 1000 watts from the wall).

Like i said to Enderman, i will get some sexyer cables for my pcie, 24pin and cpu 8pins at least. 

 

Glad you like black tubing too! These are Tygon R6010 Norprene tubing. wanted to try, something differrent. and i know norprene tubing isn't necessary, but again, just something different. :)

It's good, everyone and his dog uses clear tubing with coloured coolant, I'm a big fan of clean black look builds.

Why isn't the tube on the rad straight? That slight curve is bothersome

From the 280 rad in the front? Because the fitting alignment with the tank. had to have one outlet going 90 degrees from the tank in to the pump, and the tanks outlets are just a couple degrees off each other. i wished it was straight too, but it just wouldn't happen, unfortunately...
