I know this is kind of in-progress, but my eyes hurt! Bright green cables with red Asus motherboard and red RAM sticks... I really hope by the end of the build you get the right color scheme all around. 

 

PS: IMO this is not really an overkill build, besides the two 500GB SSDs and the 1200W PSU. For me an overkill build is an i7 5960X with a massivly expensive Asus WS board and 128GB of RAM. 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 - 3900x @ 4.4GHz with a Custom Loop | MBO: ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme | RAM: 4x4GB Apacer 2666MHz overclocked to 3933MHz with OCZ Reaper HPC Heatsinks | GPU: PowerColor Red Devil 6900XT | SSDs: Intel 660P 512GB SSD and Intel 660P 1TB SSD | HDD: 2x WD Black 6TB and Seagate Backup Plus 8TB External Drive | PSU: Corsair RM1000i | Case: Cooler Master C700P Black Edition | Build Log: here

Sweet build going on here :) I was just wondering, I've had buying the 900D in the back of my head for a while now, and I've heard A LOT of good and bad things about it. mainly about construction and QA. Could you tell me what you think about the case? And whether or not you's recommend?
Thanks!

But...A 900d is really no good for watercooling,it chokes radiators so bad

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Hey mate, well from the moment i opened the box i really liked it. and ive completed half the build so far and at no point have i said "FFS that cant fit"

The quality i think is really good. its sturdy in all the right places, but some things are fragile. Such as the front cover where you usb ports are.

 

Other things which ive noticed, the rear Fan can only be a 140mm FAN.

And that the 3 fans at the front are not flush against each other, the top fan has a slight gap between the one below.

 

Other then that at this time there isnt much to complain about. Loads of room and its nice and cool inside. :D

So at the moment i'm just waiting for the watercooling stuff to turn up.

 

However i decided to take the 900D for a test spin B) and what better way to do it then to boot up TITANFALL with the settings on ULTRA and everyone set to high.

 

You know ive been playing games on a 3 year old Alienware MX14 so the change is amazing to say the least.

 

CPU is running at around 55 degrees

and both the GPU's are running at around 44 degrees on there stock coolers.

 

I'd take pictures but my Iphone 4's camera sucks :angry:

 

 

And my screens aren't here yet so that's just a simple 60hz Samsung monitor

 

 

Ive gone for a TITANFALL theme on the outside as well
