Oh man  :wub:

 

Will your fan controller allow for the fans turning off? Because man i'd kill for one of them, nobody makes any anymore

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

Yes, i plan to develop a code that will allow that, also i will insert ambiental temperature value into my algorithm, so fan speeds and temperature limits will adapt to room temperature and adjust itself automatically.

But to be honest with you, these eLoops are absolutely quiet at 600RPM, and they can easily move air thru radiator, which is keepeng my temps around 43 degrees Celsius in 24/7 full system load, while in gaming, lets say 1080p maxed out Witcher 3, i can barely hear my rig working :)

Hmm, or 3? :) There is no need for that, one 980 is far than enough for me :D

Yeah, i know that feeling when lack of funds is slowing you down :)

I've been on the other side for like 10 years, and now, after i did a few changes in my life, i finally came to this side :) ( And i don't regret a single life changing choice i've made. )

So is this somewhat finished? 

It has a really stealthy look to it and looks great IMO.

 

Great work!

Well, 90% finished :)

I still have some things to add / change / remove. I need to sleeve remaining psu cables ( sata / molex ) and change some wires that connect case psu conector with Seasonic psu connector. 

I hope that i will do this in upcoming 2 - 3 weeks, as i plan to go to vacation, and i won't be back untill September.

I'll mount them on top of the case, so they won't be visible when you remove the side panel.

That's creative! Can't wait to see it!

Me too mate, me too :D I still need to swap out this 530 120gb ssd for 1tb + 512gb ssd-s, and then we can call it complete in terms of hardware specs. :)
