Looks greats, could do with some tidying but don't think you can do much with the motherboard size. 

 

Specs? 

[ShadyHost]

Looks nice. I think I might order a backplate for my 780.

When I saw the title I thought you had remade "Blue Thunder" into HD quality lol

Looks good though.

Specs?

I would love to get a different PSU with full modular and braided cables to go along with my color scheme (I'd choose white) but unfortunately I am tapped out of money. I got the motherboard for free along with the PSU (brand new from a family member) so even though I have a large tower the MB does make it seem off and makes the cable management a bit off. I wasn't able to loop the GPU to PSU cables because they weren't long enough and like I said before no more money to put into different, tidy cables. I would love to get a different MB to fit the case fully but that won't happen until my current one dies on me.

PSU: Rosewill Hive 80 Plus Bronze 750w

GPU: EVGA GTX 780 ACX SC w/ Backplate

CPU: Intel i5 3570k OC

CPUC: Corsair H110 Liquid Cooler

Exhaust fan: Corsair 140mm AF Quite

MB: Asus P8z77-M Pro

SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB (Programs Drive)

RAM: 16GB (4x4) Corsair Vengeance OC 1600Mhz

Tower: Cooler Master Storm trooper

Some good solid components there.

Fan led looks like a swastika, cable management needs to be tidier

I see the fan leds as blades, but whatever floats your german boat. As I said above cable management won't be possible unless I have a longer MB and braided cables which I don't have the money for neither do I have the need for them. Obvious perfection would come with other equipment, hence this is not a e-penis build.

Was the name of this build influenced in any way by the movie?

Actually no, the name was inspired by my color scheme blue/white/black.   :D

Oh well, cool build anyway. Enjoy that 780!

[Nicktrance]

I think cable management could be better even with that motherboard, but otherwise it looks great :).

Run the front panel cables behind the mobo..Nice case by the way. I have the same one and love it..

[MEE]

Very nice build, clean

 Didn't even think about that, good idea i'll try to fix that!

Looks good, just save up for some sleeved cable extensions ;)
