Also, did you custom paint those Corsair fans? B/c i would like to replace the default ones that come with the Node 804 with red fans, and those look pretty good...

They come with Color rings :)

well it is the loudest thing in my computer when idle (but i have my corsair fan at 400 rpm ans silent wings 2 at 900 rpm) so it is really quiet. i can barely hear it and i hear very good :P  i defiently recommend it, it is the quietest AIO on the market (unsure about the swiftteck ones)

Hmm... I wonder if it'll fit in the 804 tho ...

Yea, about that, is there a difference between the EVGA "GS" PSU's vs EVGA "NEX" PSU?? 

It's just quality difference

yeah that would suck... buying a 1700$ PC only for it to break because you skipped on the PSU xD

Oh pfft I completely forgot something... I remember why I chose those components in the first place, I wanted to get a Hackintosh triple-boot (Ubuntu, Win10, OS X) working with this build. Should be fine though with these parts (I hope)...

Yea, it's recommended on TonyMacX86, but then again I got OS X working on completely not-recommended hardware (although it took a couple of months), so I should be fine...

why the h110i gtx? the nepton 240m is much quieter (since you want with a "quiet" case i assume that's what you want)

don't forget the third af120 :P

Other then that it looks good :)
