Caselabs Build

[Horton91]

Well I finally broke down and ordered a Caselabs SMH10 case. After two cases (C70 & Phantom 410) that have proven not to be enough for my needs and ever growing upgrades I figured this would be a worthwhile investment.
 

My current setup:
I7 3770 4.2 GHz
Sabertooth z78
Corsair LP 8 GB 1664 MHz
GTX 670 SLI both stable at 1300 MHz
Almost dead HX 650w  <- Evga 1000w to replace.
 

Part need to order:
2 480 radiators
Water cooling bits
SSD finally
Radiator fans…any suggestion?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quick update: Case arrived today!

Cool, more PC New Yorkers

 

Nice build! @marto despises Corsair SP 120s, so maybe he could recommend good fans.

Very nice...that case costs a fortune I'm very suprised you couldn't get a higher overclock but still good

Great MS paint job although you need to work on your cross-hatching :3

Silverstone AP123?

Oh wow, I had no idea they made a white C70. Anyways as for fans I'll definitely suggest the Gentle Typhoons for radiators, they're fantastic.

Hopefully I will have enough discover point to buy 12 of them      1450rpm?

Most people who go out of their way to look for GTs usually get GT AP15s (1,850 RPM).

I've only used the 1850rpm ones but I'm sure the AP-14's are great as well, either way I would throttle both way down.

Looks very nice, i would kill for a SM8 case.

But by the time it's in my country the whole case is about $1500 :(

Wow! that stinks   shipping was 50$ for me. I'm assuming import tax is what raises the price that high?

Yep, the case itself is only about $600 for the configuration i want. Then comes the shipping. And the import tax is what kills it.

Import tax is about 49% extra. Then i have to get it shipped from the docks to my house etc etc.

Maybe when i go on vacation in the US, take it in my carry-on bagage

 

A mate of mine orderd a luggage rack for a Harley in the US, he made sure the company tagged it as "warranty item"

Then the customs won't take tax, because it has already been paid. But the problem is, sometimes it works, sometimes i doesn't.

I don't want to take that chance.

UPDATE:

When I get more time hopefully this thread can be more orginized sorry for the messy post and huge pictures.
