SilverstoneTJ11|z79|GTX 780

I finally acquired my dream case: The SIlverstone TJ11. Ever since I saw it in Linus' ultimate water cooling guide, i knew that was the case that i could die with. I absolutely love Silverstone's cases. I used to use the Raven RV02 and that thing was sweet. Passed it on to a buddy and he loves it too. The 90 degree motherboard lets his HEAVY GTX 580 DirectCU hang without any sagging.
 

Anywho, right now, my system is on my test bench while i acquire the rest of the water cooling parts.
Spec list: 

Asus P9X79 WS

i7 3930k

16 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 1600mhz

PNY GTX 780

Asus Xonar Essence STX

Corsair AX750

Intel 520 120 gb ssd

Seagate Barracuda 2 TB

I am actually not using these radiators. I am going to use a 480 and a thinner 120. The 120 in the picture is pretty thick and almost touches the ram in the case. It hides too much of the Motherboard. I am going to go with these radiators.

And just make sure you run your RAM in the correct places. I understand you couldn't have done that with that noctua cooler, but you should place the RAM in the blue slots first.

Thanks for the tip! I am going to be running a waterblock on the cpu socket so I wont have the clearance issues. I was surprised when it the memory ran perfectly fine in the wrong slots LOL!

Ah nice! any particular reason you are choosing the tj11 over the tj07? I'm only asking because they both have the bottom compartment.

I agree black if you are using normal tubing. That would look awesome. I don't know it is about this build but I feel like it's gonna be nice looking. Maybe its that RAM...
