Finally got and built the build ive wanted for so long!

 

Build went OK at the best of times! Not a good idea to build hazy headed, would of destroyed it if AP werent there!

 

Most time spent trying to figure out how to put back together the heatsink bracket after we dropped it and it fell apart.. Also trying to connect the fan to the Hyper212+ ... next time I wont rip off the Anti-vibration pads.

 

Anyway...

I5 2500K
2x4GB Gskill Ripjaws
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3
Hyper212+
LG Blu-Ray
Corsair TX850M PSU

Will be getting my GPU next month when get paid - GTX570

 

Exciting times ahead :kaola:

HAHA yeah talk about a messy build. I AM NEVER EVER going to suggest a HYPER 212+ cooler EVER again. Biggest ball-ache of a CPU Cooler to install PERIOD! Literally took us about an hour - hour and a half just to clip the fans on and connect the back-plate!

Finished product looks great though :) Cable management was perfect :)

Storm Enforcer was a really nice case to build inside, everything fitted great and all the tool-less designs worked perfectly. Was a shame not to see a roof fan included, but never mind :)
