...and box of Eskom. Don't forget that box of Eskom...

GL with the build OP! I like the idea of naming it a Carbonite Build; pays homage :)

Gonna be a sexy setup once it's done

You going to get some custom cable extensions?
 
Amazing case and LEDs are a great edition
Enjoy

So build is complete. Cable management still needs some attention. Here are some bad photos. 😊

I have now opted for another GTX 1070 will post pictures later. I now need custom sleeves and better cable management.

How is the space of the case? As I'm considering this case but unsure if x99 will fit as I also have a H115i to be installled. I noticed you have the H115i. Just want to make sure don't want to be cramped up in a case. Nice build btw [emoji41]

I'll let the OP put his 2 cents in. But it's a decently sized case. Nothing like a 780T, however will fit a H115i, as long as you don't have high profile ram, then everything will be fine :). But it definitely is a beaut to look at.

Thanks Bud :) see the issue that I'm having is the 780T is to big and the case itself is heavy none the less I need something smaller which can provide sufficient space for all the components in my sig.

There is ample space. I am running a X99 board with no issues. The second GPU does not have a lot of clearance at the bottom but this is because I am running them in PCIe 1 and 3. Temps are still good none the less. Cable management can be a bit tricky, but that is nothing some time cannot fix. I would recommend this case with a Phanteks LED strip for morrrre FPS of course.
 
Hi [MENTION=36885]MellowYellow[/MENTION]

Planning on getting the same screen and case soon. Your thoughts and experience with the screen so far?
