My build

[Barcode]

I'm real proud of this and thought I'd share some pics.

I think that the all black look came out nicely.

This build is complete and I'm going to try to withstand to do any more upgrades.

loving the all black

I would though take the 24-pin through one of the grommets closer to it as well as the GPU power cable down the front through that grommet below the card

other than that, looking awesome

any lighting planned?

^^ what he said.

Awesome build man!

One more thing, why is your GPU held together with cable ties?

Its more rigid that way, Asus fixed that massive heatsink to the card with only 4 screws around the core of the gpu, this resulted in the heatsink not making proper contact with the core, so I made some imprvements, including spacers to make the screws fit more tightly. it worked properly at standard core speeds, but after my mod the temp went down and the OC stability up, I personally find it ridiculous that I have to resort to back yard mechanics to improve upon Asus's engineering. Its a common problem with the first of the 7950 DCII.

Thanks for the tips regarding the cabling.

I haven't considered any lighting options. I keep the pc in my bed room, so lights will only annoy me when I want to go to sleep.

Unless if I can find something that can easily be turned of.

well like those RGB strips ie if you have the controller can easily be turned on/off and I can picture that build with some subtle white lighting looking awesome.

I definately need to look into this, sounds like a plan. Thanks

WOW Awesome

I would personally get one of those white led strips and put it at the top out of sight. I think that would make it ever awesomererererer

Really looks good!

I got the 600T white with those white led strips. Don't get the warm white. Think it's called cool white, they are very bright believe me.
