This build has been running a while but only recently got the ASUS z77 board in it,as this was up in the air i didnt want to start it here to have the board be something different.

This is the second Z77 Sabertooth i have used for customer builds......I does like themz! 😄

Another month and another build,this time for an OC3D member,Omega Stalker.
This build is based around the massive CosmosII from Coolermaster,a very well appointed beast of a case!

The theme running thru this is a white/black/copper colour scheme with some icy touches...











These are coming out for 2 240 Koolance rads...









Looks about right for 2 large bays....





Magoo approves this post!



And the mandatory Cosmos 'bird of prey' pose.

And the first backplate is done...

Copper and white,cant lose!

o now i know that this board is a good one,we can start with the paint...



Alphacool block with a painted mount.





Im not normally one for fancy TIM but i just had to try the current best..



Board in its new home!







Little trims as i didnt want to see bare joins or edges.





So all need to really do inside is the panel covering the drives and other little details but its coming along now.

Externally,The res cover needs to be drilled out and the doors need doing,cant wait to tackle them!

Unfortunately both the XFX 7970's were DOA and as they were second hand the seller wants nothing to do with it....so Omega Stalker is hunting ref spec cards,if anyone has a pair that they want to sell cheap then please PM me.

The cavalry has arrived!

Omega Stalker found the money for 2 new 7970's

Sad face [off]







The pump is going to be plumbed in between the cards to clean it up a little,shiny copper in there will be a looker,you can see why i didnt bother painting the HS,you wont actually see it.



The cards sag quite badly so new brackets will have to be made up,no drama there.

One of the pair of blocks and plates.





The plate looks mint next to that board,I think I will spend some time blocking up tonight! (I love that bit....XD)
