[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/Mcvvoei.jpg[/bimg]Always Bench Test before full assembly!
[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/jRr7YvG.jpg[/bimg]Temps look good
[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/rOQmVVy.jpg[/bimg]My case is fully modular, which makes assembly really easy.
[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/Xx5twWF.jpg[/bimg]Power supply slides in and out, and backplates make cable management easy.
[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/db6VBTc.jpg[/bimg]Most Everything in place. Just need to install my SSDs.
If you are like me and have way too many HDDs and have no room for all of your SSDs, then I highly recommend this:
http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-AC325-4S-Aluminum-Converter-Mounting/dp/B005MICDX2/
and this:
http://www.amazon.com/ORICO-AC52535-1S-Aluminum-5-25-inch/dp/B005OJFASY/
So you can mount 4 SSDs from a 5.25 (DVD drive) bay
[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/ALb12o1.jpg[/bimg]All done. Needs more LED fans
[bimg]http://i.imgur.com/oqhRdmw.jpg[/bimg] It works! Although it takes me another day to figure out why I can't get SLI AND my sound card to work at the same time. Apparently theres a known issue with x99 and Xonar Essence STX sound cards. Go figure. Weirdest thing is the fix, after boot put it into sleep mode, then take it out. Works.

I know, I know. You are probably saying "But Wafflezz! Why do the Japanese have such brown nipples, and aren't GeForce 400 series GPUs from like 2009? Get with the times!"
I'm way ahead of you
