I thought Enermax was one of the cheap brands people are supposed to avoid?
Isn't 7 radiators a bit overkill unless you have like northbridge coolers, 2 GPU blocks, hard drive blocks, and a cpu block?
Bill Owen would be proud ... that you bought his buttons.

I've just been informed that WaterCoolingUK is having rather big hosting problems, and the shop is going to be down for about a week, which is a pretty big kick in the balls for me as it's where I'm ordering most of my WC supplies from

I use KustomPCs a lot, but they don't have a lot of the stuff I need at this time
Looks like it will be a good looking build but really..£450 or $650 for that case? Seems a bit steep. How are you going to go about doing the wire management with nowhere to route anything?
woah that looks awesome.

I assume that without the actual comptuer hardware, the setup will be up in the 1500$ range. After everything is installed and all the cool flashing lights are installed it will probably be upwards of 3500$. Hooray for capitalism! Guess it would be nice to have your own custom case. As john edwards always says "its not fun to build computers over 1000$" because you really don't need to budget anything.

As john edwards always says "its not fun to build computers over 1000$" because you really don't need to budget anything.[/QUOTE] Most of us don't have the required tools to make, large perfectly measured aluminum cases. Even if I did, or you for that matter, I doubt the result would be anywhere near as good as a case from MM, who do it for a living. The 'lights' budget consists of around £20. If you really think, that the only fun in building computers is budgeting, you're seriously misguided Comparing this build in US dollars doesn't mean shit, as you get so much less for your money in the UK when buying hardware, esp with the current fuck-up economic situation. To this end, I've decided I'm not posting prices for [b]anything[/b] in the build. There is always some whiney kid who doesn't like it
[QUOTE=apwd007;13507162]you get so much less for your money in the UK when buying hardware[/QUOTE] I miss the 2:1 ratio :/ People keep on about $500 builds, I'd LOVE to be able to import stuff and make something worth even mentioning for £300. At the old rate, that would've basically been the build + shipping, now its basically the same price or more to import stuff.
Wayhey! Glad to see it arrived, the waiting was killing me! Did my cables come with it? The logo is perfect! i knew it would be :P
You should definitely sue for copyright infringement then claim all the rights to the computer.

£4 for a whole PC is probably the best bang/buck you can get, comrade!
My computer costed me $1500 to build and it only has an HD4850, E8400, etc. :( In total with taxes and shipping and extra costs for upkeep and replacements and wireless networking it has been well over $2000 if not approaching $2300ish.
What are the specs of the computer? Plus you should ship it to Garry, for his birthday.
Nice, you have a way better build than Ajacks.
[QUOTE=Luke-NAESA®;13563567]Nice, you have a way better build than Ajacks.[/QUOTE] I hope to god it will be, since he's got so much money to spend on it and it's a new generation of hardware. But come on Luke, that's a pretty childish post. Don't spread your garbage from one thread to another.
