My original plan was blue lighting, however ive opted for red and orange. I still need to get some Red LED's to replace the top blue ambient on the top of the case.

Next step is water and a few extra mods. ... but that will have to wait until funds are available.

Crits/Idea's welcome :)

Lovely stuff m8........yeah water is a must......nobody should be on air in this day n age......especially how cheap those corsair water jobbys are going for.

Very nice mate :up:
Have you ran any benchmarks yet?

Not yet. just sorting out some BSOD issues first lol

So how are you getting on mate? Did the reinstall of the AMD drivers fix the issue completely?
What clock speed are you running now?

To fix the issue I had to disable flash hardware and not have GPUZ running in background.

GPU:
Mem: 6450Mhz
Core: 1120 Mhz

CPU @ 4.4Ghz

Nice mate, yeah NVIDIA Drivers are having issues with Flash and Firefox apparently.
I'm just having the 36 hour TDR with my GTX 770.
