    Well there are two separate bays that hold three hard drives each so if you are not going to be putting in more than three hard drives then you can just take the bay out completely and then you've loads of room, my 750 went in no probs with bay in place (photos were with earlier GPU GTS8600)

    Great monitor, i have the same as well, can't go back to anything smaller. And the dpi is perfect, same dpi as my old 20" display.

    Great setup. What make and size are the other two screens? And what GPU running it all. Thanks.

    Thanks. They're LG 24 inch 1920x1200 monitors, about 5 years old, I plan on replacing them soonish. I have a 980ti running it all, needed something beefy for 4k.

    These arrived in the post today. My initial impression is fairly good and will probably put in another order as this was really a tester to see what there were like.

    Just bought a few of the more unusual fittings as I have plenty straight fittings.

    Google told me they are essentially re-branded bitspower fittings and from comparison with the couple of bitspower fittings I have the quality feels the same.

    They work out a fair bit cheaper than Bitspower fittings when ordered from Aliexpress. The only downside is you will have to wait about 3 weeks for delivery (just checked my emails and my order was posted on 9 August).

    The bags are resealable also which I thought was a nice touch!

    Planning on doing a new watercooling build in this. Nothing too fancy just something to keep me entertained in the evenings!

    Those fittings look really nice. I assume there are other colours? I'm debating doing a stupid-high-end build around Christmas or later (Haswell-E, Pascal SLI, hard tubing) and wouldn't mind saving a little money on stuff like this.

    Nice specs. Using the same chip and board myself. The 5960x is absolute killer overclocked. I think most chips can handle 4.5GHz OC, which is what I have mine running at, and I'm barely pushing the volts.

    I've just been running at stock so far and am getting between 100 - 144fps in all my games @ 1440p so no real need to OC anything just yet though no doubt I will just to see.
    Don't fancy doubling the electric bill or causing the lights in the apartment building to flicker ;-)
