I will, I will. Be building it on the 25th as don't wanna rush and ruin it Video of me building it and photos etc !!! Nervous about a couple of things so any videos or help would be good 1) installation of the S36 2) Do I need to use plastic grommets etc so the case doesn't short out the motherboard etc. How does that work now?? @Sunnyknight or @Arthur or anyone else Also not seen the top hard drive cage being used so do they have a sata data and power back plane or need sata power and data as required for the four drives on the phantom 820 case ?

I don't feel so bad now as got the gtx 760 Thought he had two gtx 980's in sli lol

@Dos_Box What gpu etc ?

CPU BOSS ( http://www.cpuboss.com )

I am not even gonna attempt a custom water cooled PC 1) Due to cost 2) Because I would end up with leaks on the connectors / pipes and water and electric just don't mix 3) Because due to point 2 would cost me a lot of money to replace any items where there were any leaks It is an i7 - 4790k @Sunnyknight

lol yes exactly this - Got the MX 4 from amazon and they were selling the 8g ( 8 gram tube ) for less than the 4 gram tube, so got an 8 gram one instead I presume 8G as in 8 Grams ( whatever measurement it is meant to be ) Looking forward to all this stuff now - can finally build my pc once I have gotten all the parts, selected free delivery options where possible, aria charged me £9 for delivery, so should get a few items tomorrow Totally excited !!!

Parts from aria were a bit more so all in all aprox £1350 MS keyboard was aprox £23 from ebuyer so got that instead of from amazon

All ordered now and yes an i7 4790k ??

Going with the ST2000DM001 from aria http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/2TB+Seagate+Barracuda+ST2000DM001+3.5%22+SATA+III+Hard+Drive+-+HDD+?productId=48301&source=pcpartpicker This a good drive for steam : 2tb instead of 1tb as well ??

Yes not tried to power it on for a long time so cant remember what it does etc but plenty of youtube / ifixit guides ref the 360

Which performance drive ? Apparently the 1tb black isn't a true black drive ? Is there a 1 or 2tb drive thats a similar price ?

RROD ?? Whats that mean

http://www.kitguru.net/site-news/announcements/carl/winner-of-asus-sabertooth-z97gtx760-dcuii-and-seasonic-platinum-860w/ I have a dvd rw here Couldn't afford a nas and nas drives

SSD For OS and Apps SSHD instead of a wd black for steam Two wd reds in raid one

I thought AS 5 had a long setting period Im going to use the included tim from the S36 for cpu. I have an xbox 360 so getting the mx 4 for that or if i run out of the tim included with the S36

After a lot of talking with @Sunnyknight and @Arthur - I think this is my finalised list of items aside from a few items I am getting from Amazon Intel Core i7-4790K, NZXT Phantom 820 (Black) - Jan 2015 Build Final - RenegadeMe82's Saved Part List - PCPartPicker United Kingdom What do you think to the mouse etc ? Thanks

Building a pc as well so Just wanna say thanks to both @Arthur and @Sunnyknight for there help so far Sent you another pm SunnyKnight Cheers

@Sunnyknight - sent pm's Getting enough money to buy all the parts I need soon but need help please :-)

Not able to find the computer name in AD? If you are giving it the same name, surely would be better to remove existing computer accounts out of AD first before re imaging anyway ?

How do you manage that ? A greased weasel lol

GPU Tweak ??

^^^^^ This as well , think I used software to control fans on a desktop pc here and was a bit clunky and made the cpu work harder to control the fans etc, exit'ed out of the software and was fine after that

I was hoping to at a later date get more fans so I could setup the Kelvin S36 in a push / pull config and when it is under full load or chugging away, I don't want all the fans sounding like a plane taking off so I can use the physical touch screen fan controller to control the six or so fans without having to use software and alt tab or whatever To start with I will use the onboard motherboard PWM connectors, haven't had to do any fan controlling as not had a desktop PC in a long time , nor have I built any PC's in a long time either ( years ) so almost like Im a noob again. I did say maybe ref fan controllers etc , unless there is somewhere that I can cheaply get 1 to 3 way pwm fan splitter cables and use the PWM connectors on the motherboard ? As stated above the external fan controller looks fancy and is touch screen etc Not flaming anyone - just purely stating my opinion etc, doesn't mean everyone has to agree with me

@Arthur Is there a Fractal Design case that will fit a 360mm AIO Rad / CPU Cooler , 4 hard drives ( 1 ssd, two wd red 3.5" in raid one and one 1tb sshd ) and be able to install one optical drive . I may look at getting fan controller and LED Lit fans at a later date so presumably enough space to do that unless I get an external fan controller similar to this which uses a PCI type card : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-000-NX Currently looking at the Corsair Air 540 Case
