    i dont really need airflow in this build, the only airflow i need are on my radiators, and all the intake fans have clear open spots available. The vrms on my mobo and the ram heatsinks are the only thing that would require airflow in those pictures, but i have waterblocks for the ram and the motherboard in a box next to me, so airflow is basically a non issue at this point.

    For air cooled builds yeah definitely i wouldnt use an sth10 for air cooling ever.

    Nah, definitely not, but that's not what the STH10 is for. You'd be extremely silly to even buy one if you don't plan on water cooling, that's what the case is made for haha!

    Beautiful setup, I can't wait to see it done!

    yeah buying a caselabs for aircooling is like lol :P sure theyre great but they really shine when watercooling :P

    ill post updated pics today, working on redoing some of the acrylic tube runs since some were a few degrees off.

    I... damn. Mr. Zangu, can we have some more pictures? Better lit and close-ups? :3

    Also, I think we finally have a CYANOTICAL-BEATER.

    @Zangu besides the amazing setup, those are really good photos considering the low light. Most "casual" cameras pixelate the crap out of photos when forced to take in low-light with no flash :S

    Well... You certainly won't be able to lay back with a chair like this ( one of the reasons I have the secondary PC ) but it's still pretty neat.

    I'll see what I can do about some more Pictures, I guess you'd like to see internal shots?

    Cyanotical-Beater? I guess someone else's Rig?

    Nope... These are standard IKEA Lamps with warm LED Lights so they're not even dimmable.
    Most of the effect is probably caused by the Camera but it gets pretty close to that.

    I usually take these shots with the lowest possible ISO of 100 - Not being very familiar with photography this gives me the best results with the light conditions I have ( don't have any more light sources than those IKEA Lamps which is not enough for really good photography )

    @Zangu, with that lighting it looks like pritchard's office from Deus Ex HR. ^^

    I see leaving "Careless Whisper" and its saxophone sequence on loop in the background was a good idea when viewing that post. Dear lord that's nice, and holy shitballs the Cintiq 24" is huge. Hadn't thought of just how big it is.

    Low ISO and stupid long exposure time will counteract this with ease. I usually take my photos using a 15 second exposure or the like when the only illumination is my monitor.

    Internal, more-detailed, as well as your shelf, I barely made out some WoW/Diablo/etc Collector's boxes. I want to see what else there is! Looks nicely displayed!

    Cyanotical is, who I would say, our resident kingpin of computers, essentially. Mr. i7-4930K (was 3960X before, and 990X before that) + GTX 690 quad + 32GB RAM + 512GB SSD... etc etc. Oh, and I believe a Dell U2711 and KRK Rokit8 monitors with sub. :P I think you are the first person to actually put him into second place for elaborate and awesome rig!

    He might have you beat on audio though. :P

    Triple U3011's and a 24" Cintiq is almost $6000 in displays alone.

    Sheesh.

    I've been cleaning my desk today... So I sat down and took pictures of the machine.

    My current setup ... although it will soon cease to exist because I'll be moving soon ... i'll post another shot once my new gaming room is fully set up.







    And the inside of my PC: (CPU cooler upgrade inc ... ^^)
