But it will look awesome till it dies from overheating. Then you have an excuse to upgrade. Couldn't be better.

I'm finally building an over-the-top gaming rig!

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I agree about the stuff. The main reason for g etting it running before finishing is to find out if everything actually runs before the RMA period is up. The CPU has 90 days I believe (I could be wrong) and I kind of want to return it to NewEgg for a replacement and say it's giving me watchdog bluescreens when minorly overclocked (which is the truth), and see if they'll let me RMA it. If not, then well I'm stuck with an OKAY processor, but not exactly what I want. Kind of disappointed I didn't go with an E5-16xx CPU, like the 10-core CPU- they're supposed to be binned higher than the i7 counter parts and they have better features such as ECC support...
Maybe next year.
Looks nice but most games nowadays you have to beg for the devs to put in proper SLI support and hope to high hell the thing scales well. Hope that 2nd 980 doesn't turn into window dressing.
Thanks DarkEd!
This is the exact reason why I decided to only go dual-SLI instead of tri/quad. The scaling past two cards isn't great, (can be downright terrible depending on developer-support), and you don't always have SLI support to boot. I wonder if I can use the Step-up program and get the Radeon 3xx series gpus when they come out as a replacement for the GTX980's. They've lovely but I'm still annoyed with the fact that EK hasn't made a waterblock for them yet.

EKWB Just released the waterblocks for the GTX980 classifieds. I'm redoing the waterloop here next week. 
Finished it finally. Not sure if you guys are following anymore but, it took forever but it's done!
sweet.
guy I know recently finished putting this together:
and since you're probably wondering, this is the coolant he's using to get that effect.

and these are the specs.

I have balls of Depleted Uranium
If I could fuse the sleek crystalline look you got with that acrylic blocks and pipes...
with a bio-luminescent looking green version of that goop.

I'd be quite content with my PC's look for quite a while.

And the steam punkish aspect of these copper pipes.sweet.

Those look badass! I really need to get my good camera lens back and try to get some nice photos of this new case and all that stuff. I need to pick it up today.
Are watercooling kits easy to set up these days? I'm still relying on good old plastic fans to keep my PC cool.
You can buy AiO (All in One) kits, but I don't like those solutions.
Custom waterloops are where you get the best cooling performance at. You can select the size of radiators you want, the waterblocks you want, etc.
I'd say watercooling has gotten a lot easier, however it still takes a bit of planning, but there are now so many companies making computer-watercooling equipment, you don't have to like pull radiators from fridges or anything ridiculous like you'd have to do in the past. The market has grown and the options available for how you can configure a loop is limitless.
