Sell the H80 then, extra cash right? :icon_mrgreen:

Nice speakers. I have the same set. Amazing sound for the price.

I noticed that you don't have a hard drive listed. I recommend ordering one later (when prices go down). For storage and also for Windows File Paging. You don't want that on your SSD or you'll kill them.

sand paper and some elbow grease :D

went from 220, 400, 800, 1000, 2000 then some rubbing compound. after the initial sanding of each grit i swap to wet sanding with that grit. also this has to be done on a perfect flat surface so i found it easiest to tape the sand paper down to a sheet of glass. here is my STORM water block it turned out a bit better.

i might do that!
now just waiting on my Christmas bonus so i can get more parts :)
might cut a hole into the side window and add a 120mm fan to get more air flow over the graphics cards.

I have been contemplating this idea as well.
