NZXT H440 Full Watercooled

After spending a week or so with this awesome case I think I have decide it is one of my favourite cases, there is not a lot I would want or need to change about it. I did have some troubles with the motherboard which I had in the build as it had to be RMA'd which was a bit disappointing as it went with the colour theme of the build. Luckily I had a ASUS Maximus VI Gene to go inside of this awesome case.

There is two Samsung EVO 250GB SSD's in RAID 0 (Windows), another two Samsung EVO 250GB SSD's RAID 0 (Storage) and finally a Samsung 840 PRO 128GB SSD (OS X Mavericks). The storage drives work with both windows and os x which makes work a breeze.

I also have had issues with getting my waterblock's from both Frozen CPU and PC Case Gear, which has really put me behind with this build. I have removed the 360 Rad from the top of the case and replaced it with a Coolgate 240 rad, this seems to do the job just as well as my 360 rad.

I did manage to light this little beauty up with a LED strip and a nice little remote that allows me to change the colours and lighting effects.

The Little Maximus VI Hackintosh


The Little Maximus VI Hackintosh is a sweet little build of mine which of course uses the ASUS Maximus VI Impact which now is one of my favorite motherboards. For this build I used the Aerocool DS Dead Silent case with white and black. When using this case the only problem I had was with the power supply, you really can only fit a PSU thats about 160mm long without cutting out the HDD cage. For the rest of my parts list i'm using:

ASUS Maximus VI Impact
Aerocool DS
Corsair Domminator GT
Corsair H75
2x Samsung 128GB 840 Pro SSDs in RAID 0
1TB Seagate SSHD
Gigabyte R9 270X

These parts make a pretty sweet little build and looks amazing. I have also chosen to use Bitfenix Sleeved cables and sticking to a white/red/black theme.
This build is going to have a custom water loop and a GTX 780 added in the near future. At the moment this little beast is running amazingly on a triple monitor set up.
