Allright, that's what i play with:

 

CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Eight-Core-Processor running at 3.9 GHz, turboboosted to 4.7 if needed

normally at 0.85V, multiplier 7.00 in idle/desktop/office work (1500 MHz)

 

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H110 (2 x 140 mm fans)

 

Mainboard: ASUS M%A99X EVO Rev. 2.0

 

RAM: 16 GB DDR3 at 1728

 

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti

 

SSD: 240 BG for games and os

 

HDD: 1 TB for everything else

 

Monitor: Acer S243HLCbmii - 24", 8ms

 

Mouse: Logitech G500 (old but good)

 

Keyboard: Logitech G105 (not that old but simple :D)

 

Sound: Some Logitech speakers that have seen far better days in the 1800s...

 

All that (except for the last 4) is stuffed in (and onto) and Corsair Carbide Series 300R.

 

 

After my old CPU Cooler was not able to keep the system running (Arctic Freezer Extreme), i had to check out new ways - and decided to use a liquid cooling. Since (for those who haven't noticed yet;-)) i like Corsair, i looked at the onces they sell - and decided to go for the big one. just in case, so that there is some OC possible without burning the CPU within seconds...

 

I ordered it and by the day i got it, i figured out a little problem: there was no way to fit it into my case! so i thought about getting a new case, but found a way to integrate the radiator (280x140mm!!) in that case. after some "casemodding" (removing the top, removing the grid, cutting it so that the tubes fit thru) i planted the two fans inside the case and the radiator on top of it.

 

works out more then good, but looks a little strange.

 

thats why i decided to build a new case (i wont buy one, it's time to show what im capabale of :-D)

 

i'll let u know when its finished!

 

by now you'll have to live with this:

let me hear ur thoughts!

I have a really similar setup but I've got it in a CMStacker 830 case and I only have the h100 cooler. Same processor and clockspeeds but I've got the EVGA GTX670 4GB Superclocked. I decided since I saved by going AMD, that I'd splurge for the beast video card (at the time).
