Are you going to tidy up the cables around the psu or maybe fit a shroud, also am I going nuts or have you only put one stick of ram in at the mo.

Keep up the good work.

also am I going nuts or have you only put one stick of ram in at the mo.

As can be seen in the first picture, Touringmugen has two sticks... why only one inserted?

Otherwise it is a nice start!

Nice. Real nice. I can hardly wait to point to your review with the next question on this board .. Thank You.c.

[Touringmugen]

yes, only 1 stick of ram in there. I tried to follow the Asus MB Manual suggestions, also because I read multiple online discussion and troubleshootings that suggested to just have 1 ram stick for initial boot. After I updated the Bios 0903 ( via EZ Flash in Bios ( MB Manual ), installed Windows7 64 bits, updated my drivers ( Intel Chipset, USB 3.0, Asmedia, LAN - all from ASUS Website ), then I insert my 2nd ram stick. on 1st try, i recognized my 2nd stick without a glitch too!
love my build so far. hope to get more pics in future.
