Hello!

I was inspired by all the new cool 900d builds out there, so two months ago I decided to create a new gaming machine, but my challenge was to do all the bends in acrylic tube...no rotary or angle fittings!! I ended up only using 2 rotary fittings...I was close ;): It was an amazing learning experience!

The build is almost finished so I wanted to share a few pics!

At the heart of the build is a Maximus VI Extreme!!

At the moment I am 16th in the world in 3DMark Firestrike!! for 3X GPU and 43rd in the world overall! And these benchmarks were run on air before I actually built the machine...I believe I have significant headroom still left!. The really cool part is that I have the only Haswell Z87 build in the entire top 50!

Learning curve is not steep..After the first couple I got a pretty good handle on it. The key is to measure, measure again, then again, and then another time :o!!

Thanks!
