This forum has become too mundane and boring in the last few years. People here usually brag and waste time on showcasing their ROG colored components and pay no mind to normal builds. Unless your case or components are carved to look and showcase ROG products and colors, and you've spent significant amounts of money and time, you will get no love...it's just the ROG way of saying: been there, done that.

Other types, like people who are too jealous of your rig, and instead of leaving a nice comment or constructive criticism about your rig, end up mocking you for the amount of money spent. These are the jealous type, unlucky ones, who barely have a dime to their name, and who have nothing better to do but troll the forum and bitch and mock your build.

Either way, don't feel bad! You should be proud that you have gone through the trouble of procuring the hardware and putting together your rig. I certainly, can appreciate that you have worked hard to do so.

Now, with regard to your rig - I have to say that I am not very impressed. When I first read the subject of your posting "Fantasma nella Macchina", I admit that I was very much excited to see what your rig would look like. Understanding a bit of italian, I must say the name is very catchy " The ghost inside the machine". But when I opened the post, I found nothing that resembled the name. Without being too insensitive, I must say that I do get the ghost thing, being all white. But frankly, you could have done a bit more to showcase the ghost.

I think you should explore some water -cooling options. Take a look at www.frozencpu.com and you can even call Joe, who would be able to help you put together some nice water-cooling options, perhaps even something more elegant which could emphasize the ghost in your machine.

Otherwise, nice job putting together 2 x 980 in sli. This is a serious piece of hardware, and I'm sure you are enjoying your Swift running every game at high res...

I take your points to heart and thank you for taking the time to comment,as my opening comments reflect I clearly stated my rig was not "fancy" ,this is my first Intel based rig ,she is a work in progress....I am no way finished.The title was not chosen because of color,my rig randomly turned herself on and off,would boot...shut down and reboot...hence her name.I chose the color because I was going to airbrush a black/white checkerboard theme.I will be looking into custom water cooling when I decide to overclock,and that will be a first for me as well.As for you not being impressed....was never my intention to impress anyone when I posted,I wanted input...suggestions....questions....not eewwwwsss and Aaahhsss...she is a very basic build,nothing fancy...but really enjoy her when gaming.

I spent the money all at once on this build,my past 3 or 4 AMD builds I was upgrading a piece of hardware(PSU/mobo/video cards/memory)every two or three months which was quite expensive over time.I shot my load here and hope the uber expensive x99 hardware holds.....and pray I can get a few years without upgrading anything.
