Mods:
Since the LD case didn't have the all of the mounting points for the motherboard, I added them to the motherboard tray of the case. All 4 SSD's are custom mounted. Blue led light used to highlight the entire case and there is white leds to show off the SDD's. All the fans have been resleeved.

So the build is complete, it took 4 solid days to complete.... It's intended as a high end workstation build for photo and video editing.

wooow nice rig, maybe you could add some custom sleeving

 

[rocfusion]

Thx, all of the fans, have custom sleeves. Just didn't do the PSU, which was more of an time constraint. For the rest its a rock solid system.

The upside down Motherboard isn't doing it for me, I'd be concerned over hot air from one CPU blowing through the next, instead of facing the fans up and blowing directly out the top.

 

[rocfusion]

That is not a worry, since the fans are setup with positive pressure. The front and top fans are blowing in and the only exhaust fan is at the rear. CPU temps are between 40-50°. there literally a 1-2 difference between to the two CPU's.

Amazing! I don't think your CPU cooler setup is bad at all, as there is enough space between them. The upside-down MB has a lot of advantages, too - CPU's stay cooler at the bottom of the case, shorter distances to connect PSU cables and GPU exhaust going straight up - you might want to consider reversing those top fans therefore. All in all a very powerful and clean machine as well as superb lighting effects. Great job!
