    Posted: 20 Jun 2013 at 11:21am
As of five minutes ago, my world just went to stage 5.

Made some minor changes since stage 4. Upgraded the PSU to the 1500W silverstone (read some nice reviews).

The techs were (unfortunately) unable to fit the chipset cooling on account of the triple loop, however, I am still very excited about the copper piping for the liquid cooling on the cpu and cards.

Shout out to Gerardo and Jasmine who were both friendly and helpful in keeping me sane.

Looking forward to writing a review for the build when she arrives.

Right now I am planning 3 Dell UltraSharp U3011 Monitors but I dont have the 3rd yet.

Its a gaming rig 100%. I run alot of empire, shogun and soon rome II (total wars). I usually mod those to have more epic type battles of 100k+ men on screen. Crysis3 and alot of the Vram heavy newer games.

3rd titan, I imagine will still eat all that for lunch
