!!Updates!!
The SDFC-1 has undergone some updates. The original configuration was based of Intel's X58 platform which carried a Nehalem based architecture.
The new internals updates are as follows:
What about cooling? Well, that is where this build differs from the first build. This build is entirely water cooled using a custom water loop. The water loop is built entirely from EKWB parts and is based of PETG rigid tubing that has been heated and turned to make the respective and needed bends.
The water cooling loop cools down CPU VRMs, CPU and video card. The water cooling loop irradiates heat away using a 360 (120mmx3) 45mm-thick radiator and a 120mm 45mm-thick radiator. This ensures that each cooled component has access to the heat dissipation capacity of two 120 rad slots.
Pictrues coming soon!

Hello, in the time I was gone, I decided to build a little project. I have saved a fair amount of money (this originally started as a two man build, but my mate backed out due to personal reasons) that I plan on spending.
I have gathered the following components which I will buy in the next month or so. In any case, I put it here since I expect the community to pitch in and help me out decide which parts will work together in perfect harmony, what parts will provide a boost and which parts are plain wrong.
Yes, I seriously plan to get the following. Also, I gave it a name that means something for me, Macross. It is the name of my favorite sci-fi ship when I was small. So, I intend this to live up to its name.
Now, on with the parts:
