Quick question... I have some 91% rubbing alcohol... Will that be OK to clean components before I reinstall them? Mainly for the thermal paste and the fans. Going to use air for the boards.

I just seen that, that's awesome. Good that should solve any issue with the GPU.

I will get the cables nice and tidy. Since this kinda looks like a tower laid on its side there isn't a top vent. The vents/fans are all around the ends. There's only two appropriate slot for the 980 I think and that would be top two as the MB is SLI ready. So the GPU fans will be towards the...

I will try that when I get to that point. That would have the H75 pulling air in (warm) and another 120mm pulling in across the MB towards the GPU. The 80mm's will be blowing on the air coming from the H75 towards the CPU, which should cool that air. Then on the opposite side 1x 120mm pushing...

OK, thanks for the info, I think I've read that article as I have been reading alot about this case. My main reason for going with it the dimensions, it and that Pelican go well together. I figured I could deal with cooling one way or another. I have already ordered this case to keep me from...

I was actually looking at the im2720, and that should be perfect. Im pretty sure there's no chance this could be carry on so I've been planning on checked luggage. I really hate the thought of it getting tossed around but that's what the Pelican is for. I am planning on going all SSD so I don't...

I'll have some pics when I get back to rebuild this thing. I will look into the lock you mentioned, I didn't notice a lock at all. Thanks again.

That's good to hear, and thanks for the advice. I noticed they have a GD10 case that is just a tad more roomy so that is looking like my pick unless I can I can find something better with similar or better dimensions. I'm having to look at every individual cases dimensions since they are never...

I've discovered a different case that would be easier to fit in a travel case. I also haven't seen any issue with water cooling and flying (not carry-on). So I've revised my parts list. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Major_Spanky/saved/2yWxFT It says the cooler won't work but I've seen the 75...

I'm currently looking at this setup http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Major_Spanky/saved/2yWxFT got some more compatability issues to look into, but this is where I'm at so far. Thinking of trying a waterless heat sink and declocking from 4.7 back to 4.0 to see how it runs. I'm pretty sure my H100...

OK... Well I'll post a build here when I narrow down for criticism to see if I overlooked anything

I didn't think everything in my current build would fit in a small box. Especially the CPU cooler. I will look around for a good tough case. As for transport, if I'm able to save that much by just cannibalising my current system then I'll just buy a pelican case for it, problem solved lol...

Hello, I need some advice and or suggestions. I am traveling around everywhere for work, and I am looking to get something that will play modern games and be easily portable, and airport friendly. I've been looking at laptops, they are pricey, then I had a thought about just using a portable...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mq79yc I've ordered this... Should have everything by Wednesday... I did stick with the EVO and Dominator RAM... Gonna take a chance I get a good SSD and the little extra for that RAM doesn't bother me. Kinda tossed a coin and went with the 980. I'm going 3 panels at...

Yeah I've seen much cheaper RAM... I chose these with years of service in mind, thinking you get what you pay for. The EVO seemed to be what everyone was praising but I'll look into those other two. I originally had the H100i but I seen that the 105 outperformed it, didn't look into mounting...
