ok right, so I just need to know what you think of this in terms of cable management and looks. Not that much red, but when the bright red corsair vengeance ram comes it will make the build look more red

 

ALSO: in the first few pictures the motherboard looks like it has something sticky on it. Is this normal? just some glue or something

Looks fine to me. One thing I always do it route the front panel connectors under the motherboard before I put the mobo in. Just to make it extra tidy. But looks good. :)

sounds good, going to re check everything but hopefully it will be up and running tomorrow :D PC MASTER RACE HERE I COME! TF2 500FPS XD

:D, I have one problem though. The 24pin power connector won't go in. Literally, i feel like I am going to break the mobo as it is flexing a lot... but the click won't happen, it's nearly there, what should I do, it's definitely in tight

If its to tight then pull more of the cable thought the cut out to take stress off the cable. If it's still to tight. you can route the cable were the harddrives plug in from. (Will upload pic so you know what I mean.)

ok, i have tried but still doesn't work, will try the hard drive thing. The gaming 5 was not built for the h440, the sata, and also the usb 3 cables are next to the routing cable, where it bends in meaning there is like no easy way of putting them in.

 

I bent the usb 3 pins, nearly cried lol but seemed to bend them back and then managed to put the cable in, hopefully it works but damn I spent 30 mins just trying to put it in got me sweating lol

Yeah dont worry about bending pins too much (Unless it's your CPU then you should start crying) I have bent the pins on the USB 3.0 header to. Just bend them back and all is good. If it doesn't click on all the way. but its still in fully you should be grand. really no way to tell until you can post it.

Damm your build flex, I really like that case :/

very happy with it, you have to compromise with a few small things but the looks make up for it 100%!

Eh? so you mean you didn't get a copy as expected, or you haven't managed to install it?

Shame, be better off with windows 7 anyways! I think pretty much every windows 8 pc i've dealt with i ended up putting a start-menu back on it and disabling the metro crepe

 

i wouldn't touch 10 until it's been out good 6 months.

Ubunto is great, till you want to do anything with it and realise the horror of the command lines. I brought the wrong OS when I built mine and had Ubunto installed as a temporary measure. Installing the OS was easy but past that I did not even bother trying to install anything and just used it as a browser. Get a copy of windows ASAP unless you really want to learn how to use Linux.

WWhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????

 

Unless you're considering a career in developing pissy little apps to run on a Raspberry Pi that you can use to impress both the other people on Facebook that give a crap Linux is POINTLESS. Save yourself the grief of trying to dual boot your machine and just BUY A COPY OF WINDOWS!
