The HAF 912 I bought had to come out of somewhere in Cali, everything else shipped from Memphis so I got it today. Will possibly post a build album alongside a finished product picture when the case gets here.

I'm one of those guys with the H440. I am a sucker for white/black and mimalism. The LEDs inside are now off though as the PCB that controlled them started to smoke last night. Luckily I caught it in time and I am not going to risk using them again.

I caught it very quickly (within 15 seconds or less probably) and you can't really see any damage to the PCB.

If it was smoking there will be some sort of visible damage. It won't be easy to take good enough pictures though, especially if you don't know where the damage is.

Big improvements since last time :D
4790k at 4.4GHz 1.225v cooled by a H100i with NF-F12s running at 600RPM idle and 1100RPM under load.
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H BK
16GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600mhz (I forget the timings)
NVidia Reference GTX980 at 1450MHz core, stock memory
Corsair AX750 (room for a second 980 soon :D?) with blue sleeved cables
Two Corsair SP120s at 800RPM in the front, one AF120 in the back (not plugged in)
The small PCB just above the PSU is the controller for the NZXT LED strip
Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD as boot drive, 1TB Samsung 840 Evo for mass storage
Corsair Vengeance C70 case

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X @ 1600 MHz (4gb x 2)

Thermal Paste: Noctua NT-H1

PSU: Corsair HX750

This is my first build, and I've been using it since about April, 2014. Cost $1100 at time of purchase, and runs like new still. Recently I bought an SSD for ~$140 which I'll be adding in the next few days. Wiring's a little bit messy but I had some odd cable lengths to deal with here and there. If it works it works, though.
