Great Rig (It beats mine anyday Sad). It'll be interesting to see how those components look inside a Skeleton case.

Good Luck on your build! Smile

 Gonna start out with the inbox Intel heatsink & fan supplied - looks to be sufficient

Skeleton case has some ampel airflow from the top - not gonna clock this thing over to much at first cost is crazy...

 not sure about case yet - looks great but the wiring harness was a mess to deal with - P/S cables could of been a little longer and wish they has bracket around back to hold lit backplate but made it work with a little plastic straps lol.. - will start uploading images soon

Very nice system. Is it possible to integrate water cooling with the skeleton case? Since there is so much space to fit tubes though, is there  a space to place a radiator and other parts of water cooling on the bottom portion of the skeleton case?

 Not Sure where you would put radiator, maybe on side skirts - they are metal, but under tray is not an option, P/S takes up most of the space, good room for tubing ontop of everything below top fan

looking good! Also can't you mount 120mm fans on the side? if so you could mount a rad there.

 Just Cooling Processor & Video Card has own cooler - will monitor temps of CPU, VID, and Memory - not planning on any extreme overclocks at this time - just wanna see what they got to offer at normal for awhile - to spendy to play at this time - maybe next year if they come down - may tinker a little
