I've bought the 212 Evo twice. Both instals were fine. Instructions suck and require implying. 
 
Too much and side spilling can cause problems. If it spills out or get on the contacts on the bottom that is.
 
I got cut MANY times with heat fins as well.

 
I've installed the CM Hyper 212 Evo a couple of times and didn't find it too difficult despite the short instructions.  Coming from Tuniq Towers and some of the Thermalright cooling solutions, the mounting system was pretty similar to how the older towers were installed.

Nothing beats waterblocks for ease of installation. It's normally quite tense for the 48 hour leak test, but I build and test my loops outside the case now(not possible in small cases).
 
The Gelid Tranquillio in a Fractal R2 was a pain though. Silly mounting hardware.

Yeah, instructions for most hardware for PC things are often times lacking. Many cases have bad explanations or are very light in their descriptions and etc.

I don't have the money for those yet. I just run a closed loop.

I've only done pushpins before, and it took me a bit to realize the x-bracket could be adjusted to fit the screw holes proper.

Yep, they have different X positions and angles they go in to secure different sockets.

A few more choice New Vegas screens.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
I swear, the dude who made this texture pack knew people would be getting lots of screenshots with stop signs in them, that's why he did such amazing texture work on them.

I swear the guy that made it also made instagram if you know what  i mean

No hating!
 
People do some pretty crazy stuff with this ENB Series. For example, here's Skyrim using it:

 

 

 

 
Or another config that yields some pretty astounding results:

HOLY SCHIIT IT LOOKS GREAT.
 
I don't think I can run it that high though
 
What mods you use?

I should be revising but now I'm playing Skyrim...

Oh I can't run it like that, those are just someone else's screens. I had tried running a more basic config after I got my new video card, and it ran about the same as it did on my old 6670, which led me to believe that it's really more CPU-bound.
 
I ended up saving oodles of these screenshots!

If the PC version came looking at that. We would have such a good

What Bethesda needs to do is re-release Skyrim on the next gen of consoles, then allow mods on them. (From the rumors, it's sounding like the new consoles will have plenty of RAM to do it.)

Where are you getting these screenshots!? ENB skyrim doesnt get me this!?

 

[Kukuk]

There's a whole thread of screenshots on the ENB Series forum. Clicky.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Also, the creator of the mod is a pretty cool dood. Some guy was hating on characters that looked like lolis, and he was defending them.
