Looks good mate, does the 360 rad on the back not make it impossible to access the I/O panel ?

The way the case is designed the fans are offset opposite the I/O panel.

The only thing it really impedes is my second dvi port to some extent, should still be able to get a cord plugged in, and my wireless card antenna, which won't be able to point up and down because of the tubing enters the case directly above it.

But yeah, I got my 750w PC Power and Cooling psu put in. Had to take the top panel off the case to get it in there because of my top mounted intake. As it is there is about a 2mm gap between the fan and the psu. Luckily I had previously drilled the rivets out when I painted the inside.

And, the fan is epoxied in place so I couldn't simply remove it to mount the psu. :up:
