thank you.
yes - PSU will be installed under the HD cage in front of the lower rad.

temporary test setup.
zip-tied the pump / mount to it's approximate final position...

I liked the way you were the first to post WC'ing this case last winter, and good to see you are expanding on the concept! :up: In regards to intake for the bottom rad...are you thinking of putting the Lian-Li V-series wheels under that A05?
-
That pump mounting looks nice, but can't figure out how you made it?

went to the hardware store and bought some rubber bumpstop-style feet for now. I looked into the lian-li wheels but the mounting of them would be really tough considering the placement of the lower rad and the lack of mounting points / space there. Still brainstorming but yea - definitely will be raised at least an inch - inch and a half.

:D 80mm Fan brackets. That's what I love about the Alphacool top. Good performance and a bunch of mounting options. You can either use the 80mm mounts on the top/bottom or the 3.5" bay mounts on the side of the plexi-top.
I picked up the extenders / standoffs at O.S.H. (hardware store).
They are two 1-inch extenders screwed together. I'm going back today to replace one of the two with a 1/2 inch one to eliminate the unnecessary height of the pump setup.

without even opening, I just found out that my new Corsair HX620 PSU won't work with this setup since the modular inputs would be blocked by the radiator. I could flip the PSU but i want the intake to come from the bottom like the radiator.
Returning that and picking up a Seasonic M12 700W PSU. It' has it's modular inputs towards the sides as opposed to along the bottom.

Wow!!!
120.4 basicly! I guess you could fit 2 Thermochill PA120.2's and run it passive so total silent as they disapate heat very well.
Are there fans on the top of that top placed rad?
Look like SLI/CF couldn't happen there!
Can we get photos of the other side! This is nut and very cool
-
you make it look like this case has sooo much room
-
now that is how you do tubing management, short as possible.. great jop there mate.
-
very nice looking...well thought out....*-)

thx for the comments.

yes - there are two 120mm YateLoons at the top pulling air through the top radiator.

Looks like if you flipped the top rad around and fitted it into the bays a bit you might be able to get a 2nd GFX in there. Really impressive, new updates soon i hope
-
Pretty kewl for such a small case:up:
-
-
All that stuff nicely packed into such a small area. Although I'd imagine that it'll be a pain the arse to access your ram w/ the pump in front of it.
