The Microcool Banchetto 101 is now in stock at Sidewindercomptuers. I have already ordered mine. I think I am going try and use it as an actual case.

Edit. I realized how ridiculous I looked when I used large fonts.

I would seriously consider using it for a 24/7 rig. Some people like their hardware out on display. Noise is only an issue if you like your fans loud and your CFM high! :D

I'd like to show you what is possible to do with Banchetto 101 about water cooling system modding...

I received mine on Saturday. A word of caution to those who have this coming.

I took another look at the specifications on the Banchetto, it states that it accepts a standard size power supply. You can put a bigger power supply like the Thermal Take Tough Power 1200W. The issue you run into when using larger power supplies on this case is that your power cables will not reach the motherboard very well.

Furthermore, I do not think any of the previous pictures until this point showed the 6pin PCI Express power cords attached to any video cards. I don't think any of the PCI-E power cords will reach the video card that you have chosen.

I think many people will have to purchase extenders.

+1. I received mine friday and have the same problems... I'm using this week to re-sleeve all my PSU cables on my Tough Power 1200W and in the process chop up my 6 and 8 pin cables and extend them.

Any place/way to attach a 120x2 rad anywhere? Or if not, any ideas?

It does fit a large PSU. You will have to uncomfortably stretch the 24pin ATX connector to the motherboard.

I think a smaller power supply will have issues reaching the video card.

Another caution. I recently purchased a Asus Rampage II Extreme to replace my Gigabyte X58-UD5. The RIIE is larger than the standard ATX configuration, and it will cover both the power and reset buttons on the Banchetto. Fortunately, you can still use the power and reset buttons that are on the motherboard.

Edit. Does anyone know where to get more screws like the one with the case? I really like them a lot, but I have run out of the smaller ones that include the rubber washer.

Word. I got the same motherboard. Glad it has its own power and reset, even a little joystick you can wangle around and fry your stuff with during operation.

---------------------

Mr. Breathemetal, look at chicconet's first pic. That is where you can attach either 1 120x3, 1 120x2, or 2 120x1 radiators, as well as your pump and possibly reservoir.

As soon as I dry my socket and cpu off I'll post some pics. Right now they're swimming in liquid from a fun little random leak. I swear this Tygon tubing loses stiffness after a couple weeks...
