I drilled holes into it and hot glued LEDs in the holes :D

(The holes are inside the fan hole)

That is a lot of 90* fittings! Looks really nice though I don't understand all the hype over the 800D I personally would prefer a 700. Nice build :up: Also what water blocks are on you gpu's? Not compatibly with a standard sli bridge?

Thanks

I personally don't like nor have use for a 800D, I got this case for $140 shipped BRAND NEW and could have got the 800D for that price too, I saw no reason for the added stuff it has. I run 1 SSD and 1 HDD and have server for storage, so the hot swap bays are a joke imo, I would love to see anyone that really uses them.

The blocks are Bitspower full card blocks with the Bitspower sli/Cfx fittings

SLi bridge? ATI cards = Crossfire. those are the bridges that came with the cards.

Nick, can you talk about how you did the custom fan and grill in the side panel? It looks sweet and probably solves a lot of this case's air starvation problems.

what would you like to know about it?

It is a 120mm ziggy fan (1000RPM) (the others are all 140mm ziggy 1000RPM fans). I was hoping it would help pull air from the two fans on the 2x140 rad in the middle, so I set the fan as exhaust.

It was pretty simple I just cut a hole in the door and mounted the fan... I have never been a fan of door fans before because I hate every time I pull the door off I have to unplug a fan, but it needed to be done.

The grille is a 120mm overkill grill from http://www.mnpctech.com/120mm_Overkill_Fan_Grills.html

Nice looking case! Only thing i dislike is the dual bay res dont really like the long tubing going from gpu's hehe

New pictures, Enjoy!

looks great mate, i'd suggest removing the ram cooler though kinda doesnt fit in hehe, Also mind linking the exact barbs and extender it looks like you used to connect your gpu's..

Thanks, ya I am almost caring less and less about that cooler on my mem, it also should be doing anything because I don't OC that mem

Hmm, i like how green paint turned out, but somehow mnpc silverish crosshair fangrill seems out of place on this case. What do you think of painting it black to keep it inline with green-black innards color scheme and black radgrills on top & back of case? Hmm, or instead of black - green? Hart to tell.

Very nice and interesting choice of green! Unusual and genuine. :)

What thickness of acrylic did u use and what size of LEDs to get them hotglued to it, if I may ask? Have something similar in mind. :)

1/4" and 5mm LEDs :D
