the package from Coolermaster
The big one from Coolermaster
Inside beautiful black
Enough space for the components
Sata dock, always easy
A lot of space for the reservoirs or radiators
What i really like for modding is the air duct for the gpu's
For so far the case. Also there was a nice psu, the 1200W silent pro
Enough cables for my tripple gtx setup
Gonna be a lot of sleeving
Next step is to take the case apart, and fit some components
The Haf XL, sad to see him like this.
Yesterday i had a little brainstorming session, I will reveal you some ideas
A 360 rad in this case is almost impossible, except for the top, but for the top I've got other ideas,
now it,s going to be 2 x 240 rads
Both sides 2 x 120 mm fan
For the top a have some nice ideas
Here comes 2 x EK spinbays
I'll have to do some grinding for the spin Bays
Gonna make 2 x square / octagon 3 mm plex fan bays, which will be the lid of the spin Bays
Like this,
In the cover is coming a aquaero, and in the flat side i,am gonna make a slot for a slimline DVD-RW
i Am not sure where and if i place the airduct voor the gpu,s
The last idea for now., Gonna make a hood from the front to the back of the case over the psu, on top of this 2 x MCP 355 pump, all in sight
Under the hood i gonna place my hdd, s
