    Okay...good news. My case is done and is shipping out Monday.

    Originally, I had gone for FedEx saver (5 days, ground) but decided to upgrade to FedEx 2day (2 days, air) for various reasons, so it should definitely be here Wednesday

    I am having problems with my P5W-DH. Seems the top PCIe 16x slot decided to burn out (necessary to use with my case layout), so I'll be advanced RMAing that and hopefully it'll be here on time and won't delay the build.

    I'll be ordering a couple more San Aces and binning those, an 80mm fan for something I want to try, and some wires when it all gets here and I can measure out what I need. Then the exciting stuff will commence

    Vapor is a rookie, it'll take him a few more days, not like he's busy with anything

    Alright....had a few minutes with it for some photos

    First, the box it came in: 20x20x20, and was in fine condition:


    Opened the box, peanuts there to prevent shifting I suppose:


    Took it out of the box, was wrapped in a lightweight bag


    Took off the bag, still wrapped in cellophane (like a brownie):


    Turned it around, you see all the extra hardware in the bays:


    Unwrapped and put in my fan controllers....


    A view from slight above:


    A small detail I'd like to share that I liked....the alignment of the top fans in relation to the motherboard tray, looks like I'll have good airflow over the board


    More later

    looks very nice, not too keen on the thumbscrews but I guess there isn't any other way.

    Maybe jet black thumb screws, or cherry red

    Jet black

    That's one of the things I'm ordering in addition to new cables once I figure out what I need. I don't like the silver ones either.

    First word that comes to mind to describe that is- smooth.

    The fan controllers match the case perfectly. Can't wait to see the completed project.

    Only put in the left system....the CPU-cooling heavy side, waiting on a motherboard RMA for the right system (GPU-cooling heavy).

    Did put in all the peripherals/fans/etc....here's what it looks like


    Here's the inside, the left system with 5HDDs:

    Funny thing is, I always wished that the Duality was a bit bigger. Like 24x24x24 for some ideas that I have....Meh maybe I can try to fab my own some day.

    Great job so far mate.
