As I see it you have to replace the screws to a type that can be tightened using a wrench instead of a screwdriver. I had the same problem when fitting the radiator brackets, but then I inserted the screw from the other side and tightened the nut on the outside (using a small adjustable wrench).
You might perhaps use a small screwdriver "bit" held with a pair of pliers or a wrench and try to tighten the screw, but it would be a bit tricky...

Well it is not necessary for me to tighten the drives or bay covers from the inner side, but I can, because I made the bigger hole into the mainboard-tray. So I can reach the left side from the right bay from the right side of the left.
See on pics again, what I mean:
This bigger hole was very important to me. It makes all the working with cables easier etc. And it offers the fixing with the thumbscrews from inside. Still a bit tricky to hit the threads, but it works better than you think

LEDs still missing and Radsealing for top is still in planing

A suggestion for sealing up the top rad:
Weatherstripping from Home Depot or Lowes. It can be purchased in several thicknesses and has a sticky backing on one side. I used it purely for cosmetics, but it would work perfectly for thermal isolation as well (that's what it's designed to do anyway)

*duh* Ok, I just realized you are not in the US. So, I'm not sure where you would find weatherstripping. In the US we use it to seal out cold air from bad windows and doors. I'm sure that the probably have something like this in Europe.

I chopped the mobo tray completely at the point of that opening. Then I modified a piece to attach to the existing brace so it would still give the tray some rigidity, as it does now. The tray has some give now, but it's not all that bad. And now I can reach all the right side of the left hand drive stack, which was very much needed.
If they'd made that mobo tray slide out removeable, this case would have been better. Still is a nice case though some of the features of the MM's like the front rad mounting (which is what nearly everyone is doing with their 343's anyway) would have probably made the 343 a bit more perfect if they had been included.
Well, maybe the weatherstripping is also available in germany too. But I thought of plexi, because you still have a view inside. That would be the more beautiful isolating effect. If that doesn´t work that well, i will think about something like the weatherstripping.
I do like the MM Cases, but they are not as beautiful, as the 343b's.

Nice! Can you post some more pictures?
More pictures of what exactly? Please precise, the I can make´em.

On your SB you have an Elbow Fitting on the outlet.Originally Posted by peebee

That's not an elbow, that's a Banjo fitting. They're probably just a tad more restrictive than a standard elbow though.

If your annoyed by sigs telling you to put things in your sig, then put this in your sig
Bribery won't work on me...just say NO to AT!!!
Ah, now I got yah! It is a drilled up version of those:
It was a private collective order of users at this company: www.pneumatikwelt.de That one should be less restrictive, if you take an elbow fitting to compare.
I drilled the holes with a 9mm drill, so the restriction should be very very low. According to the non-restrictive EK-Waterblocks in the loop, I don´t think, that there is a performance drop in cooling
CPU-Loop has no elbows and its own PA120.3

what leds are those matE?
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
They are called Superflux. They are pre-installed on these strips. Bought them from this shop in Germany: www.leds.de
Exact product link is this: http://www.leds.de/c20/LED_strips_mo...D_Leisten.html
You can cut these strips every 5cm (3 leds) and the quality is amazing. A little bit expensive, but that´s it anyways, if you build a nice rig
You also can buy the leds separate without the strips, then it gets cheaper. But I am too lazy to do this by myself

Okay I am done with my built.
I actually really made exactly all the things I had in mind, when I bought this case. And it really looks better than I thought it would look like, when I started working on it.
Enough room for my stuff and still looking clean and tidy. That was all I wanted.
Her the pics of the final built including all light variations which I can change just like my mood wants me to.
Maybe I will add green LEDs later

Looks great. I really want this case or a mountain mods duality for my next build but im leaning more towards the duality as this to water cool you need to get all the mesh coolers that are like 20 bucks apiece.
Then again the case is very good looking and clean.
