wow, looking nice... cant wait to see the final product

**coolmiester** · 12-23-2008, 02:23 PM

As always, thanks for the feedback

Well, i know the colour scheme now - or at least for the time being anyway

I'm quite happy tbh as its very similar to Skulltrail and if all else fails at least i'll have a couple of nice matching bookends if nothing else..............but man this poor little board looks lost in this case.

Actually, not much of an update but at least i can relax now and enjoy Christmas

Having said that, i need blocks - any suggestions??

Well i have 1 question: dose the TFC Xcharger 360 fit that case ?

The case is huge and would doubt it wouldn't fit any 360 rad up top

**MaddHawk** · 12-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Am I seeing things or is that mobo tray on a drawer slide?

Edit: I also find it interesting that you refer to an empty case as a blank canvas.

**pvtdonuts** · 12-23-2008, 05:31 PM

the case has ball bearings that guide the mobo tray

**~~just a noob~~** · 12-23-2008, 07:03 PM

for a cpu block what about the ek supreme with black acetal top?

**skinnee** · 12-23-2008, 07:11 PM

You looking to block up the motherboard too?

**Rippermac** · 12-27-2008, 04:12 PM

You're killing me with the wait for an update...

**SGwillis** · 12-27-2008, 04:31 PM

sub'd

**JimiP** · 12-27-2008, 11:12 PM

Absolutely beautiful. I can't wait for updates!

**Mash** · 12-28-2008, 01:46 AM

This board is very hot, like a frying pan!

**OdinEidolon** · 12-28-2008, 02:26 AM

Why not to use 420 rad there, or even 280? Considering you have those nice big fans there

**mpower1001** · 12-28-2008, 06:23 AM

Coolmiester, your builds are just stunning, can't wait to see the finished product, good luck

**Meatpuppet** · 12-29-2008, 04:11 PM

I really like how this build is coming along, it is amazing how a little powder can change things. Anyhow I am a big fan of the ACTS 840 and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a few detail type questions.

1. When you install the 360 rad in the top of the case, does it interfere with any of the top OD slots (i.e. not a full 7" of clearance from the front of the case to the radiator)?

2. What is the width of the recessed region in the bottom of the case (the red line in the attached image)?

Thank ya kindly for any help, and I look forward to future updates.

**coolmiester** · 12-29-2008, 04:29 PM

I can help you with one measurement at this point in time Meatpuppet - the recess in the base is 170mm

As for the top radiator mount, i'd have to wait till i can attach the top section to answer that properly tbh but i can say that a 360 rad can be fitted without any mods.

BTW my vents turned up today so i'll be posting some mod goodness soon

**Meatpuppet** · 12-29-2008, 04:50 PM

Thank ya kindly, look forward to the update.

**ShoNuff** · 12-29-2008, 06:43 PM

What you have done with that case is awesome! The powder coating was the perfect touch. I've been a fan ever since the Yamaha Stacker build. One day I am going to make you an offer on that case that you can't refuse.

My vote for a cpu block is the AquaComputer Cuplex HD. I think it would compliment your build very well.

Looking forward to your progress.

**masxerofkartis** · 12-30-2008, 04:50 AM

The watercool heatkiller 3.0 or the swiftech gtz would be quite interesting choices.

Very nice build as always CM

Is it possible to put a GTX 240 radiator under the top cover?

**Zeus** · 12-30-2008, 02:27 PM

I love the satin black powder coatingand i really like the case, this is gonna be another fantastic build!

**Linchpin** · 01-01-2009, 08:06 AM

Is it possible to use the top tubing holes with a radiator installed at the top of the case?
