What do you think of my "water cooling" case design?

[3Z3VH]

way to go.
PD: usb and microphone jacks should be on top (easy access)

user preference.... On top for me would make them un-usable. Also top sattelite ports = more wire clutter in my experience.

Yeah, for those who put their case on the floor, this would be a disaster if someone were to accidentally step on anything plugged into that panel on the bottom.

What if I put the ports in a 5.25 sized panel and added a shallow 5.25 bay at the bottom. That way you could mount the ports in any of the available bays, top, middle or bottom, or omit them if you preferred. Of course, the case would be supplied with 5.25 blanks to cover any bays that were not being used.....

I think making it modular/customizable is a great idea. Mock it up ! I just hope it doesn't make the case too pricey.

As for other suggestions, I just thought of something...
Would it be possible to move the PSU to one side or the other ? It seems like right next to the PSU would be a great place for pumps/reservoirs/gauges/SSDs/whatever, and the more room available there, the better !
