Question: What front rads are you guys using? I am having so much buyer's remorse from getting a GTX285 with the new versions, etc. I may well give up and get a 295 with a FC waterblock. After that amount of wattage, I would definitely need another rad, but I don't know what rad/fan setup will sit in the front. I will be drilling my HDD/optical cage out tonight, and I will also need to know how far back to mount the HDD cage when I put it back in (WITH 38mm fans). Hopefully I can figure this out and not stall my build horribly.

A quick question. Would the psu fit in the upper psu spot? It looks like the fan would interfer to me. Another question, would a 2x120mm radiator fit in the bottom of the case if i put the psu in the upper psu spot?

Yes if the PSU is short enough (you can always replace the 230 with 1 or 2 120mm fans), and yes, just be prepared to drill out 2 rivets holding in the PSU mount on the bottom. Many people opt for this, installing a dual rad on top and one on the bottom. Without a HDD cage (mounting HDD in 5.25" bays) a third dual will fit in the front

Knet, thats some good s*it man!

**Blue Storm** · 05-30-2009, 11:40 AM

Knet, very amazing and very nice modifications subtle appearance

**surfhick** · 05-31-2009, 06:57 AM

Nice job knet. Magandang iyon, maganda na (haven't been in the PI for 30 yrs. so not sure if thats right). I like the look without the HDD cage. I bet that side window gives a better view of all that goodness inside.

A bump to my last question: What radiators fit between the HDD cage and the mobo (with 25 OR 38MM fans)? I may be adding a second rad depending on temps from the CPU.

One for sure, MCR220QP with 2*120 fans (tested)

Cool - I see from your sig that the card is also a 285 - Excellent. Quite a snug fit, but I may well be using that setup.

**knet370** · 05-31-2009, 04:41 PM

thanks guys. ill post pics when it 100% done.

**tbone8ty** · 06-01-2009, 08:19 PM

**CptDreadFlint** · 06-01-2009, 08:45 PM

me too its mega sexy.

**rpg711** · 06-02-2009, 05:31 PM

Anyone see the flaw that techpowerup reviewed this case with? They said the cages for the 5.25 bays(the screwless snap-in) wasn't very good... and though I'm sure this is bogus, they also said it was LOUD?(I've not heard anything about loudness of this, only praise of how silent it is...)

**paul_** · 06-03-2009, 06:10 AM

^^ lol

I just removed the plastic drive bay mounts, easy to do with a screwdriver, and if you're watercooling, theoretically you'd have some pretty loud fans in there anyway... But the fans it come with are almost dead silent. Really loving this case, can't wait to get back to building.

Which is why I don't care for anything they have to say about...anything.

Awesome job Knet!

I have seen a couple of review thats sais it's loud. I havent powerd up my fans yet so I dont know (painting the internals at the moment). Mabye CM fixed the fans or something in those lines?

Cant possibly be worse that my case at the moment...The neighbors thinks a air raid is comming every time I hit the On switch

pardon the underexposed pic..

**myowngod** · 06-05-2009, 04:47 PM

^^ you guys who painted the bay clips red... how did you get them back on? I painted mine blue, but i'm afraid i'll break them getting them on, given how hard it was to get them off...

BTW, sick build man...

I held them correctly together. Then tried to line up the pins ( that hold the drives) as best as I could. Then put the bottom of the clip into its respective slots. Then I squeezed the clip until the tops slid into place. Not sure if I described it clearly but I'm sure thats what you are thinking of doing. Just be careful and don't force it too hard.

waw, that's amazing

I really like the last red-looking picture
A piece of art ! :p

Anyone not using their 3.5" converter and want to give it to me?

I need a second one for a SATA CF card reader.
