I got the front rad shown, and soon I'll be able to show the second rad.

I am just about to start the -exact- same build as you, with a 280 rad up top and a 360 rad in front, haha!
Your case will end up a lot nicer than mine though, this will be my first water cooling project ever

As you can see this is my FIRST post on XS, and I registered here to get help with this project, and then I find this thread - amazing!
I found it while searching around to see if a 280 slim rad will actually fit up top; I've used a cardboard cutout to check, and it seems like it will, but my motherboard has not arrived yet and I don't know about the fittings and tubing, and whether or not it will interfere with the motherboard, rear fan or front 360 rad yet.

I don't want to order the rads before I am certain they will fit, since I don't swim in money Maybe your thread will give me the answer soon, yay

How do you plan on fitting in the HDDs after? I was thinking about using some of these on the bottom of the front 360 rad, but I have not decided yet. You can see them in action in one of pinto's builds.

Also I thought perhaps I should use some (UN)Designs Rad Brackets to mount the 360 rad up front, which should work fine.

Then there's the pump and res placement; first I thought just put it at the bottom next to the PSU, but that won't look nice I think Perhaps copy what Kippler did for his Project Capella (that build is insane, wish I had his skills!)? But maybe you have another idea?

Welcome to XS, and good luck on your build man.

I am actually using the UN Rad Brackets to hold the front rad.

I am still thinking of where I can place the SSD and HDD, and I just updated the work log showing the res and pump.
