I was barely able to do so when I assembled it all together last week. There was so much cabling the side panel bulged badly.
I threw out couple of fan adapters, pulled out fan wiring out of their plastic shell and connected the wiring directly to the PSU.
Managed to close it without bulging just barely then, it went out about maybe 1mm to the front mask of the case though.

Though, it is far away from the eyes and from the mind too, what lies beneath the right side panel

It looks great
Have you considered mounting the rad on the right side panel, like guys do in I'd say most of their worklogs, and why you opted against it?

That way you would probably be able to add another 240mm rad. Think that even 360 could fit down there?

So, removing the HDD cage makes the case structurally weak? Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn't have thought of that.
