I love the amount of room above the motherboard, it really does help installing no end.

Nice and tidy

Why mount the SSD on the back tho? And not in one of the hotswap bays where there are mounting holes for it?

because i was a bit of a muppet and put the wrong thread pitch screw in

and managed to snap it off inside it lol

ah well such is life!

The case looks so huge! All the space to work around the motherboard looks great, it almost always seems like a squeeze to fit those things in! Looks great though and bet it runs sweet with all that space and the H50

Got enough juice there by the way? Couldn't a 1200W PSU power at least two of those?

Yea I did think the 1200W was a bit OTT, headroom though

Awesome build buddy!! Wanna make me one? Haha. The case is very impresive im jealous now, thinking about ditching my Antec 1200 for one of these babys!!

[Death] · 2 Mar 2010 at 07:59

gotta say , dont think i could go back to a normal case after this , 1 of best purchases of mine ever i think

ChrisLandin · 2 Mar 2010 at 08:21

What sort of performance are you getting out of the ssd? Im thinking about getting one of Corsairs Reactor 60gig ones

SMN · 2 Mar 2010 at 12:21

Nice build - one niggle, can you not run the RAM Cooler 3-pin through the hole nearest to it, round the back of the board and out the hole next to its plugin point? Other than that, top drawer. How you finding the H50 cooling wise?
