Looking forward to this. Please keep posting the photos and updates as will be starting my own build when I get in later tonight depending on how many sherbets I have after work.. May be best if I leave it until Friday night but not sure I will be able to not just have a try... "what could go wrong.." , I know what I am like... Meant to be joint project so will have at least one steady pair of hands.
Anyway I will be using the same case and very similar gear so please do keep posting and let me see what I have coming and whether I need to be 100% sober to start it!

Looks like you are doing well. What's the problem?

Yuukee · 26 Jul 2012 at 16:00

first problem ....psu.....how to position..fan facing downwards or upwards??

honosuseri · 26 Jul 2012 at 16:09

You using the Z9 plus? If yes Fan up fella, the vents at the bottom are rubbish for the PSU

Yuukee · 26 Jul 2012 at 16:10

Yes using...Z9 but it wont effect gpu?

It will actually help cool the inside of the case, as the fan draws air from inside the case and vents it out the back. Seeing the fan through the window also looks kinda cool

Put the optical drive in the bottom bay. This stops the DVD tray getting hampered by USB cables in the front ports. Pop out all the metal blanking plates in those bays too, to help air get in

Guys this is magic stuff and exactly what I need. Yuukee can you post a couple of picks with just PSU in case? Thanks and good luck.

Honosuseri I hope you are on when I am sticking all my parts together

It's possible.

I forgot to mention. I move the fan off the side of the Z9 (makes a racket if left on the side panel) and I mount it at the top of the case. So i have 2 120mm fans on the ceiling wired to the fan controller

Yuukee · 26 Jul 2012 at 16:40

Okay the psu is done ^^

i only took 2 outs one for drives and another extra one...shall i take out other two blackplates too ?

honosuseri · 26 Jul 2012 at 16:45

Pop out the one above the DVD drive in the pic and I have my optical drive one bay lower.

You cant replace the PCI blanking plates at the back of the case so make sure you pop out the right ones when fitting the GPU etc.

Remember the connect the power button to the front panel aswell or you'll panic and wonder why it doesn't power on lol

Yuukee · 26 Jul 2012 at 17:00

okay done as u said and lowered my drive one step down...also my iinput output shiled aint being place and hard to do from inside for z9 ..do we place from outside?
