Need to make any changes to the watercooling?

You'll need to put the 240 on front, with a big PSU like the 1200i it leaves next to no room for the cables having it on the bottom.

Just make sure you get the thickests and fattest 240 and 360, at least you'll get your monies worth out of the case that way..loads of space to use.

You'll also need more coolant, 1l isn't enough for that much raddage and componets (mine used 1.5l)

On another subject, why are you getting a HDPVR? There's a new edition that's smaller and has HDMI rather than composite, there's also an Elgato what's small and sleek (very good for recording consolols as wel)
 
In addition to everything else, buy more than a 1litre of coolant.

And were fans/fan controller = an required cable splitters mentioned...

Removed it, I'm gonna get Fraps torrent instead, btw, I chose it at first because it was the only PVR on OCUk

You've only got 1 HDD, you can put that in your hotswap.
Or you can if you like, do as i've done and quite literally stuck it to the side of the 240rad. The SSD can be put anywhere.

Fair enough, Fraps is best for PC recording.
If you want to record consololols then Elgato or HDPVR-2.
 
@Tonester0011, nice rig mate

i pulled the velcro off the fan junction thing and used that for my ssd, it was still very sticky to my surprise.

and i used just short of 2 litres, was hoping i'd have enough for when i mount a 140x55 on the back but no such luck, gonna have to get another bottle

Nice rig Nick.
I've still got to change all my cables with braided ones, they came in the post about two weeks ago, been in the box ever since.

Are you getting yourself another Lightning?? :D

Does the Ax1200i come with braided cables? I saw a unboxing and in the box it came with braided cables.

I meant to say individually braided*
I made the mistake of buying stock AX1200 braided cables, back when the AX1200i was brand new (couple of days old)...only to find the cables were not compatible (different manufacturer)

They do have more colours, just no longer in stock etc.
Worth the cost as they really do make the build look that much neater.
