couple of quick photies, only from my phone so not the best.

Still need do a few things.

Blanking plate for the HDD wall.
Longer SATA cables so i can mount it up front.
A White Corsair sticker for my PSU.
I may get a Raijintek Triton AIO in green, if funds allow.

Ive put an extra fan in for the moment, only running at 5-600rpm but its brought my GPU temps down by a good 5-7degrees

Nice build Pepper. Me likey.

Gonna slam some extra fans in mine tomorrow as im just not feeling the temps.

May have to try and squeeze another rad in this as well I think.

Mine arrived today, really nice case.

Without any GPU's yet it's pretty empty but that'll soon change I hope.

Mine sadly had a tiny scratch (about 1mm long) near the front IO flap, insignificant but it's bothering me a little.

Onwards and upwards with my project, time to get the rattle cans out this weekend!

Sgt Pepper added to RoH, what ram are you using btw ?

PL630 will add you once we see a pic

Nice and tidy build Sgt

Anyone else had problems with the 24 pin passthrough grommet not in line with the M/Board plug ? Good bit out with my M/Board can't even use it.

Sgt_Pepper · 4 Aug 2015 at 10:39

Yep, they are poorly placed, might dremel the full thing out.

FL630 · 4 Aug 2015 at 10:42

24 pin lines up perfect with my Gigabyte Z97X G1

Sgt_Pepper · 4 Aug 2015 at 11:23

Swops?

Alignment is very poor to be honest. Managed to get mine through with some gentle persuasion.

Sgt_Pepper · 4 Aug 2015 at 13:14

Asus must have lower sockets.

Pexon cables ?

Evga sockets are lower as well and at right angles can't even put a loop in the cable, probably need to run it across from the harddrive blanking plugs, not so good and can't be assed hacking extra holes

Yes longer slot would have been the ideal, and a plate to hide the drive bay slots for those who wont use them, or a removable drive bay, maybe they will fix some stuff if they make a V2 model, also a couple of the ssd rubber mounts had stripped threads, pain to get out as I won't be using those.

Just had a look now, it's a guy from Iceland calls himself Icemodz.

Anybody else having trouble with the USB 3.0 header / cable?? I've got an sabertooth z77 mobo and for the life of me, I can't get the front USB header cable plugged in. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I tried plugging in the header cable from my "old" case and it clicked in without any problems...wtf!???

Captain Chaos · 4 Aug 2015 at 17:33

No mine went in ok.

Sgt_Pepper · 4 Aug 2015 at 17:57

Haven't tried mine, first thing I do when I get a new case is pull all the front panel wires out and stick them in the empty box.

Dunno, took mine out along with the other bits not needed, don't like front or top ports, ends up marking the case.I just use an extension plugged into the motherboard.
