Well, thinking of picking up a Corsair 250D and a H100i.

I've got a GTX 680, Intel Core i7 2600k and a Corsair AX750 to power it all.

I will however need an ITX motherboard for it as I don't think my P67 Sabertooth would fit. The reason this isn't in motherboards is I'd also need a good 200mm fan for the front. Was thinking AP181 but I have no idea if they actually fit?

Also, would using the H100i or a standard 240mm radiator to cool the CPU and a 200mm radiator to cool the GPU work?

Anyone have any idea if a 200mm fan and radiator would fit in the front of the 250D?

EDIT: Wont be overclocking, wont need Bluetooth or WiFi either.
 
Also looking to do the same as you when the 250d is released. Similar spec too. Have been looking at the Asus P8Z77-I mini itx board. Certainly looks the cream of the crop for this socket type. Was also interested in a custom water cooling setup. Ive done plenty of research and looked and photos and videos but its just so hard to tell if after fitting a 200mm rad and fan in the front, if it would foul the gpu or not. I thi k we will have to wait until somebody gets their hands on one. Was thinking of ditching the h100i and going full custom and looping in the 200. Failing that h100i and air on the gpu. A rear exhaust gpu should keep pretty cool anyway with the large side intake panel feeding cool air right in. Just the chance of better overclocks if watercooled :)
