** BitFenix PHENOM - The Prodigy Got Classier **

[teknokid]

What problems did you come across? Just hard to build in because it is tight?

Partly - the 90 degree power cable that runs underneath the case wouldn't fit my Enermax PSU. It hit the case making it nearly impossible to push in (I managed to wedge it mid-install in the end).

I would

You can rotate the power and reset buttons to put them up the right way. I'm really glad I swapped the panels on mine, it makes taking the side off to access the mobo etc much easier.

Here's a few of my build (new CPU cooler is on its way)...

A very bent over power cable (getting this in was such a pain, and I really don't think it's good for the PSU):

is a very nice looking case

Hmmm this or a Silverstone Fortress, the Bitfenix is so much cheaper though

Looks like I'm waiting for Steamroller anyway so plenty of time to decide, any ATX PSU fit these and any restrictions on cooler size?

You'll need a standard ATX psu to fit a full length GPU. Even then it's tight - I have my Enermax mounted so that the modular connections are away from the gpu..

Thanks, I'll do some proper reading up over the next month or so

Looking forward to seeing a tidy watercooling build in one of these
