I got my bitfenix phenom (replacement for b grade RMA Colussus M) I have to say its one of the hardest PC builds I have done. the MATX version everything is crammed in awkward places.. I removed the 3.5 drive brackets, the 5.25 bracket which you cant use anyway to create more room, the 2,5 ssds are mounted on the side of the case and so are all the mobo connectors.. its very fiddly trying to put the side of the case on with all those connectors. I would have taken a picture with the LED fans going,, but clearly I could turn the power on without the side panel connected. I had to take the motherboard out after realising that the motherboard cpu cutout didn't match mine. the radiator fan is literally 1mm away from the CPU block. I installed 2 bitfenix 120mm led fans as intakes on the top , another on the radiator to the rear. and 1 240mm pushing air out the bottom. You could have push air out the top but I think this would compete against the GPU (which I will add later in the year). So anyone thinking of buying the MATX Colossus, Phemon, or Bendy legs case.. Be Warned its hard,, there will be lots of shouting,, check the you tube videos. However the final result is quite a tidy living room PC for VR.

IF anyone knows image hosting sites that post to forums for free can they let me know and I will take a couple of pics.. Image shack has gone premium only and I don't think photobucket does forum links
