looks fab, that style is what im going to be going for in the future. Are you using after market 3.5" adapters for your 5.25" bays?

also how did you get your ssd standing up like that!?

Yea after market adapters i found them on "Some auction site" "Scythe Hard Disk Stabiliser II" so i could put them in the bays.

SSD is screwed onto the side and i had to cut away the rubber housing thing next to it for the cables so it would fit snug

I hope that you'll see my replying to you once again, but I was wondering whether you could post some pictures of the back of your case (behind the mobo), how you attached the ssd and the your 5.25" bays. I ask because I am trying almost the exact same thing and would love ot know how you made it so tidy.

Thanks in advance!

Damn, I think I might be getting one of these... The CPU cooler is the only thing I'm undecided on. I'm not a fan of closed loop coolers but they're the best looking coolers, unless there's some form of cooler I can put my own fan on which points upward like a low profile cooler.

Cleisthenes · 28 Aug 2013 at 01:12

If you aren't going to get a full loop, a closed loop system is definately the way to go. My h80i with 2 sp120's is fantastic

See a while back, I won a very exclusive rad in a competiton on here but it's 360 so would not fit into this case, which is a really PITA as I really don't want to sell it as a matter of respect and their so limited, but if I was to buy this case it'd just sit unused for a few years which is again a waste and disrespectful to Mayhems

But they're too big, I live at home and am a student

my room is pretty small and have two large monitors which take up the majority of my desk. First world problems right?
