Soldato
Patience.....Is not a virtue I am comfortable with...Also, as I never planned on doing a step by step you will, have to do a fair amount of imagining.
Decided I wanted it on Friday 3rd of Aug...Here on Saturday the 4th, Can I say thank you to 5UB who is a true gentleman (sucking up for future help when I screw up again).
It's arrives
The cardboard box is MOAR than sturdy enough to give the case enough protection, the foam inside fits very tight meaning that it won't bash about in there while it's being transported..Good start then.
Yes, as you may have guessed I was salivating by this point...
This is how it arrives with everything fitted that should be. Can I make it very clear that the 2 x 120mm mounts on the top will accommodate 2 x 140mms as well. Why this is not advertised I will never know. I was going to settle for a 240mm rad...No longer...Daddies getting a 280mm.
Ever heard you fans vibrating on your case? No longer with these simple fan mount grommets...Yes I am still gushing over them, such a simple but handy addition.
So here we are, everything is ready for the mobo to be put in. The front is very secure and took me a moment to work out how to remove. 3 clips on each side, unclip and it's off. Once removed you can attach 2x120 or 1x140 to the front panel.
FAKE REASON > I removed the top HD tray as I didn't need it and wanted to improve airflow to the CPU cooler. There is a small cut out to the right of the fan mount to guide the fan lead through. Very simple, very clever!
REAL REASON > MOAR Red in MOAR places...Because of this my SSD is sandwiched in between HD tray and side panel...Ohh noes 
Unfortunately I don't have a modular PSU......Yet. The C70 has so much space in the PSU grommet I don't think I'll get one (So.. I give it 3 months b4 I get one lol).
I'm sure I don't need to tell you how to install a mobo into a case so will just show you the finished thing. Geek lube at the ready.
Now we wouldn't be finished if I didn't show my beauty in situ.
If I wasn't taking those photo's on my phone in low light conditions it might actually look better.
Now the important thing to note is that I bought this case for one purpose only...WATERCOOLING.
I am so impressed with it and cannot wait until the 22nd of this month when OcUK will yet again be getting the lion share of my paycheck.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will update once complete.
