any pics of how you tubed the rear rad ?

Sorry for the delay,
I used the follow set of fittings for both the input & the output, connected in sequence extender - angled - extender - compression. This gives enough length to get past the fans.

YOUR BASKET
1 x XSPC G1/4" 45° Rotary Fitting (Black Chrome) £4.49
1 x XSPC G1/4" to 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD Compression Fitting (Black Chrome) £3.49
2 x XSPC G1/4" 10mm Male to Female Fitting (Black Chrome) £1.79 (£3.58)
Total : £13.84 (includes shipping : £1.90).

here are some more pics... Excuse the poor quality - They are lit by torchlight - I didn't want to use a flash or disconnect & move the PC!!

Hope this helps

I have to say man, that is super clean build. Almost no cables to be seen

Great job on cable management!

Thanks Greybeard, the build did not go to plan as the original motherboard a (Gigabyte Z87X-OC Force Intel Z87) was faulty and that was the main reason for the colour scheme. I would not trust another board having purchased 4 in total and three have been returned over the last year.
The cable management at the rear is disgusting lol, have to address that later as i have had enough of it for the moment.

Original colour scheme..

If I was to use the duel xspc res in the 750D how thick a 360 rad could i use in the top?

From the inside top of the case to the top of the middle bay is 80mm.

I was going to put the dual bay res in mine but wanted an internal optical drive so went single bay.

The issue with that bay is not just the size of the rad (mine is 40mm) but the width of the bay, you need to file it down a bit on the edges, but it will fit. I managed to get a fan controller in above it, but had to cut some excess plastic off the back.

Sorry for picture quality...

Its in the works from what i remember its basically the same as what's on the 450d but larger obviously, and should come with a different filter mesh to replace the current one.

Yup, they at first pretty much said the difference between having the panel on and off made no difference then started back-peddling on that position. Bit of luck its available very soon.

Would be nice if Greybeard could give a update

I've been asking our case team to provide me some update, but none of them are responding.. Soon they have to

I have the 350D panel already, looks nice to be perfectly honest. I haven't seen the 750D yet, but if I had to guess, it'll be very similar - just larger in dimension of course.

Apem · 24 Feb 2015 at 04:03

That does look nice

Sorry for the terrible potato photo but getting close to finishing my re-case/build. As much as I would like to upgrade chip/ram/cpu there is just no point at the moment as it still plays everything i want it to.

Will swap out the horrible looking noctua at some point for another SP/AF120 when i can get hold of one.
