Moved over to the Corsair iCue Link 3500X RGB today.

It's a well made case I must admit. Solid. And it fitted the tripple rad, large PSU and large GPU easily. But cable managment is tight. It's do-able, just not as easy as it should be.

I snapped a load of pics when building it today. I'll try and add a better picture of the case tonight when it isn't so light. Reflections make it hard to photograph.

The empty chasis.

Motherboard in and CPU cleaned.

OMG I love this cable. I've always fiddled with those power switches and + and - cables. This was a breeze! lol. First time I've used a cable like this pre-made for the buttons.

Managed to use what little compressed air I had left to clean out the PSU. Shiny

Tight fit for the cables though! Triple GPU cables suck!

Managed to route them successfully in the back, and nice and flat too so they don't interefer with the side panel.

New TP time. Snapped up some MX-6 from local retailer.

Apparently you have to use the pea method. I usually spread it. But I guess do as I am told. Looks a little much but it is zoomed in.

Coming along nicely.

Neat and tidy up front. I rejigged the two AIO pump cables from the picture above. Wasn't happy with them.

Power on!

Looks really good, nice job!

I have always been a fan of the boxed off psu design, rather than losing the whole bottom fifth of a case.

I went with the RX120 fans as well, although I removed all the faceplates, they are really good fans.
Thanks so much! This is my first experience with Corsair cases and fans. So far pretty pleased! :)
