If I didn't have quite so many drives the S would tip it over the r5, but I use too much storage for it to be an option so its am r5 for me.

I've got one also but i think it would be a little too much with a pump and res mounted on the front of the rad, maybe 20cm too much on my setup.
I was thinking of mounting the 280 rad high up on the front inlet and having the pump under it. I think it will fit.
Reservoir wise i was thinking of getting rid of it and just using the bleed port on the radiator as a fill port so the radiator is the reservoir, kind of like in these AIO coolers.
Kind of like this:

Finally booked some time in to move my rig from my Coolermaster case into the S.
Tidy up this mess.
Well not quite finished yet (I am so busy) but from the mess above to what I have now is very pleasing.

Has anyone tried fitting 3 Noctua NF-A14s in the front? I want to make sure they'll fit before buying this case.
Its a tight but they fit.

Are you speaking from experience?
I've read conflicting reports on forums, so I just want to make sure!

Which Noctua Cpu Cooler is that if u dont me asking? I'm currently looking at this case and wondering about space for a beefy cooler like a noctua.
cheers, did you have any issues fitting it?
Its a little tricky to plug the fans in the motherboard but not impossible
sounds good enough to me ! cheers
I do love this case, decided to get one for now as i wasn't getting an EATX board otherwise would have gone for something a little bigger.
Airflow and cooling is nice, good thought out case design and looks pretty damn stylish.
You can see it there housing my new 5820k and 980ti.
Ended up going for a new fan hub as well, which runs all my fans including my h110i ones and they run nice and silent with good cooling. Ignore the messy cables here, at least through the window it's nice and neat!
