i've made my mind up, eventually

i opened the box very carefully just in case i was going to send it back, because i wasn't sure either, have you seen their S-Frame :eek:............ like Wow

i'm not a fan of Water Cooling... the roof only has that vent grill so i deffo wouldn't put a radiator up there, because that grill is not strong enough, in addition, it only takes 120 mm fans.

but there is plenty of space on the floor plus up against the front panel
 
No point to LC now with your cards,but when R 3xx will be realease,you might consider it again.
Grill won't be strong enough but you could install rad to the case,easy.(cover rad with rads from the top)
 
the GPU rad (395x2) could be a 240 front panel intake rad easily, because the front end has loads of room..

i'll still use Megahalems so i'm not woried about the CPU at all
 
i dont think so, the roof grill is very similar to the Phanteks, it's fairly stiff due to the curves at the edges, but it wont hold much before buckling, In-Win totally overlooked this.....but it deffo has room on the front, on the floor and on the rear.

So where would you recomend having it? The front?
My order should be coming Friday, can't wait to build it! :)

I was very close to buying the D-Frame but I simply couldn't afford it with my build, maybe in the future i'll upgrade ha.
 
you're like me..... i could afford the D-Frame but i thought ``no, not sure``
that open air case will run extremely cool, but you'd need to be careful with it

the 4770 is de-lidded, then Sanded and polished dead flat on the CPU Cooler side.............the Megahalems is then polished dead flat so it marries to the surface of the CPU..... both surfaces have to look like a mirror !

ok, i've just brought another Phanteks pro, this is the same as my white version, but it's black with no side window, it looks really nice.....photos soon.

i gave up on the In-Win 707 because i grew to hate the paint job, it scratches all the time, when it scratches off you can see shiny Stainless:eek: it comes off even with your finger nail, this is very careless of IN-WIN because it looks like it isn't primed because it deffo doesn't have a base coat..

the Phanteks is way superior !!!

thanks, the front panel and roof have had the Honeycomb lattice removed and the front grill has had a pair of stockings stretched over the grill to keep the dust out, the grill is actually black but looks grey in the photo.

the case looks much nicer than it does in the photos.

unfortunately Titan X is running way too loud, so it needs a lot of work next week.......hopefully the Artic accelero will solve the noise, the case is extremely well ventilated but the TX fan is way too noisy at only 30 %..... because it's not hot at all, only 68 degrees
