Can't wait, I was going to fit my new kit plus a H60 Corsair CPU cooler, but Im probably going to go proper full w/c setup, as the case can handle anything thrown at it.

I'll put some pics up when the beast is built

case turned up today, fitted everything - go to switch on nothing happens, thankfully my mobo has a reset / on off switch so I press the power switch on the board and it boots fine. I recheck the power connector from the case still wont power on, I then thought of trying the reset switch on the case and low n behold that works fine.

Typical my luck the bloody power switch on the case doesn't work.

I even used the switch off my coolermaster stacker and that works.


Now i've gotta try and get this tank lifted by the place I bought it and get a replacement, they better not ask me to send it back at my expense.


It makes my stacker look like a midget, this thing is MASSIVE
 
Looks really cool mate, Once all sorted would you mined posting some pics?

Love seeing Rigs when they fully done.

Cheers ;)
 
Mate have you got a multimeter ? Test the switch for continuity (Diode mode some call it). It could just need soldering the wires to the switch, if you was a bit rough installing the system and pulled the cable from the switch.. Maybe worth checking and if you have a soldering iron. Other thing you could do is remove just the switch and take that back to the shop and ask them to swap that with a new one or contact Xigmatek and ask them for a new power switch with the wire joined on.
 
ive stripped my system down, and getting access to the switch is like getting into fort knox. I don't want to mess about with doing that as I forked out big bucks and expect it to work.


Thanks for the tips anyway
 
heres a few pics I took with some of my new stuff in the case, obviously it wasn't complete at the time of taking the pics.

the power switch cable may be the wrong way round or a pin or two away from where it's supposed to be, I accidentally did this with my skelly when I was doing some cable management a couple of weeks ago
 
nah it isn't as I tried alternate ways on the wires, and the reset switch on the case worked when replicating it as a power switch.

Also the Switch on my stacker worked fine.
 
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL! That case makes your motherboard look like a M-ITX! Nice one, would be a nice comparison with a penny xD.

Bit of a bummer about the power switch though.
 
Oh looks awesome mate, crazy amount of space inside.

I'm looking inside my old stacker 810 and your case looks a hell of a lot bigger :)
 
my current case is a stacker, looks very similar to the 810 and I was gobsmacked how much bigger this case actually is compared to the stacker.


My Stacker Dimensions are : 23cm x 54cm x 57cm

This beast is : (W)230 x (H)618 x (D)663 mm (9.06*24.33*26.10 inches)
 
Finally found someone else who has one :)

Here is mine during the build:

Big is a bit of an understatement.

Looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with yours.
