I have built inside this Case and I know what you are saying but once you get stuff tied down its gets easier

Also helps that the window in the top is small. It looks very tidy with the top on

Looking good mate, I'm strongly thinking of this case for my next build, well either this or the Enthoo Evolve.

I just picked up another 8gb of the TeamGroup 2666 to go with my 8gb of the frost edition, I can't understand why the 2400, is more expensive than the 2666 £59 compared to £79, odd very odd. ( That's not on the weekly deal either )

I really like the Bitfenix Pandora. Could be tempted to change when it's released!

ok so a few changes. Wasn't happy at all with the cooling abilities of the 250D. My 280x was so loud it was drowning out my speakers.

Change No1:

Change No2

Panels removed

Components in

Job done

I do have an issue in that I can't plug the front USB header in. The graphics card encroaches a few mm too much so I can't push the connector in. I don't use front USB much but it now means I'll have to unplug something out the back when I need to use a port or buy a usb hub.

I've got great cooling now with all the fans but at some point I'll swap them out to something quieter I think.

Do you have a link? The problem is the width of the connector, I'm wondering if I can just try cutting the side off that's catching the graphics card.

Fixed the USB front header issue. I've cut the plastic side of the connector off and it now fits without hitting the graphics card.

This was the problem:

Yeah the backplate is the problem. Used to have a 280x in there and the USB header cleared it fine. Sorted now though
