Hi all. The upgrade itch I thought was scratched has come back prematurely. I've got nice looking kit with lighting...and a solid side to my case. I'm looking to mount a Mo-Ra 420 on the outside and have pump, res etc inside. I really like the new clean layout cases like the Fractal Design S and the Enthoo Evolve ATX. Trouble is that I have a DVD writer (that I use) and and Aquaero 6 XT. Both of these use a 5.25" bay. I could swap the writer out for a cheap USB one with not much issue but the Aquaero is more of an issue. I was wondering if the Evolve could have this cut into the PSU shroud so it's visible through the window but thought I'd ask if anyone's got any suggestions of what to look at that I might have missed.
Needs to allow for tidying - so ATX cable hidden behind motherboard tray and coming through carefully placed grommets - you know the score here.
3.5" bays - not needed as I'm all on M.2 SSDs now
5.25" bay - one or two would be ideal but modding the Aquaero in somewhere not out of the question.
Internal rads not required but do like the extra space to mount Aqualis XT 150ml, DDC with heatsink and top, flow meter etc without being cramped.
Anything I should be considering or anything I'm being dumb about?
Cheers.
