Case/rads/fans/res has arrived at my mum and dads!

Also bought the front mesh panel so will be mounting 3x140 intake in the front. The case will be sitting sideways on a shelf above my monitor so the front glass panel would be a little redundant anyway and as it's also in an alcove there's no real line of sight on the front.
 
Nope - already have a roll of transparent XSPC 16/11 I'm going to use - reusing all my old fittings as well (XSPC black chrome compressions and rotaries etc)

Do you need the mesh panel (temp-wise)?
Looks incredible as-is!
You know, after testing I don't need the mesh panel - temps are great. I didn't realise I would be able to fit two intake fans behind the res so that handles air intake. I'll pop the mesh panel on ebay :)

I'll post another pic update next week once I've sorted the block rgb and added more coolant. Removed the corner brace as well - looks amazing!
