Looks nice, reverse too. I don`t have room behind the motherboard as I`m using both the HDD trays and I have the Lian Li fan hub stuck to the inside of the door hiding the cables.

Ah, yea, won't work if you need the HDD trays. I'm not using either of them, so there's space in there for me.

Looks very good like that.

Looks boss I just don't like them reservoirs anymore. They are like cassette decks in cars rather than cd players or infotainment systems. Distro plates or even just the EKWB FLT reservoirs look far better imo.

I prefer them, I don`t like distro plates, I find all the pipe work is just straight, but each to their own, it would be boring if we all liked the same

Nice case

I went with standard mount with res/pump on lower fans. The Velocity CPU block makes tube routing a pita when not using a distro plate/have a res in the way. I intentionally got a X-Flow radiator to mount on the side upright slot to simplify my tube routing.

looks nice

Thank you, it was a challenge even with the size of the case but I`m happy how it turned out.

what colour have you got your blocks set too?. Looks like uv.

The blocks and reservoir are set to white using the motherboard RGB and the fans are set with the Lian Li L-Connect 3

Cheers Will try out the white see if i get the same effect on my blocks

I have two argb headers on my motherboard, so one I use for the blocks and the other for my L-Connect 3 for my fans.

Where would you put a distro, tho?

I'm planning a new build atm and kind of would like something different from a tube res, but the distros or FLT res' mean skipping a rad or having some fat stacked rad+fans+distro thing sticking out a lot.

You cpuld put them on top of the fans and radiator only restricting airflow slightly.

It's a lot of bulk tho, creates clearance issues bumping into other rads. I might think about putting a tiny res/pump combo behind the motherboard tray in 'dual compartment' cases though...
