what about a bay res? keeps things nice and tidy as well then.

I went for the Phobya mounting bracket in the end. I think it was the wrong decision as there's very little clearance between the bottom of the pump and the fans on the bottom 240 rad.

In addition to this, as it was all so tight and toasty, the fittings on the bottom of the res and the pump top were dribbling before even switching the pump on, so I had to stick some cable ties round them to stop that.

Overall, I'm loving the look of the case and the build I've put together but I'm uncomfortable with the tension in the tubing between the res and the pump top, so I think I may invest in a bay res just to ease the pressure on the fittings.

I'll stick some pictures up tomorrow as my crappy camera doesn't really like taking pics in non-natural light.
 
Does it do push/pull on the top rad?

Started putting mine together tonight. I can confirm that a 60mm thick rad will fit in the roof with push pull fans on. Mine is one of the older thermochill 120.3 rads which are longer than most 360 rads... it just about went in thank god. Need to drain this system down and start removing parts:rolleyes:

Here's a massively in depth ttl review of this case, long but soo worth watching, making me consider this as my next case :)

I still don't like it :( God knows why, but I just don't like bits of the looks - e.g. the slats when closed don't close up and stuff. Don't get me wrong, it has some amazing features, but yeah :( Still bugs me for some reason :(

I'm with you on this. Those top slats are really very cheap and tacky. And don't even get me started the front 5.25 bays, cheapy plastic rubbish that doesn't seem to fit properly judging from everything i've seen of them.

Don't get me wrong though, i think all the stuff on the inside is genius but the OTT plastic that doesn't look like it fits properly is going to prevent me buying.
 
even though i created the thread i now after som timr agree, i dont like the cae, too much plastic, not enough metal, i mean the damn thing weighs only 12kg and can be blown over.

Yeah this was one of the things that get me... it's too shiny.....

Oh, and I don't like their HDD cages...

I did however giggle my head of when TTL was like 'Certain manufacturers take note, NO FAN GRILLS' xD

Finally finished transfering all my gear into one of these cases, Overall I think its an amazing case for the money. I would change a few things if I were to design it, but hey is there such a thing as a perfect case?.

The good points about this case is it has allowed me to fit internally a 360 rad & 240 rad and has the extra bonus of running 12 fans in total all hooked up to a fan controller - so plenty of cooling.

This case wont be for everyone and I would rather the whole case was made out of metal, but its more metal than say a Corsair 600t. I have built in the 650d and 600t in the last year and imo this case is miles better.

Will update some pics tomoz of my build, not as amazing as the ones already in this thread but I'm happy with it:D
 
Pic of mine finally finished, got a few little things to do to it but itts pretty much done. would have liked to have put some new bits in it that looked better but was on a tight budget.

The fan controller is a (Scythe Kaze Q-12 Channel Fan Controller) handy as I have 12 fans :D

The black box is a an ( XSPC Dual bay reservoir that you can fit a MCP655 Laing D5 Vario Pump into)
