Good suggestion, i should be able to source some tape like that through work.Setter, you could put some non stick anti-friction tape (PTFE (Teflon) or UHMW) on bottom. I sometimes use it for drawer slides.Auction site has it for less than four quid. Probably better to use 2" stirps over the rubber pads onto plastic on each end so it can't get caught and pulled off of pad.

only just got my 750D but I know that my next case will be an enthoo primo. such a beast!

750d is quite a nice elegant case too. However for watercooling the primo looks to be the best option without having to spend silly amounts of money. So well thought out with regards to watercooling, and yet a very good air cooling case too.
Should work fine as long as floor is level. Otherwise you might have to put it on a short lead to keep it in place.
About the only thing I could suggest is a tougher paint... I did manage to scratch a bit on the front of mine within minutes, but I am not sure how rough I was with it....
Bummer. I'm using acrylic lacquer and curing it for at least a week before use. They scratch pretty easy the first day or two after being painted but seemed pretty tough after that. Could use epoxy paint but it's way more expensive. 
Can use a felt marker to hide scratches if they go through black colour.

How about using an exterior gloss paint, dulux weathershield stuff is pretty hard wearing. Off course though it still does need a few days to cure properly.

If acrylic, often they actually need longer drying times to cure properly compared to solvent based paints.

It is an excellent case! Way better than my nzxt phantom (IMO). it is also suitable for watercooling but I plan on going for a full loop with 2 or 3 way sli so the phanteks would be ideal

How did you mount the res there dtoo?

Looks like its mounted on the reservoir plate bracket. Its the plate with the cutout just behind the res. The case features several dedicated mount points for reservoirs.

Very nice tidy build dtoo.

Looking into getting one of these to replace my CM690-II. Does anyone know whether an xspc photon 270mm res will fit on the bracket to the right of the motherboard with a single standard GTX 780? (fitted with an EK FC block + backplate)
I've got to choose between the photon 270 or the aqualis eco 150, but obviously prefer the xspc for the illumination. (the aqualis pro/XT is too expensive just to have illumination)
