Liking this build a lot, nice work on the cutting!

Nice work on the cutting, although I think you could've reversed the airflow in the case because I think Antec actually say that their all-in water units actually work better as exhaust (unlike the previous Corsair models).

But still, having the Kuhler up front looks better as you say.

I am switching it around and fitting it in the exhaust. Had to drill some holes for it to fit. Was just blowing in to much hot air. Working on it now so will update later on with pics

Could just swicth fans otherway but dont think having a back to fron airflow would be great when the GPU will be exhausting out of rear

You're feeding air to your GPU directly from your bottom fans now though so I don't see it being an issue.

Also the Gigabyte Super OC GTX 480 you have doesn't exhaust out of the back of the case, it actually dumps its heat into the case, so it might be worth flipping your PSU over and use the fan to act as an additional exhaust for the GPUs (temp increase won't affect PSU cooling).

Hmm, now that I've noticed specifically which GPU you're using I can see airflow design being a bit tricky now in the case.

i am very jelly, keep up the good work

Looks like an awesome build, how is the 620 in terms of temps, im thinking of getting one of thoses to.

He switched the GTX 480 for a 5850 Toxic

Must've missed that then - re-read necessary

In that case, with the card being fed directly by the double 120mm fans and exhausting out the back, the OP could probably just reverse the airflow through the case and drop everything by a few degrees. Saves having to bunch everything up at the back of the case by repositioning the Kuhler.

Just a thought.

lol OK, so the heat's being dumped back into the case again

Talk is cheap though, and we can discuss airflow until the cows come up. The best way is to just do it and see which approach gives you the lowest temps lol

Looks very sexy

Great build! Thanks for sharing this.

Wow that case is small must be a tight squeeze but still it looks awesome great job!
