With the reviews I've seen with that cooler, method 2 is the best for performance. I think it looks better too like that, plus it doesn't block any RAM slots

Finished

(Or just about)

Sorry for the delay, just wanted to complete this project as was taking forever (1 month!!) so havnt got any pics of what ive done since last update.

Anyhow here a quick few snapshots, will take some better ones in morning with some daylite..

Just a need a hdd cage for the ssd to be mounted in lower compartment, could just use the trays above but i think that space is screaming out to show off the lovely brushed aluminium ssd.

This system is long gone, have built two/three more systems since!

I get board easily

Craterloads, that's a gorgeous system, I came across it way back before I'd signed up to the forums.

Just wondering - did you manage to find a way to wire up the front panel buttons + ports?

no i didnt bother with it, was too much work at the time. I cut out the original power switch and replaced with a vandle one. If i were to do it again i would try to rewire them though. At the time not many people had worked with the 2011 case so there were no guides available on how to rewire the front panel headers/usb etc
