It certainly is...plus pretty much a colour to fit just about every GPU shroud/fan.
I agree the Recon looks much better, going to keep it on for sure now.

yeah, the corsair series of fans have the red ring (oooh er) and are decent too.
I'll need to measure that mate...not entirely sure.
Got an RMA ticket from Cooler Master so I'll be sending the Seidon off for changing soon, shame it's international shipping
Just a quick question, can you use a top rad either pulling in cold air or pushing out hot air with the solid top plate in place instead of the mesh?
The only reason i ask is this build it going to be part living room and part man cave usage. If it can still breathe ok with the solid lid then ill leave it in place for the living room just to keep the noise down.
I see around the case itself there's little slots that allow airflow around the front panel and wasn't sure if this extends to the top aswell.
Catch my drift? lol

Yea thats to be expected just wondered if it could atleast vent a bit. I was going to build a ITX system for the living room but as usual the spec gets carried away so i thought i'd just shrink my main rig.
for gaming and heavy tasks ill run the mesh, its just for the GF when she gets on one of her Sims sessions

Yeah, as mentioned above the vents continue up the front to the top of the case so there is some opportunity to vent but will be restricted.
It would have been ideal if they designed to hold 2x120mm fans at the front as the majority of the 200mm front fan is supplying air to the bottom of the case. Im going to attempt to fix this slightly higher to help airflow even further.
Good idea, get some pictures up if/when you can
Well the way the mesh works it turned out to be the ideal size for the screw mounts
Can fit 2x120mm fans above and below one another on the front panel and as you can see, the top one sits snug to the bottom of the 5.25" bay drive
RMA has been sent to Cooler Master, no idea how long the turnaround will be but I will be re-building again soon...with the Seidon in tow with a R9 290 cooled by an Accelero Hybrid
Rock solid mate...
Top on is screwed in at the bottom two points however as it sits flush against the drive bay it is solid
Bottom is screwed in at the top two points and seems solid enough too, plus it's only the standard 120mm fan that came pack with the case so @ 600rpm it won't rattle about.
Worked surprisingly well.

Was going to ask what are the temps like in this case?
Always a bit worried when a graphic card is next to a non vented window

i really like this case, but the cable management in it looks awful..
Yeah...cable management could be better...depending on the size of your mobo you essentially have one part to feed it all through.
I probably could have done a much better job of it however not something you're going to see. Would love a Modular PSU which would help massively.
Temps wise my card was running at the rated 94-95C for an R9 290 and the CPU when overclocked is around 70C load @4.4Ghz w/1.3V on my H80i.
I now have a accelero hybrid fitted to my R9 and your talking idling @ 30-35C and load is 70C.
